enter the arena , you should expect to get roughed up. Moreover,
Democracy in a nation of more than 300 million people is inherently
difficult. Barack Obama (1961 - ), University of Michigan Commencement, 2010”

More than half a dozen of Trump’s former campaign staff members or leading volunteer organizers from around the country — and many more local volunteers — have signed on to the long-shot campaign of Ryan’s primary challenger, businessman Paul Nehlen, who openly embraces Trump and casts Ryan as an impediment to Trump’s agenda.

Will they have to switch sides now?

Donald Trump’s campaign chairman said Thursday that the Republican nominee’s refusal to endorse House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in the Wisconsin Republican primary is not unusual or newsworthy.

***“We’ve sort of had a rule of not getting involved in primaries because it’s usually not a good situation for the presidential candidate,” c***ampaign chairman Paul Manafort said on ABC News’ “Good Morning America” on Thursday.

And these dumb, flip-flopping bastards want to run the country. Will they have rotating policies that vary depending on whether the day on the calendar is odd or even?
