Flip meet Flop. Ronna Romney gets revenge from the inside for her uncle.

Make up your mind. Once you start walking through a door, it can be hazadardous to suddenly find that it is closed. A person could put an eye out.

Yeah, this makes them look incredibly organized and professional.

Wondering if no one told Trump they were limiting press. I thought it weird that the ultimate egomaniac didn’t want press.

This is really enjoyable.

Romneys are clever and competent.

Anyway, the positively public flip-flopping signals panic, disarray. There’s no way this is helping internally for campaign, nor internal Republican organization.

Glee!

If you are going to do a goat rodeo, there’s no sense in half measures. Finally one thing Republicans are good at, a clusterf%#k of epic proportions.

Ronna may end up being sneaky. Changing her last name may have been a ruse to get inside.

Is it conceptually possible to unreverse the reversal of an unreversed reversal?

Press Sec McAninny will tell us tomorrow that of course the president* has been consistent all along in wanting as many people, even fake media, at the Charlotte death-fest. Especially fake media, in fact. He’ll arrange their chairs so that they’re right next to each other and they have to share microphones.

Proving that the R’s are as good at organizing their nomination rally as they are at governing.
I don’t care, do you?
Wouldn’t waste a minute of my time watching/reading about the upcoming shit show.

Only if it is a reversible process. Irreversible processes are conceptually in a league of their own. This is baked in time. There is no going back. No amount of Iwanka-branded plastic surgery, silicone, collagen, botox, vinyl, make-up or perfume is going to make this turd look like a pig with lipstick.

Charlotte, Jacksonville, reporters, no reporters, mail-in ballots, absentee voting? What is it going to be?

I’ve been thinking about 2004 when Sen, Obama gave the keynote speech at the Democratic Convention. I wonder who will give or if there will be a keynote speech at the Republican convention in either state.

And it looks like the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing with the RNC and WH.

The Republican Party and RNC have become as erratic and unmoored from reality as Trump himself, so not really a surprise.

Someone more sensible realized if there’s no media coverage, then for all practical purposes, you don’t exist and it didn’t happen.

It makes about as much sense as playing the Super Bowl in private.

Here’s the way this plays out …

  • the media is allowed in
    But
  • each individual must sign all encompassing NDA’s requiring total non-disclosure for 10 years.

I am currently reviewing your question and will have an answer around the same time Trump reveals his healthcare plan. So don’t hang tight.
