Quote : | "Gingrich suggested Trump’s move from campaigning to governing would be challenging: “How we make the transition from, you know, language for fourth graders to real policy, I don’t know.”
His comments came in a February speech in Washington to the Republican State Leadership Committee, months before he began angling to become Trump’s vice presidential choice.
Gingrich’s remarks, captured on a previously undisclosed recording of the speech reviewed by ProPublica, mixed admiration for Trump’s success in the primaries and skepticism about whether he could prevail in a general election.
“This is not a guy who’s shallow or simple, but he is a guy who knows an immense amount about marketing, which is why he talks at a fourth-grade level. He talks at the lowest level of any candidate in either party, not because he’s stupid,” Gingrich said told the crowd of executive-level political staffers and corporate sponsors. “He does it because he knows if you talk at a fourth-grade level everybody can understand you.”
In the February speech, Gingrich said he had no idea what kind of president Trump might be. “I do not believe anybody including Trump can tell you what a Trump presidency would be like,” Gingrich said." |

Looks like Hillary made a little bounceback in more recent polls.
It'll be interesting to see how trumps attempt to paint himself as the law and order candidate will play against the Louisiana shooting and Nice attack, and what Hillary will do to combat this.
There's plenty to attack trump on too that I haven't seen used yet (the McCain comments I expect to get a lot of play). 7/17/2016 3:09:47 PM |

CHRISTIE on TRUMP:"Donald called me & told me that he was going w/ Gov Pence & I told him, OK... just 1 of those steps along our friendship"
Democrats need to send someone to try and flip Christie, seems like he's ripe for being unbrainwashed
^ someone needs to tell the GOP that guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Funny how when it's kids or gays or moviegoers, it's not guns that are the danger, but when it's politicians, suddenly they need gun control. 7/18/2016 10:35:54 AM |

Shrike All American 9594 Posts user info edit post |
I'll admit, I was as wrong as anyone about Trump's potential to win the nomination. I never thought he had a chance, and actually thought someone like Walker or Bush would win which made really wrong. But the Never Trump movement failed because actual GOP insiders also didn't take him seriously as a nominee, never coalesced around a viable challengers, and essentially watched along in horror with the rest of us as he rolled through the primaries.

Seems weird a candidate that most people voted against gets the nomination without any allowance of questioning.
If this were a multiple vote situation trump probably wouldn't win I'd bet, this is all the never trump delegates want. This would be a very democratic way to pick a nominee.
When the guy that wrote trumps own book that he defines himself with doesn't want trump, you have to know something is wrong.
I don't see how Reince and Ryan can think of how history will view them and be proud of themselves.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around how an organization run by people who have been in politics their whole life, who has well educated leadership, can manage to assemble so many cranks and crackpots to speak for them.
Surely they must realize they're doing something wrong when they have to scrape the bottom to find speakers? This isn't leadership. 7/18/2016 9:46:17 PM |
