I wonder if Donald talked to Regis philbin, the RNC chair, about making a deal with Cruz. Kasich has said twice he's not in to be VP...so there must be something in the works. DT is a deal maker par excellence of the first order, and Cruz has been working delegates since before the election started. I see a deal coming up. | |||

So that's what Philbin has been up to since he retired...I've been wondering. Good for him. They do make a good team.   | |||

I don't know if this will help or hurt the Donald, but it sounds entertaining.  Donald Trump’s Hells Angels Want to Kick Protester Ass A band of bikers has pledged to keep protesters from disrupting Donald Trump’s rallies—at all costs. http://www.thedailybeast.com/a...s-hell-s-angels.html | |||

In my humble opinion, the (ONLY) best shot to snatch the White House from the jaws of Hitlery is to establish a Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump ticket. Trouble is, will Trump's ego allow him to be a lowly Veep as a means to keep that evil bitch out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and for the good of the Republican Party and this country? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Never. That is almost as hard to imagine as Hillary confessing and pleading "guilty" on Halloween. Trump is the exact center of the universe. It all revolves around him, always has. He will no more be Vice President than Pope. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

As it currently stands, Trump has 736 delegates to Cruz's 463. The popular vote is Trump's 7,811,245 to Cruz's 5,732,220. So why would Trump, at this point, be expected to even consider volunteering himself to second place? | |||

I am confused about what North Dakota is doing this weekend. https://www.washingtonpost.com...an-convention-works/ 28 delegates to be selected unbound to anyone. | |||

Surely not! They can't be expected, nor depended upon, to use sound judgment to cast their votes for what they judge to be best for the party, and the country! This is unamerican.

The deck is being stacked. Tennessee http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...delegates-tennessee/ The State Executive Committee of the Tennessee Republican Party approved a controversial slate of establishment-friendly Trump and Cruz delegates in a vote on Saturday. The meeting, held in a second floor room of an obscure office building in Nashville, was guarded by private security that refused to let a number of Trump alternate delegates and supporters inside. At least two people on the establishment’s slate who would be assigned to serve as “Trump delegates” have trashed Trump on social media. They are SEC members Melissa Gay and Ken Gross. There are believed to be other “Trojan Horse” delegates who will try to be selected to represent Trump/Cruz, but who will instead vote with the party establishment on rules and credentials, etc. to hurt Cruz’ and Trump’s efforts at the convention. Some of the Cruz delegates named today were also clearly not Cruz supporters. Former Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney, an ardent enemy of Tea Party causes and no friend of Cruz, was selected as a Cruz delegate. Of the 13 delegates allocated to Cruz and Trump today in the State Executive Committee’s vote, eight are clearly loyal to the Republican establishment and not supporters of the candidate to whom they are legally bound (Trump or Cruz) on the first two ballots. These “Trojan Horse” delegates, while expected to honor their legal obligation when casting their votes during the first two ballots for the presidential nominee, are expected to side with the anti-Trump and anti-Cruz establishment forces in the all-important procedural and rule votes. Instead of calling for the appointments to be made with the “advice and consent” of the relevant campaigns, the bylaws were changed so that the appointments are now made merely with the “advice” of the campaigns. Neither the Trump nor the Cruz campaigns, apparently, consented to the delegate slate approved today, but, due to the rules change, their consent is not needed. | |||

I have said it before as it relates to election fraud, and it applies here as well. Anybody who screws with our election process in order to subvert the will of the people should be guilty of a capital crime. Hang every single one of them. | |||

Oh I agree, at least philosophically, and that includes scenarios where it's both legal and within Party rules. I'd settle for tarring and feathering them, if given the option. | |||

"Gentlemen" may not be the best word. The Hells Angels have a bad track record as some sort of security or presence in what may be a heightened situation. In what way do you think they would help Trump in the primary or otherwise? Here's an excerpt from a book with a bit of experiential history: The Rolling Stones at Altamont: the day the music died Altamont, December 6, 1969, was supposed to mark a glorious end to the Rolling Stones’ US tour. Instead, Hells Angels ran riot. Ethan A Russell, the tour photographer, saw the horror unfold. An anxious Mick Jagger on stage during their ill-fated Altamont set . . . The Rolling Stones’ 1969 US Tour was a remarkable tour at a remarkable time. Some say Altamont – the free concert tacked on to the end – ended the Sixties. Since I was the photographer for the tour I had an inside view of the sometimes ecstatic experiences of the 16 shows and the nightmare that was Altamont. . . 'Altamont was going to be Woodstock West,’ . . . Mick Jagger had no such luck. His realisation came instantly. Stanley Booth, another writer, saw it happen: 'Mick got off the first helicopter with Ronnie [Schneider, the tour manager] when a kid comes running up to Mick and says: “I hate you,” or something, and punches Mick right in the mouth.’ Ronnie recalls: 'I remember Mick screaming: “Don’t hurt him, don’t hurt him!” Me, I wanted to kill the guy right away. That set the tone.’ Jo Bergman, the Stones’ office manager, saw it too: 'On the day of the show there were these ugly people all around. Then I went into the tent with the Hells Angels. These people were very spooky.’ Hells Angels always scared me. I knew, of course, about their new peaceful reputation in the San Francisco scene. I’d read how Ken Kesey invited them to participate and how they would stand next to the stage at concerts in San Francisco, a kind of unofficial security presence. 'Michelle Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas came,’ says Booth, 'bearing tales of how the Angels were fighting with civilians, women, and each other, bouncing full cans of beer off people’s heads.’ During the Jefferson Airplane set, a Hells Angel had beaten Marty Balin, the lead singer, unconscious. Charlie Watts, the Stones’ drummer: 'I was talking to a couple of the Angels when the tent flap wobbled and one of them whacked it with a billiard cue – there was probably some kid’s head behind it. When it came time for us to go on, the Angels made a line for us to pass through. I felt very worried as we walked to the stage.’ Bill Wyman, bassist: 'We could be halfway through a song and suddenly there was some commotion, and the Angels were just beating the s--- out of some guy. The crowd would open and you would see six Angels just whacking them with pool cues, and you thought: “What’s going on?”’ I expected Mick to stop it. I naively believed he had the power, and was disappointed he seemed so timid. Keith Richards, much bolder, tried to put a stop to it – and then was told someone in the audience had a gun and was shooting at the stage. That someone was Meredith Hunter. Wave after wave of violence swept through the crowd, causing people to be jammed up against each other. There were swarms of people on the stage, including many Hells Angels. Sam Cutler announced that the Rolling Stones would not perform until the stage had cleared. Hunter got involved in trying to get people off the speaker boxes in front of the stage. The next thing Hunter was arguing with six or seven Hells Angels. He tried to get away to the right of the stage but was hemmed in by the crowd. He turned and pulled his gun. Alan Pasarro, a Hells Angel standing near the stage, saw the gun. He pulled a five-inch knife and stabbed it deep into Hunter’s back. Bill Wyman: 'Mick Taylor and I were the ones nearest to it. We saw the crowd open up and the guy chase the other guy right in front of us. We both saw the commotion when the guy got stabbed. We saw the whole thing, and my heart skipped a beat.’ Mick finally spoke up: 'You know, this could be the most beautiful evening we’ve had this winter if we are all one, let’s show we’re all one!’ After his plea Mick continued, 'Now there’s one thing we need, Sam. We need an ambulance.’ But it was too late. Bergman: 'We were taken to the helicopter and I had this feeling that it was like you were the last person on the last chopper out of ’Nam.’ Astrid Lundstrom, Bill’s girlfriend, escaped on the helicopter: 'I don’t remember anyone talking about it. I remember them being more like in shock. There was none of that usual bravado.’ Bill: 'It must seem strange that no one has talked about it. The chaos of the earlier tours was fun. But no one really talked about Altamont because there was nothing to laugh about. No good memories.’ In an interview shortly afterwards Mick remarked: 'I thought the scene in San Francisco was supposed to be so groovy. It was terrible. If Jesus had been there he would have been crucified.’ LINK Once you toss the Mentos into the soda bottle, there is but one reaction to follow: Explosive mayhem. _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

"Well don't start none won't be none" The guy pulled a gun and got killified. Little Mickey was/is full of shit. I think Sonny Barger let him know just that at the time. ************************************************* NRA Life Member Capital punishment means never having to say, "You again?" | |||
