Petty, petty man. Um - lady, you don’t work for me - but I am the most important person to your job - and your middle name (family name) aggravates me - so I need you to change your name.

Wtf?

She must really hate her family to do that

Uh, let’s be plain about one thing: She agreed to drop part of her name. She chose to put Trump and the RNC before her own family and heritage.

Not necessarily the party has been cultified, and the cult leader made the demand - so what choice did she have?

Would he have mocked her name incessantly and been an asshole with cover of “just joking”. Or perhaps he was trying to get her to prove her loyalty to HIM over her family since Mitt RMoney is his arch rival (along with Obama and Hillary)? Or perhaps she felt pressure from the RNC new board member - Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

Is she going to use “Huckabee” instead? “Conway”? “Hicks”? “Clinton”?

She approved the transfer of RNC funds to Roy Moore–she’s not worthy of a moment’s contemplation.

Very true.

But I also remember Mitt - hat in hand - sacrificing his dignity and integrity by going to dinner with Trump at Jean-George’s, hoping to be selected for the Secretary of State position. I can’t really say she’s doing anything different. Selling your soul must be on the Romney family crest.

It’s like Shakespeare for Dummies. “The Duke of Romney hath much offended thy king! Let his hated name never more be uttered in the Court of Trump!”

My take-away is that the Republican Civil War is really getting started. I’m pretty sure Mitt’s going to run, and yes will win and then form the nucleus of the “Never Trump” side of the battlefield. They’'ll likely get the Mercer money, et.al. and Trump will disappear with the indictments. He’ll probably still be a name for the mid-terms, but next Presidential cycle, it’ll be “Drumf did you say? Never heard of him. Wasn’t he a Democrat?”

The Red Rubes won’t buy it, but it’s possible the Democrats will make enough gaffs and blunders that they’ll piss off enough centrists and Bernie Bros (and with a bit more Russian help) that they hold on.

(Note: If you don’t like this scenario, the onus is on you to get engaged and prevent it from happening…)

I agree about the civil war in the GOP but I disagree with your projected outcome.

We’re going win next year and in 2020.

I remember his going but I don’t know about that hat in hand. I don’t think it was a friendly tete-a-tete on either side.

A Romney with fewer principles than Mitt?

mention of the name Romney “often prompted boos at his events.”

so should Ivanka drop Trump and be called Kushner, as the name Trump often prompts boos at…

She might end up wishing she had before it’s all said and done.
