I’m a bit nervous that Trump isn’t going to make it through the convention.

Trump is the dog that bites the hand that feeds it.

Is Ryan going to claim that he didn’t know Trump was a racist before his endorsement? Could Ryan really be the intellectual powerhouse Republicans think he is?

I’ll take your word for it. 
Personally I wonder about the meltdown scenario. He’s pushing 70 and has had some extraordinarily spectacular and public failures already, and never cracked up that I’ve read about. He’s put himself in what most of us would consider near-unbearable stress, but a delusional narcissist might well not see it the way we would. (I’ve read they typically arrive at therapist’s office only because life comes to seem empty to them.) Bottom line, I don’t think it’s inevitable he’ll do the party that favor.

Exactly. The MSM needs to ask the this of the surrogate: "Are you sure that this is what you’re supposed to say? Have they sent you a new memo that you haven’t read yet? Because yesterday you were told to say one thing, and then immediately you were told to say something else. Do you have any ideas of your own, or are you required to say exactly what Mr. Trump says you can say? Is this what we can expect from a Trump presidency–being allowed to say only what the boss says is ok? Will it extend beyond paid lackeys like yourself, or will it be required of all of us? Will those of us who don’t say what he wantsbe targeted? In what way? Will you be disciplined if you answer my questions honestly? In what way is that not political correctness?
And then they need to call every member of the GOP establishment and ask the same questions.
The best way to get this done is to ridicule each and every one of them. It is racist to point out that they are being racist by judging someone by his ethnic background,. Don’t accept it. Push back.

This is hilarious. Trump wanted his surrogates to call people racists, so now they are calling the highest elected official in their party a racist.

“…Jeffrey Lord, a member of the Reagan administration…”
A foot soldier in an administration that launched its campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi championing “state’s rights”, spoke of “young bucks” using food stamps to buy “steak”, and flogged “Cadillac-driving welfare queens” has NO business accusing anyone else of “playing the race card”.
But, then again, expecting corporate media like CNN to recall GOP history is wildly unrealistic…

The narrative is quickly progressing from “Can Trump dial it back and be more Presidential acting in his quest for the White House?” to “Is Trump even qualified to hold the office?”

I think that it’s racist for someone to criticize a person who, in turn, criticized someone for making a racist comment.

If I were anyone important, I’d be booking my inauguration ticket right now.
It’d be so ironic if the first thing Hillary did as President was to nominate Judge Curiel for SCOTUS. (I’m not saying she should, not knowing how progressive he is…but it would be a nice slap in the face for Trump).

Is there even the tiniest shred of logic in this Trump response? Do he and his surrogates actually believe that anyone will hear this crap – I’m not playing the race card, you are! – and nod their heads in approval? There isn’t even the most infinitesimal germ of logic in this strategy. How is this supposed to redeem and elevate the Orange Man? Trump is the one singling out the ethnicity of the judge – no one else. How can criticism of that be considered racist? I don’t see any intelligible idea in this defense.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I think one of the reasons Clinton hasn’t fully openned up on him is that she wants to wait until after he’s nominated, just to prevent him from dropping out in late June and the GOP nominating a stronger candidate.

It sort of reminds me of something that happened to me when I was a teenager. I was a witness in a (minor) case involving a friend of the family’s. My father was a lawyer, but we were out of his state and so he helped out by coaching the young and inexperienced lawyer who was representing our friend. At one point my dad prepared me for what it might be like to be cross-examined-“So you’re good friends with the defendant, right? Could your recollection be slanted by that fact?” Something along those lines. Anyway, when the trial came and I was on the witness stand our lawyer asked the expected questions. But then she went on and started asking the hypothetical questions my dad had prepared me for! “So you’re good friend with the defendant right? ,etc.” And my father was frantically whispering to her, “No no that’s cross!”
In retrospect it was very funny.But I never thought I would see that situation repeated in a political campaign.
