Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved?
I don't follow the grifter circuit, but I have zero clue who most of these people are. Is this the all-star extravaganza only TRUMP could bring us? gently caress, I'd rather watch the Up With People! alumni corps burn up a Legion post in Illinois.

All the quality metal these days are from Germany and Sweden, and Rob Halford is openly Gay, so, good luck I guess?

Trump likes Sarah because she stabbed Cruz in the back for him early on. His whole advisors circle tells him to keep her as far away as possible

Does Trump actually like Palin? Remember that kerfuffle earlier this year when she showed up unannounced at the Florida Orange Fair (or some crap like that) and the Trump camp quickly put out a press release that Governor Palin was ill and flying home... then she turned up randomly to give an unpublicised talk to an empty tent a few hours later.

Seemed like Trump wanted Palin to go away as quietly as possible. After she channelled Yosemite Sam in her endorsement speech even Trump must have realised that she's a wacko.

Both the list in the NYT story and the one released by the RNC are partial lists, subject to change.

My Dem friends are legit unsure as to,why its not a blowout right now. Like +20. They just don't understand the other half of America.

They are also questioning spending $100 million in Ads. Living in FL they see it nonstop. They tell me all the time it's pro Hillary commercials... Not anti Trump. H is trying to boost,her favorables and it's going the opposite direction. YIKES

All these polls that have Trump gaining in the margin are just Hillary falling while Trump stands still at 40-ish. Basically if you're a Trump supporter you have to hope that people stay exactly as mad about the emails thing as they are right now, and 40-40 or whatever represents the actual (record low) November turnout.

The RNC should boost Trump's popularity by winning over the 15% or so of Republicans that are still holding out. This should boost Trump into a slight lead in the overall polling! However, then comes the DNC and 3.5 more months for people to get over the emails.
