Awkward!
I read this article yesterday:

If it’s true, Trump didn’t build his organization to go the distance. And if that’s true, then why not have all the wheels come flying off now?
Maybe relevant, maybe not, but according to the Daily Beast’s Olivia Nuzzi, a “campaign insider” says L.'s been lying about this to Trump, hiding the images and so forth from him. Imagine that! Hope Hicks too, she’s under his sway somehow. So maybe Trump is trying to remember that phrase you use when you tell someone they’re no longer in your employ. On the other hand Trump’s been attacking the reporter with his trademark thuggish buffoonery. They’re just buggering this up in every way and direction possible when a god-damn simple apology in the beginning would have ended it. Not how these freaks roll, obviously.
ETA: Here’s an analysis from Jim Newell, an extremely smart observer of and a refreshingly good writer about the political scene. Short version, Trump won’t fire Lewandowski, because Trump’s big and strong and never wrong, and that kind of thing will hurt him cumulatively with the decent people.
Now there’s a cat fight going on on CNN about a woman sleazily associated by Trump with Cruz(viz a viz, the National Enquirer story). Tapper has interviewed the “wronged woman” and is now talking with a Trump spokeswoman. THIS is where the GOP has sunk to. What a sorry bag of sleaze the GOP has become.
My alternative is to read the Lord of the Rings trilogy …again just to feel like I’ve done something worthwhile today.
That sounds like a euphemism for Drumpf supporters.
Trump: Obama’s America claims yet another white conservative victim. Freedom of speech is in big trouble.
That sounds like a plan. If you only look at the political media it’d be like if LOTR had no characters but Gollum, Wormtongue, and about 20 million orcs. A person needs more uplift per day than that.
This seemed like a pretty significant story, but i had to find it at Digbys. You’d think TrumpPointsMemo might have found a slot for it.
HIs latest tweet at 3:40-ish PM isn’t backing down “Why is this reporter touching me? What’s in her hand” Jeez. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump (hey, how do I link to a single tweet?)
Trump crack up ‘presser’ just ended…for certain face work, eyes in the chiaroscuro jet lighting…Trump and Corey, of course, the real victims.
But if you’re a fan of alliteration, you’d have to go for Huckabee’s Hope Hicks.
It’s clear who the ‘thugs and punks’ are. They work for and support a tinpot trumpy dictator.
Every network ran with the headline: “Top Trump Campaign Aid Charged with Assault.” ______ FOX: “Breaking: ‘He’s Absolutely Innocent,’ says Trump”
lmao
BTW: I refused to check at Breitbart or RedState for fear of getting a browser STD.
Ya’ know? It just dawned on me that I’ve never seen Lewandowski
and THIS GUY
in the same room together!
Hmmm…just sayin’! …put a little moustache on … 
Interesting to read about the train wreck. But good grief, that was a rambling mess of a blog post she wrote. She needs an editor. It’s as if she posted 20 different drafts of the same 3 paragraphs.
Actually smart, remember your words even a month after the event could be used to convict you…
in each tweet there’s a “…” for further actions, including share, embed tweet, etc.
Hard to say, but at core Trump’s advantage has been the ~$2 billion of free media exposure he has received. Plus it turns out that large swaths of the Republican primary base aren’t especially doctrinaire. They just like it when someone promises to kick ass.
Sort of surprised Lewandowski cancelled O’Reilly. I would have to thought those two guys would sit down and commiserate while sharing old war stories.
