Fascinating day in Washington. Props to Mark Kirk (who took back his endorsement of Trump), and boos to Paul Ryan (who did not). I’ll grant that Ryan is in a tougher position as Speaker, but he’s still dancing.
Please share widely!
Reality-based commentary on politics.

it is the definition of Bait and Switch. This isn’t a case with a lot of grey areas. Artfully, Trump’s supporters, leave the impression that if only Trump had used different wording, or a different excuse, the accusation of the judge’s bias would have some merit. It doesn’t.
My only gripe is that these Bait and Switch operations go on all the time, and the AG can’t seem to do anything to close them down.

I think Sec. Clinton’s line about Mr Trump being too thin skinned to be President is near perfect:
1. The Trump University thing underlines it, especially when you throw in his response to reporters. So everyone can see he’s thin skinned.
2. He won’t be able to let go of the charge, so he’ll keep bringing it up thereby reminding people how thin his skin is.
Notice, by the way, how much more effective this is than Rubio’s comment about the size of Trump’s hands.

1) The man has no real convictions toward other people. If you are for him, you are “great” and “beautiful”. If you are against him, you are a “loser” and a lot of other things you’ve heard him say.
2) If you are against him and appear to be a winner vs. him, he’ll go into attack mode, because he can’t stand to lose to someone who isn’t for him.

…can flip on a day to day basis. He has been known to attack someone one day and praise him the next and vice versa.
