Trump to Deny Reality and Blame others

After Another Week of Setbacks, Trump Looks to Change the Story Line NYT

And apparently the GOP will let him.

Even though Trump's sister says he can not be trusted.

David Brooks said something very interesting the other day. He noted that this will be a very different convention when Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, President Bush, Colin Powell, etc and other life long Republican Leaders are not invited and would not come if they were.

And apparently few are in the know abut what is coming...  Definitely a small tent party lately.

It will be interesting to see if all this lying, cozying up with whackos, deflecting blame to others, etc has consequences in November?

And I am curious what the FAR RIGHT FOX loving crowd would take as the lesson if they lose the Presidency, House and Senate? 

Would they accept that moderation, truth, science, transparency, etc was required to win elections?

Or will they double down on the crazy stuff?  Unfortunately this is probably the one...

What disturbs me a lot is that Republicans won't have a platform. Platforms exist, not really because anyone reads them or follows them but because they are a statement that the party is something other, something more than the individual they nominate for president. Win or lose, the platform is a statement that the party has an identity for the next four years, particularly if they lose. Platforms aee a rejection of the Fuhrer principle. By refusing to provide the American people with a platform, Republicans are saying that what we are nothing more than followers of Donald Trump. We stand for whatever he tells us to stand for. If Donald Trump were the wisest and most capable individual in the history of the world, that would be a problem for me. That Republicans have chosen Donald Trump to be the man to whom they want to bestow mindless obedience is really amazing.

Definitely red meat for his base...

And no mention of managing and reducing the national debt...


The GOP has become the party of national debt, protectionism, brain washing, etc... So sad...
