Donald Trump cancels Arizona rally, withdraws from campaign trail almost entirelyJesse Lehrich @JesseLehrich 16h16 hours ago
what is even happening. how do you cancel four events in one week?
Brainboxing*. Republican, alt-right operatives are holding Trump hostage and attempting to brainbox him to filter out all of his bigoted impulses and replace them with party regulars' own. You have to wonder, though, how will anyone be able to tell the difference?

(41,984 posts)3. He'll be in Everett WA next week, just north of Seattle. Why, oh why?
Yes, there are rednecks in Washington, but pigs will fly before he carries the state. What on EARTH is behind this spate of random, hastily arranged rallies in places he can't hope to win? Who is in charge of this thing? Is this really a wrestling match between the GOP and Trump and his new(er) campaign people or are they all just going "Okay, I'm out" and cashing the checks as he flings poo in all directions?
Never in all my overly-politically-involved years...

Trump cannot control his own behaviour. Trump controls the behaviour of everyone around him including whomever schedules the rallies and flies the plane.
