What Donald Trump is doing on the campaign trail



.............. Trump promised that he would and also repeatedly urged them to exit the meeting and tell the media outside that everything was perfect inside the Republican Party.

“It would great if you could say we had an unbelievable meeting. ‘Trump loves us. We love Trump.’ It’s going to be so good. Okay?” Trump said, according to a detailed account from a person who attended the meeting. “Honestly, if we could say it is great, we have a unified party, I’ll tell you what, you are going to see a difference immediately. That’s what I’m going to say.”

Trump told the Republican lawmakers he loved them all and that they agreed on 99 percent of the issues. Trump said he assured House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) that he would never let him down. He then repeated his call for the members of Congress to praise him and project unity, even if they still had lingering reservations about him as their candidate.

“If when we leave we could just go out and say, ‘We love Trump, he’s going to be great.’ I love you, we’re doing great. As a team, we can’t be beaten,” Trump said. “Say great things, because anything you say that’s even a little — well you know, they magnify it. Just say it’s great. You gotta say great things. Any little negativity that you have, they are going to blow it up twentyfold. You’ve got to be positive.”..................

1. I really doubt they will do this.

On the same day he said he wouldn't let them down, he hints at having his own daughter be the VP pick and he suggests he might not actually serve as president, if elected.

3. Like his goofy hat, donny does say goofy

[no_hypocrisy]

2. The Dale Carnegie approach to winning elections . . . . . .

[Ilsa]

4. He sounds like he's running for president of the third grade. NT

[Cosmocat]

6. He is trying to stay one con ahead of the game

has been since he secured the nomination.

Been writing checks he can't cash one after another to the republican party.

I am going to raise a LOT of money for the RNC to get that one brief moment of solidarity at first (them being the half witted, greedy ass chumps they are took it hook, line and sinker).

That quickly was shown to be completely false, then everyone saw his stunningly horrible fund raising for his own campaign in May, and they made all these big promises about how much money he was going to raise in July ...

5. He has such a limited vocabulary. nt

7. Apparently Trump doesn't know how lobbying works

He forgot to bring bags of money

8. Trump is the sort of rich white man the GOP has figuratively fellated for decades.

Trump just wants to make them admit it out loud, and it no doubt rankles.

9. Bingo! Not one of those Republicans in Congress actually

has any respect for Trump. He's not one of them. He's an outsider. He doesn't make the kinds of deals they do. They distrust him, but fear him at the same time, since he has the power to destroy the entire party in 2016.

It's fun watching the GOOPers squirm, frankly.

[Orsino]

10. I dunno. Isn't he exactly who many of them want to be?

So they get to be in charge, I mean? Trump is the only sort of person that type respects.

But goddammit, there will be endless fun watching our Dems drive wedges between Trump and the wannabes.
