Does this now mean the campaign only has 28 people on staff?
Please, let us not associate the Trump Campaign with nudity of any type. :eek:
Frankly, Ivanka has a terrific body, terrific body. Millions of men would love to sleep with her, believe me. And some women too in liberal circles. Just an outstanding body.
Good article on how the Trump campaign is in total disarray. No money , no staff, just Donald and his Twitter account. This election could be a Democratic landslide with Trump only winning the brightest red states.
Seems to me that the delegates have plenty of reason to dump Trump at the convention. He’s not even fundraising! This is insane.
Even if they do, whomever gets the nomination will be getting a very late start.
True, but they also won’t have been attacked by the other side yet.
It’s almost like replacing one of the fighters in a boxing match in the 9th round. Clinton’s bloodied, with historically awful disapproval ratings. Trump is worse, but what if we pulled him for someone with positive approval ratings with the general electorate?
You may be right.
On the other hand, he genuinely paid $35,000 for “Web Advertising” to “Draper Sterling”.
So there’s that.
The book Freakonomics had a chapter on the moneymaking playbook from KKK head David Duke. He had this list of tens of thousands of KKK symphatisants. He sold the list to whomever was buying. But he also sent begging letters, twice, to the people on the list. Supposedly because the Gub’ment had taken his house away to harass him. In reality, it was to finance his gambling addiction. Maybe Trump is playing a similar game on the side.
Where have you Republicans been hiding this paragon?
So is the idea of changing the rules of the convention specifically to ice out an elected nominee. Calling it a “conscience clause” doesn’t change the fact that the GOP will be signalling to their base that their votes are literally meaningless.
The only way that the GOP comes out of this in anything resembling one piece is to convince Trump that he doesn’t actually want to be President and to step down during the convention.
Then that someone will get savaged from both sides, as disgruntled Trumpistes (who are not exactly shy, retiring types) come out in force to attack him, the Clinton campaign adjusts with little effort and the Republican establishment expend all their efforts trying to hold their party together rather than presenting a unified front. Not so much a boxing match as a WWF fight with two against one, and the two armed with folding chairs.
Please, Mr Priebus, please don’t throw us into that briar patch…
It’s the same game he’s been playing his entire career - hire the lowest bidder to run everything, siphon as much money as possible into his personal accounts, and use the company to pay his personal expenses.
It’s pretty telling that the payroll he’s giving himself amounts to only about $2500 a week. You’d think someone as rich as he claims to be wouldn’t be interested in such a comparatively paltry payout.
Then you’ll lose the votes of millions of disgruntled Trump supporters who spent the last ten months talking about how the RNC is rigging the process against Trump and now saw the nomination stolen from someone with a clear majority of votes and well over the 1,237 delegate mark.
Better hope your new guy is REAL popular with everyone else. He’s gonna need it.
Og be praised.
But as mentioned Ivanka, and don’t forget Melania who we HAVE seen naked, could be quite popular at that…
You forgot the last step: stiff the contractor on what he owes them.
Even the sometimes infuriatingly cautious and even-handed NPR has an article today running down all the problems with Trump’s campaign. Some of the good bits:

His hard-won experience will serve him well, should he go to work for Littlefinger.
Kasich! He’s practically, almost, likeable!
I have to give a shout out to our friend adaher. These are trying times for Republicans, and he seems to be taking his licks with equanimity and a semblance of sanity.
