It's just business.

I think my favorite part of the exchange was Trump threatening to start attacking him publicly and predicting that Flake would lose his election. Seemingly not knowing that Flake isn't up for re-election. I wonder if Trump even nows how many years a Senator serves or if he thinks they are all up for re-election at the same time.

Manque du respect: toujours.

Imagine donating money to the campaign of a guy who won't say if he'll serve, has called all donors out as corrupting influences, and says he's so rich he should probably just fund himself anyways.

I wish I could have been in the room to see the looks of shock on their faces when Trump shat all over them.

Probably a lot like the stupid looks on the faces of the media propagandists when he refuses to play their game or back down.

Media stooge:

* Thinks to self, we've got this SOB now *

"Mr. Trump, YOU said that you wanted a COMPLETE BAN on Muslims entering the United States. Many are SHOCKED and OFFENDED by your INSENSITIVTY. Why, even GOPers X, Y, and Z have CONDEMNED your statement. So, MR. TRUMP, would you like to CHANGE or MODIFY your position? HMMM????"

* Thinks to self, dance for me puppet. DANCE!!!*

Donald Trump:

*Adjusts microphone, leans down, and stares cooly at media stooge*

"NO"

*Thinks to himself, gently caress you bitch*

Media Stooge:

*Awkward silence, stupid stunned look on her face*

quote:

The literati sent out their minions to do their bidding. Washington cannot tolerate threats from outsiders who might disrupt their comfortable world. The firefight started when the cowardly sensed weakness. They fired timidly at first, then the sheep not wanting to be dropped from the establishment’s cocktail party invite list unloaded their entire clip, firing without taking aim their distortions and falsehoods. Now they are left exposed by their bylines and handles. But surely they had killed him off. This is the way it always worked. A lesser person could not have survived the first few minutes of the onslaught. But out of the billowing smoke and dust of tweets and trivia emerged Gingrich Trump, once again ready to lead those who won’t be intimated by the political elite and are ready to take on the challenges America faces.

Hey crazy person, turns out the Republican federal legislature works with the Republican Presidential candidate. You know, traditionally.

Any of the betting markets have action you can take on Trump just quitting at some point? I mean, it has to be north of 10% for him to do that before the convention even.

Does anyone have a link to that site that shows all of the states on a nice chart ranked from strong Dem to strong Rep with total electoral votes based on current polling and you can see where they meet in the middle how much one side needs to win to get 270? It was posted a few days ago but had out of date polling if I remember correctly.

The 25th amendment's first clause just covers resignation, removal, and death, however under the fourth clause the VP and a majority of the cabinet can write a letter to Congress saying, "yo, the President isn't able to do his job" at which point the VP becomes Acting President.

This would have to happen after Congress certifies the results of the election.
