When is the dealmaking going to start for conservatives? In "The Art of the Deal," we're pretty sure that Donald Trump didn't suggest "scream at the other person and call them a traitor until they agree to your terms." Yelling doesn't help. Yes, a plurality of Republican voters has said they want Trump to be the nominee, and he clearly will be. But for him to have even a chance of winning, people who don't yet support The Donald will have to find reasons to like him (or at least accept him). And they'll need reasons to believe that he no longer supports the political positions he's espoused and/or funded in the past. If you support Trump, then why not have faith that in the coming months his good qualities will become apparent to everyone? And why not turn down the volume on your attacks on other conservatives so we can hear what Mr. Trump has to say? http://hopenchangecartoons.blogspot.com/2016/05/trump-loeil.html

Trump Campaign Admits His Call for a Wall is Just a Suggestion By Erick Erickson \| May 13, 2016, 04:11pm [ The big things he's known for, that his supporters made him the presumptive nominee for, that he has his cultists chant at rallies .... it's all baloney ... er, suggestions. He's making his own cult members look stupid. ] Here is one of Donald Trump’s spokesmen, Barry Bennett, going on CNN to debate Donald Trump’s policies. Instead, what he says is that Donald Trump is making suggestions. The spokesman says that Trump’s proposals to ban muslims and to build a wall are just suggestions, not really proposals. In fact, the spokesman points out that Trump’s words don’t matter. He actually admits this. “This words matter stuff is ridiculous.” So Trump’s words don’t matter and his proposals are just suggestions. Hat tip to the Free Beacon for pointing out this absurdity. theresurgent.com
