Democrats from both camps are eating themselves alive today, over some Caucus drama in Nevada. Some monkey business with the "rules" and behaviors, and how the game is rigged in favor of Hillary despite her and her supporters being in the minority. Claims of 60 or so otherwise certified Bernie delegates being refused entry (about the same amount as the narrow gap in the votes...), locked bathrooms to encourage people to leave, food being held up on purpose, and a hurried ending to the day to thwart a recount and despite several open motions. YouTube videos are being posted and removed fairly fast, too.

It's fairly entertaining.

Here's one video.

Yay

Who's gonna have a contested convention? The dems are gonna be absolutely desperate as Trump build momentum.

Rep Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska has been pushing for a third party run. He is part of the Never Trump crowd.

The State Republican Convention in Nebraska gave Ben some feedback.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-g...umiliates-ben-sasse/

Delegates to the State Republican Convention in Nebraska dealt a near unanimous reprimand to Sen. Ben Sasse on Saturday for his outspoken support for the “Never Trump” effort designed to deny presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump the presidency in November.

Sen. Ben Sasse’s reprimand passed by a voice vote, which a reporter at the event said was at least 400 to 8.

Not only did “[d]elegates at the State Republican Convention overwhelmingly [pass the] resolution opposing Sasse’s call for a third candidate” in the voice vote, delegates doubled down in their support of Trump as the presumptive nominee.

It was a huge hometown comeuppance for the young Nebraska senator who easily won his first political race in 2014.

Sasse is really beginning to piss me off.

The reprimand of Sasse reminds me of an old saying.

The long knives are out and they're headed for the tall grass.

For spite, these "NeverTrump" assholes would rather see the country forever destroyed by Hitlery as President.

I am stocking up on popcorn and Jim Beam. 2016 is going too be "The Greatest Show on Earth". Old P.T. would be proud.

Sasse didn't even have the guts to endorse anyone in this race, so he lost to right to complain about Trump being the nominee.

I cannot agree with this premise that if you do not vote for or endorse someone, you lose your right of free speech. I cannot find it in the Constitution or any other set of laws.

I think that Sasse has the right to prove he is wrong as much as he wants.

Slow learners.

Vox Populi. you jerks. Figure it out someday, huh?

He has the right to do what he wants, but I have no respect for it and he looks like a schmuck. If he wanted to get into the fight he had a year to do so and 15 other candidates to choose from. Now he wants to drill a hole in the boat because he doesn't like the guy who won?

for whatever reason, Priebus has been towing the line since day one. Especially in the last few months, he has not been a Trump naysayer.

The Entrepreneur’s Case for Trump

What elitists misinterpret as uneven principles is really adaptability—and, by the way, he can win.

Anthony Scaramucci

The rise of Donald Trump has exposed a deep chasm in America between the haves and have-nots. I could go on, but you have probably read that story by now. You’ve also likely read about conservatives who think that stopping Mr. Trump is the only way to save their cause. I’m here to explain why they couldn’t be more wrong. What principled conservatives fail to understand is how the nation would benefit from putting a right-leaning entrepreneur in the White House.


I too began the primary cycle as a critic of Donald Trump. I’ve never come across a candidate who perfectly matched my philosophical fingerprint—have you ever found such a match?—but I am a Republican because the party best represents the ideals of human liberty and economic empowerment that fuel the American dream. Mr. Trump shares those values.


Here are four things that the movement from the right to stop Donald Trump is missing:


• He has empathy. Mr. Trump is both a beneficiary and victim of the soundbite generation. He has leveraged social media to run a thrifty campaign, but critics have also latched onto one-liners rather than examine the whole of his record. You couldn’t find one person who knows Donald Trump who thinks he’s a racist. While his stance on immigration has often been expressed in brutish terms, the substance of his message—securing America’s borders and pausing the Syrian refugee program—is not crazy. Mr. Trump’s empathy, when voters see it properly expressed, will lead to victory in November and to policies fortified by longstanding conservative values.


• He is a pragmatic entrepreneur. What elitists misinterpret as uneven principles, entrepreneurs understand as adaptability. Whether you like or dislike Mr. Trump personally, you have to respect the business empire and brand he has built. He has always demonstrated an ability to take punches and get up off the mat while others without his fortitude and ingenuity would have crumbled. Most of his critics have never dared to step into the entrepreneurial arena where there exists the potential of embarrassing defeat. Mr. Trump would be the greatest pragmatist and deal maker Washington has ever seen.


• He is a team builder. I have spent several hours over the past few weeks with Mr. Trump, and I came away with the feeling he has the analytical depth to excel at the job of the presidency. Mr. Trump has put his ego aside to reinforce Corey Lewandowski’s formidable campaign team with a talented group of people: Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Scott Brown, Paul Manafort, Rick Wiley and Steven Mnuchin, to name a few. Mr. Trump has shown a willingness to welcome Republican establishment figures into his coalition. The establishment should be constructive in return. If he were elected president, like any smart entrepreneur Mr. Trump would continue to surround himself with brilliant people.


• He can win. Pundits cherry-pick polls to suit their narrative, but the reality is that Mr. Trump is already in a good position even before turning his full attention to Hillary Clinton. Skeptics point to a recent CNN poll showing her with a double-digit lead, but a Rasmussen poll showing Mr. Trump leading by two points gets less attention. The electoral map is ultimately all that matters, and a Quinnipiac University poll released May 10 showed the two candidates basically in a dead heat in three crucial swing states. All of the momentum in the general election will swing to Mr. Trump, but establishment Republicans had better realize abstention would in effect be a vote to put Hillary Clinton in the White House.


As the product of a middle-class household and an entrepreneur who loves this country, I understand both the appeal Mr. Trump has to the electorate and the opportunity to put Republican policies at the forefront of American politics for a generation. I’m not willing to lose this election over bruised egos.


I urge my fellow Republicans to listen to the will of the people, shun the destructive cynicism of the past eight years, and unite not only for the good of the party, but for the good of the nation.

NYT caught lying about Trump's exgirlfriend

A woman featured in the New York Times expose on Donald Trump’s past experiences with women says the “Old Gray Lady” is full of bunk.

Appearing on Fox News Monday morning, former model Rowanne Brewer Lane spoke out against the Times article that the media set their news cycles on all weekend long.

Brewer Lane went on to say she “did not have a negative experience” with the presumptive GOP nominee. “He was a gentleman,” she said.

This is s riot...

Well, here's the other kind of riot . . .

On Saturday, the Bernie supporters at the Nevada State Convention allegedly started throwing chairs and rushed the stage. Then, law enforcement arrived to cancel the rest of the convention. Link

The Never Trump folks will, perhaps, infuriate delegates at the Republican Convention as well. Cruz worked hard to get spots on the rules and credentials committees. And, Cruz still seems bent on creating problems. As I wrote months ago, these conventions are the very hotbed of unfairness and anger-inducing cheating.

Denying certain delegates a right to participate at the door through credentials is a first step. Then, this effort to have a vote without giving time to consider or even see slates or rules is another. I only say this because all delegates must be prepared for hand to hand from before the very opening bell of the convention.

The Democrats are tasting some of the wrath of ordinary people over pulling crooked stuff. The Republicans are not out of the woods yet.

There's some crack investigative reporting there. Everything the guy has ever done for the last ~30 years has been plastered across every magazine, tabloid, TV and other media. But, no, this dirt is neeeww.
