Either Bernie, Trump or a prank. (April fools day is tommorow).

Bernie is the anti-Paul.

If this is not a prank, I'm guessing he endorses Cruz with a backhanded compliment the way Graham did.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


How much leeway would hitting the 50% WTA trigger in New York give Trump? I'm starting to think that of the various important milestones people have mentioned, that might be the most doable. His polling there is looking pretty good and it might be one of the rare cases where Trump could improve it by campaigning and advertising there. In particular hitting Cruz on the New York Values attack might help turn out New York's critical spite demographic.

Has Trump done a big NYC rally yet? I feel like he could put together something really special on him home turf.

Trump's having a surprise, behind-closed-doors meeting with the RNC today.

Donald Trump Holds Surprise Meeting with RNC in D.C.

quote:

Donald Trump is meeting behind closed doors at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C. Thursday afternoon.

The agenda for the meeting is not yet known.

Trump was scheduled to be in the nation's capital to meet with his foreign policy team, but his appearance at the RNC came as a surprise.

Trump has had an often contentious relationship with the RNC, arguing that the Republican Party has failed to treat him "fairly."

This week, he said he feels he is no longer bound to the pledge he made to the party to support the GOP nominee.

"No, I don't anymore. No. We'll see who it is," he said when asked if he still promises to support whoever gets the nomination.

The meeting comes the day after Trump faced harsh criticism from both sides of the aisle for suggesting in an interview with MSNBC that he advocates "some form of punishment" for women who receive abortions.

After coming under fire from anti-abortion groups, Trump amended that position within hours, saying in a statement that "the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman."

Completely unsubstantiated rumors on Twitter are that they're talking about the logistics of a contested convention. I hope they remember to treat him fairly. :getin:

I bet they're talking about his (again) rescinded promise to support the eventual nominee, as that makes their donors turtle up.

I don't think Donald Trump cares about the logistics or rules gamesmanship in a contested convention. If anything I'd bet he still thinks that if he enters the convention with more delegates than any opponent, he automatically wins. And based on the way he's approached other stuff over the course of the primary, I bet if it was explained to him, he'd just decide later that if he wins more delegates than any opponent, he is guaranteed the Republican nomination.

Last summer/fall, when he was actively campaigning, Rand routinely posted photos of himself standing in various places or eating things as he traveled around the country, always with the same facial expression that was somewhere between a smile and a grimace

it was a weird unexplained thing and one day he just randomly stopped doing it

I agree with this guy, if the RNC isn't going to just say "gently caress you, all delegates are unbound" they probably won't do this either.
