No.

What Happens When You Rescind an Invitation to Trump?

Looks like a lot of bad things happen.

What happens when you rescind an invitation to Donald Trump?

Well, my RedState email is suddenly maxed out due to a flood of very angry emails. I’ve been called queer, an n-word lover, Megyn Kelly has been referred to as the c-word.

My office phone line’s voicemail has also gotten maxed out with angry phone calls.

Last night, people were leaving voicemails in my hotel room — having somehow managed to navigate the hotel switch board. At 3 o’clock this morning I had to unplug the phones in my room.

My twitter feed is unusable. It’s just angry people, many of them very recently created accounts of people following few others and with little to no followers. But I can’t interact with much of anyone because of the timeline.

Greta Van Susteren exacerbated it earlier today with her tweet piling on me, which brought in her followers on top of Donald Trump’s. They could not really distinguish that I had apologized for things I had said and Trump just changed his story.

Facebook is much the same way.

RedState suffered a denial of service attack throughout the night and into this morning.

Yesterday, my wife and kids had to pack up and leave the hotel because the few angry people were very loud and vocal as my kids were present. The kids got upset and scared so were unable to see the Gathering or go to last night’s party. The party itself was fine. Only two people told me they disagreed and they characterized it as “understanding but disappointed.”

It’s the whirlwind of hate right now, but at least voicemail is maxed out and email is crashed.

Would I do it again? Absolutely. Rescinding my invitation to Donald Trump was the right thing to do.

This is only the beginning, things are going to get worse (better) from here on out. I don't know if there has ever been such a volatile rift in the Republican Party as the one happening here.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich suggested that man-made climate change may not be real and that action to fight it could kill jobs during an interview on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday.

"We don't want to destroy people's jobs based on some theory that's not proven," Kasich said when asked by host Chuck Todd if he believes that climate change is man made and that man should do something about it.

Kasich added that "man absolutely affects the environment" but said that he thinks that "as to the overall impact of that, I think that's a legitimate debate."

It's way too late to change that; the market is already glutted with degrees, to the point that virtually all professional jobs require one, even if there's no reason for them to.

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
People like Erick Erickson are the worst because they are cowards. In that debate, there were candidates who were willing to let women die rather than get access to medical care and only when a prominent pundit like Megyn Kelly gets attacked is the conservative media willing to curtail sexist rhetoric. This is a party that thrives on misogyny and a callous uncaring for the lives and liberty of women throughout America, and Donald Trump's comments against Megyn Kelly were not even the most pointed demonstration of that. If the Republican establishment and conservative media is going to cultivate an environment hostile to media, they have no right to take offense when it happens to be one of their own on the receiving end.

Anecdotally: the glut of degrees doesn't just make it so that you "have to have one." It also devalues the entire process and posession of a college degree in the first place. This is esp. true in certain types of tech positions.

The Donald had a vodka. Trump vodka (labeled super premium, naturally) was introduced in 2006 to much fanfare. Under the slogan "Success Distilled," the liquor was touted as the "epitome of vodka" that would "demand the same respect and inspire the same awe as the international legacy and brand of Donald Trump himself." At the time, Trump predicted the T&T (Trump and Tonic) would become the most requested drink in America, surpassed only by the Trump Martini.

Yes, it came in gold bottles. Of course it did.

Hahaha I wonder how many times this bastard's done this to somebody else? It's delicious to watch the GOP riot and string up their own leaders. The civil war in the party has been brewing for decades, becoming more and more inevitable with each group of hateful loonies they've pandered to until, finally, it's all reached critical mass and the GOP are forced to rebuild themselves from the ashes. God help them if Trump runs independent. God help them if he doesn't.
