    - No to your IM...I seriously doubt that Trump with his skeleton staff has somebody to do this - amoxy Jul 19, 08:07 4
      - I don't think its right - everyone's all " artist's rights" and pay for their music and stop stealing from artists - Epiphany Jul 19, 08:26 3
        
        They do pay. -- nm - Ender Jul 19, 08:34 1
        
        that good. Another angle - its bad form. it always cause a PR snafu, just have someone notify the artist - etc. - Epiphany Jul 19, 08:41

  - And not surprisingly Corey Lewandowski is throwing him some serious shade -- (link) - amoxy Jul 19, 08:20 3
    - "look at the claws on that one" -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 08:30
    - Whoever writes the book/makes the movie about this whole campaign better not eff it up. It's incredible. - Diva Jul 19, 08:24 1
      - seriously. did we expect to see something more stupefying than Palin? -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 08:33
- He has to try something since owning up to stupid shit isn't in Trump's playbook. - Will Hunting Jul 19, 07:49 1
  - And on CNN I heard a supporter saying that the phrases were probably borrowed since Michelle failed to follow through on those promises. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 08:13
If Trump is so loyal, maybe he is so loyal to the Democratic party that this is a big ruse to get Hillary elected. - JaxSean Jul 19, 07:42 8
- I've said it before in jest(?)--if Trump's entire campaign was secretly a long con to get Hillary elected what would he be doing differently? -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 07:45 7
  - I don't think any true couple would set their life partner up like that? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 14:46
  - Thinking this through, how could he possibly know the same buffoonery that got him the nomination would hurt him in the general election? -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 19, 07:50 3
    - Because he's Donald Effin Trump; and he's done what no one thought possible by being him... - Will Hunting Jul 19, 07:52 2
      - Well, right now close to 44% with Hillary only at 47%. - Inigo Jul 19, 07:54 1
        
        Lets see the numbers after both conventions. That is the first time I pay them any mind. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 08:33

JFC... -- nm - Paul Ryan Jul 19, 07:40 12
- Your turn tonight Gollum! -- nm - Diva Jul 19, 07:41 11
  - The absolute greatest thing he could do for his political career would be to stand up at the podium, stare out at the crowd for about a minute and say - pmb Jul 19, 07:43 10
    - 'leave now and never come back!!' -- nm - Gollum to Trump Jul 19, 07:58
    - I want to see how long he can talk about conservative principles and his 2020 run without actually saying Trump's name. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 19, 07:45
    - I don't know if Kasich will want to try again in 2020 but at least he'll be the one guy on the stage who won't have Trump Stank on his fingers -- nm - gerald Jul 19, 07:45 7
      - Resist...Resist -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 07:47
      - You could have a few -- Sasse, Kasich, Larry Hogan - Will Hunting Jul 19, 07:46 5
        
        Larry Hogan would be GOP Martin O'Malley against the big hitters like Ryan, Rubio, and Cruz - gerald Jul 19, 07:59 4
        
        Very likely...but depends on how the stank of Trump hits those others - Will Hunting Jul 19, 08:01 3
        
        Their problem will be whoever tries to be the next Trump - gerald Jul 19, 08:03 2
        
        I think the one thing that helps them is the next Trump won't be as odious or popular - Will Hunting Jul 19, 08:15 1
        
        His 40% of the GOP want to believe all the bullshit. Someone else will find a way to give it to them -- nm - gerald Jul 19, 08:28

- truthfully, i can't believe we care about a few repeated sentences when what the others said was FAR MORE IMPORTANT and FAR scarier. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 07:56 7
  - It's a big deal, but agreed. I would put Trump calling O'Reilly while his own convention was going a bigger mistake but that is not getting much play. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 08:36
  - It's funny more than anything else. They're low rent con artists trying to pull the ultimate scam. - David Jul 19, 08:06
  - ...and I for one pointed out how wrong and scary things were all night yesterday or as long as I could watch that crap. -- nm - Diva Jul 19, 08:05
  - As I said in a post on B2 that was LIR, the problem is that it makes them look inept in something where they have complete control over a highly - pmb Jul 19, 08:00 1
    - oh it makes them look inept. but he does that pretty much daily. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 08:02
  - It's worth a chuckle - it's the "first lady" speech, who's expecting much - but as has been pointed out it's the reaction from the Trump camp that's - Reagen Jul 19, 08:00
  - 100% agree. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 19, 07:58
