Trump said he may install his own allies on the committee if he secures the 1,237 delegates necessary to avoid a contested convention.
If elected President Trump went on to say he'd install his own Senate, House, SCOTUS, Secretary General of the U.N., Chancellor of Germany and starting shortstop for the Yankees.
You left off NFL commissioner
Trump is just becoming more and more unhinged every day. He seems to think that this is about becoming some sort of an emperor, where he issues decrees and “all those little people” just “make it happen.”
Or else.
SEE: “It would be a real shame if violence occurred at the convention, violence which I certainly am not encouraging, even if it would be completely justified.”
I am pretty sure Reibus is gone after this election, regardless of who actually ends up the nominee. He has fumbled this entire primary from start til…where we are now, and I fully expect him to bungle the finish.
Oh, Rachel Maddow is going to looove this! There is nothing funnier than watching Maddow tear Reince a new one because he doesn’t know how to do his fucking job. The only reason Republicans even win elections is because Dems don’t vote in the midterms, not because of Reince Priebus, Supergenius!
Only God presumes to meddle in that decision.
(Think it over)
Haven’t I been good to you?
(Think it over)
Haven’t I been sweet to you?
Stomp in the name of Trump
Or I will tip your cart…
I salivate at the thought of Trump running the party the same way he runs his businesses. Any man who can bankrupt casinos is the man we truly need to finally destroy the Republican Party.
Presidential nominees do not normally take such a prominent role in determining the leadership of the RNC and cannot vote on the chair’s selection.
I don’t know that that’s true. Normally, the nominee’s choice is deferred to – if there is an ignominious loss, then the chair gets booted at committee meeting the following January, e.g., Dean Burch with Goldwater and whomever McGovern put in.
“It’s very important to put some showbiz into a convention, otherwise people are going to fall asleep,” Trump told the Post. “We don’t have the people who know how to put showbiz into a convention.” (Donald Trump)
This is one of the most revealing statements Trump has ever uttered. He is nothing more than a narcissistic, rude, profane, misogynistic, racist carnival barker who loves putting on a show. That’s all he is – and he is very good at it.
Yeah, I can see Trump telling Newport News Shipbuilding he doesn’t like the fit and finish of the officer cabins in the newest billion dollar submarine. Plus the lighting is chintzy and there’s insufficient brass and glass throughout. So he’s going to pay them 10 cents on the dollar and if they don’t like it they can shove it.
Aw… Come on. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. Getting rid of Priebus could be the one good thing that Trump could do.
Places everyone… Virgin Islands take 2 … Lights… Camera… ACTION ! —
Great post. I sincerely hope that the notion that Trump has a great many of the characteristics and methods of a dictator takes hold to more and more people.
The carnival barker is great to get started.
Ironically, the rubes who are (with the overwhelming support of the MSM) acting as shock troops for Trump will be among his first victims.
I love it when Trump sounds all Presidential 'n stuff, saying grownup-style things like “I haven’t made the determination.” It’s like he’s been watching movies with Presidents in them, getting the lingo down. It would be almost charming in a pathetic, trying-so-hard kind of way if he were less horrifying, disgusting, and contemptible.
I’m just going to say it now…
Bring back Michael Steele!
Blather, Reince, Repeat is part of the Wisconsin GOP alliance that includes Lyin’ Ryan and Scotty “gonna tear down the U of W cause I couldn’t graduate” Walker. The Wisconsin GOP has no love for tRump which is why Carnival Cruz did so well there. Reince will be gone in a heartbeat if tRump is the nominee.
Those for whom Trump’s dictator-like, racist and thuggish comments are not horrifying horrify me almost as much as Trump.
Maybe more so.
