Long ago I figured out that watching how a candidate organizes and conducts their campaign is a good indicator of their ability to run a government. But then again there are exceptions to this rule. This year it comes in the form of Raphael Cruz who has an organized ground game, can motivate his supporters and understands the political process. Yet, he is not one who is given to “playing well with others”. Hence he would be a serious disaster as President. That’s in addition to his extreme right wing views and potential policies. But he does know how to get elected.

It’s the first time in Trump’s life that hyperbolic bloviating and menacing threats of endless litigation hasn’t worked. He’s the dog looking to pee in the corner of a round house.

lol…How do these guys think Von Clownstick is going to negotiate with Putin when he can’t even get the ins and outs of Republican politics right?

These temper tantrums remind me of the rise of 'Baggerati and the town halls back in '09 and '10. But the GOP was very happy to foment those revolts because they were all targeted against Obama and the Dems.

Complaining because you don’t like the rules? Storming out like you’re taking your ball and going home? How very mature of them.
Ga. Trump Backers Storm Out Of Meeting With US Flag After Losing Delegates.
And after they checked out of the Motel6 later that morning–
it was discovered the bath towels and a Gideon’s Bible were among items that had gone missing.

Trump has run before but bailed early. He also has “considered” runs in previous elections but never got past the considering part. So technically it’s not Trump’s 1st run. But it is the 1st time he really really got seriously involved and I think he was surprised at the reaction to his announcement last July. The comments about Mexican being drug dealers and rapists hit a nerve with the “less informed” among the population. So he went with that tact. Trump is a Within a month or maybe two he had jazzed himself so much his ego now would never let him back out of the race. So he has continued to bumble and bullshit his way forward. He began with zero organization, no grassroots efforts in any states…essentially no traditional efforts at anything. Just his buffoonery and tweets. And the media treated this as serious politics when in truth it was all a charade. A fucking joke that became an attempt to elect the worst candidate that could possibly be conjured. Trump hasn’t any real clue how to run a campaign, much less a Presidency. And he doesn’t seem to be able to learn nearly fast enough. To me it makes no sense at all to elect someone to this office who thinks “on the job training” is a good idea.

Quite happy they were.
“Break glass only in case of emergency” does not apply only to the handlers of the Storm Troopers. It can apply to the Storm Troopers themselves

It’s actually something pro road cyclists use to prevent “saddle sores”. Think 2500 miles in the Tour de France. But I suppose in a pinch it could have other uses.

These folks are lost. You can always tell the new kid in school because they can’t find the cafeteria. Politically, they are in for a rude awakening. It’s not the GOP rules, it’s not disenfranchisement, it’s just the fact they don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

And that’s why the best outcome for all this would be Trump getting nominated and then losing his ass big time in November. It means an adult gets elected and the GOP has to kick out the crazies or end up on the ash heap of history.

LOL. Your explanation makes sense, but at first sight I thought that was just another of the many pic jokes people post here. I kept looking at the logo … and all I could think of was, well, you know. Shows you where my mind is a good portion of the time.

@ottnott Trying to out-Trump Trump…
Wow, you mean Republicans don’t like Republicans electioneering tactics any more than Democrats? Go figure.
I’m wondering, was hat Trump hat wearing patriot even registered to the Republican party? I’ve heard that can present a certain challenge to Trump supporters.
