Trump is also expected to propose creating a new, ideological test for admission to the country that would assess a candidate's stances on issues like religious freedom, gender equality and gay rights.

Awesome. At least half of Trump supporters wouldn't pass a test like this.

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson on Monday accused “left-wing reporters” of “literally” beating Trump supporters.

Katrina Pierson claims reporters 'literally beat' Trump's supporters - POLITICO

This part of Weird Al's "Word Crimes" parody comes to mind.

The campaign does not know what it is doing.

The books/stories that will come out later about the mismanagement will be epic.

She always seems to be on whenever Trump has just said something really stupid. For every article covering her saying something stupid, there's one less article covering Trump's gaffe. I doubt they even give her any talking points.

She's a woman, mildly attractive and has darker skin. She's everything a trump supporter isn't supposed to be. So she's trotted out there no matter how dumb she seems. Plus she (allegedly) slept with Ted Cruz, so we know she (allegedly) has no shame.

In the same speech he praised Pence to the Ohio crowd and said they know how great he was as governor of their state. I guess he forgot that Team Trump hates the Republican governor of Ohio.

Edit: dementia maybe??? This just seems beyond believable.

wow Rudy time to go see a doctor. I have no idea how he could forget 9/11 or "conveniently forget" it just to try to make Obama/Clinton look worse than Bush.

To be fair to Rudy, Trump is a 9/11 truther, so maybe he is just toe-ing the company line by stating that it wasn't really a "radical islamic" attack.

Or, he doesn't consider 9/11 a success, as it didn't bring down America, only a couple of buildings and a few thousand people he could exploit for political gain.

to be fair and from what i read on it: he was "merely" handpicking his stats by saying there were no attacks between 9/11 (which he mentioned) and Obama taking over. Whyever he would think that´s a viable measurable, i don´t know. He did however exclude the incident at the LA Airport in 2002 ...

Or "Well, we shouldn't have been in Iraq, but since we were there and kicked Sadaam's ass, we should just keep the oil." I think he's playing Hearts of Iron :P

Interesting thing I saw, looks like the GOP establishment is finally firing back at the "Burn it all down" clique known as the House Freedom Caucus. They did get Huselkamp, and they're aiming at a couple more scalps now.

The GOP establishment strikes back - POLITICO

My wife asked me the other day what the hell has happened to him. From what I can tell, his obsession with clearing out the homeless in NYC was more about a crusade against anyone poor and a minority, and that has just grown in recent years.

They may or may not reach the percentages they need to get into the debates and/or get matching funds. But I think that Johnson/Weld have run a brilliant campaign.

The dishonest and biased media is at it again.

Trump adviser Al Baldasaro: Hillary Clinton should be shot for treason, not assassinated | masslive.com

Quote:
An adviser to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump doubled down Tuesday on comments he made saying that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton should be shot for treason.

But New Hampshire state Rep. Al Baldasaro, a Republican who co-chairs Trump's national veterans' coalition, stressed that he was not saying someone should assassinate Clinton.

"The liberal media took what I said and went against the law and the Constitution and ran with it, and they said that I wanted her assassinated, which I never did," Baldasaro told The Republican/MassLive.com. "I said I spoke as a veteran, and she should be shot in a firing squad for treason."

Is it too early to talk about 2018? Former baseball player/commentator Curt Schilling considering running against Elizabeth Warren. Given his business past, plus a Trump-like love of Twitter (where he said controversial things about transgenders and Muslims), perhaps he shouldn't bother.

Yeah, schilling would have a bit of name value about 2004, but yeah, no fucking chance to beat Warren, considering the stuff that got him thrown off ESPN.
