After all, he also fired Ailes.

Plus, any NY paper not reporting this stuff (not the nudes, but the behavioral crap) would be laughed at.

(42,770 posts)odd to me that he is going so far with Trump trashing. Very odd indeed. Some people think the original photos of last week were a Trump ploy to take the heat off the Kahn fiasco. Yes, throw his wife under bus.

(42,770 posts)next to defect. Still think something's fishy - like how is the NYP able to dig up these pics?
Also, people are naive - Trump purposely is holding back on Paul Ryan and McCain endorsements for one reason only. To change the subject on Kahns.
And guess what, MSM, it worked. Trump duped you all.

(42,770 posts)question anything from that point forward. Wonder why he isn't trashing Newt and Christie yet. What a small and vindictive man.

Holy moly but this speech is nuts. Not that that's novel, but still, his consistency is striking.

Hmmmm. Maybe Trump will drop out and somehow Pence will rise to nominee - so he's letting him do his thing? Although, sure that is not in the rules, although I did hear someone hypothesize about that.

(114,904 posts)It's this really complex process if Trump's out.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)According to guidelines on the Republican Party's website, the process for re-nominating a candidate could only happen in the event of the nominee's "death" or "declination." In other words, the party can only act if the nominee leaves.
If the nominee drops out, the 168 members of the RNC may reconvene and would have the power of all their respective states' votes "totaling the number of delegates that they were entitled to at the convention," former RNC spokesman and political commentator Douglas Heye told The News. In other words, in lieu of reconvening all 2,472 delegates for another GOP spectacle, the committee members would vote by proxy.

(42,770 posts)RNC has zero leverage, right? Unless Trump really truly didn't want to be prez, like lots of people think....what could get him to drop out??

So, the repukes had better have someone waiting in the wings, huh.
