The GOP would have to be careful how they play the "too old" card against Clinton. They rely on older voters who wouldn't like to hear that a 70 year old shouldn't be trusted.

Its been said before in this thread that older voters may be familiar with the negative affects of aging.

Also, when it comes to the older GOP voting base I'm sure the "too old" card will work well. They will see their choice topically as between an enfeebled old crone "has-been" and a mature Republican man's man who gets stuff done no matter what his age is.

Its the swing voters that this image stuff will be important.

JEB! is having a SPECIAL meeting each with Cruz, Rubio and Kasich before the Florida primary.

Who will JEB! choose as his official endorsement?

What will they do to get the hallowed JEB! endorsement?

What words of wisdom will the ghostly JEB!, the defeated heir of the presidency, bestow upon the last embers of hope still flickering against the cold, steak-scented shadow kingdom of Trump?

I was wondering how the more reserved Harper would have reacted to the rise of bombastic Trump.

Than I remember how easy it was for Harper to coddle with Canada's own populist and more orange red version of Trump

If you haven't read Art of the Deal and continue to write endlessly about how clueless Trump and his campaign are, you're just another opinionated rube with no sense of things. Not that the book will instantly make you a supporter, but it illuminates a lot of his thought processes and a lot of the possible reasons for his campaign decisions become clear. Otherwise it's just flailing at caricatures that the media paints for you so they can please their advertisers easier. Or whatever

What will Ted say in his resignation speech? He can't really ambiguously say " I hope, and i know, the Republican's pick the RIGHT leader" like Jeb did but he will still be expected to say some vague truism about his hope for America and Republican party.

It's causing him to make firm declarations about his policy, that at the very least can be brought up on national television, so I wouldn't say it's effect is constrained to the bases.

Trump holds all policy positions at the same time. His supporters don't give a poo poo. All the care about is WALL, MAGA, and Muslim ban.

I don't think this sort of stuff will lose Trump supporters. An undecided voter who thinks a minimum wage increase is a good or bad idea might find Trump's own public flip flopping a less safe bet then the Clint.

BTW Trump never actually called for a minimum wage. What he said was something to the effect of "people need to make more money" but he's going to get there with something like "I'm going to bring in such good jobs people are gonna make higher than minimum wage."

Even though he never called for it we got a bunch of stories about "Trump open to raising minimum wage." This means that he has proof he's against it (his words) and proof he's for it (media headlines) all the while getting to complain about dishonest media.

(Edit: same thing happened about "raising taxes on the rich." He said he might raise the rates of his plan but was intentionally vague about it)

He also said during an interview today that his Muslim Ban was "just a suggestion". He's playing with language just more blatantly than most politicians do

I think he will wait it out as long as possible. He won't bend if Trump's campaign and polling is covered in a way that make's it look like Clinton is pulverizing- he will salivate like a disgusting vulture. If it's portrayed as a head to head race (99% sure it will) or even a Trump victory, he will certainty bend.

Cruz will be praying his mandibles off for the first scenario, and God will answer appropriately as he seems to do for all of Cruz's prayers.

In March, Senecal told The New York Times that he tried to retire from his position in 2009, but Trump told him, “Tony, to retire is to expire” and “I’ll see you next season.”

lol

I could see how this statement could be said non-offensively to a fellow self-appointed business tycoon or NY "mover-and-shaker" but sounds rather harsh to a butler?

"Continue to oversee my domestic needs or you'll literally become nothing. See you next Season"
