I’m Afraid the Election’s Going to be Rigged

“We’re going to take care of the environment, we’re going to take care of safety”. And “It’s cooler to do it diagonally rather than straight”.

The debate schedule is set by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, which said in a statement that it “did not consult with any political parties or campaigns” when setting the dates. As Steve Benen points out, all this is dreadfully unfair to Republican leaders, who have long assumed that the pro-military posture was wholly owned by the GOP.

“This election cycle is a test”, Bradshaw said.

Veterans and families of slain United States soldiers said they will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member and demanded Mr Trump apologise to the Khans.

The father of the youngest victim of a 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people is hitting back at GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for disparaging the Colorado Springs fire marshal’s capping attendance at a rally there. “I won’t do it”.

Trump avoided any mention of the political brouhaha surrounding his feud with the Khans, a Muslim-American family whose soldier son died in battle in Iraq who had questioned Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from terrorist-plagued countries entering the U.S. Bradshaw called that remark “despicable”, saying it “made me sick to my stomach”.

“I urge all Americans who supported me to join me in not just congratulating him”, he continued, “but offering our next president our good will and earnest effort to find ways to come together to find the necessary compromises to bridge our differences and help restore our prosperity, defend our security in a unsafe world, and leave our children and grandchildren a stronger, better country than we inherited”. Vets and their family have more than earned the right to those views. The Cincinnati said he always has voted for Republicans for president, but will vote for Clinton this year.

It’s just the latest Trump-created conundrum for Republican senators who need support from Trump’s enthusiastic backers to win re-election, but risk alienating moderate Republicans, independents, minorities and women if they embrace the GOP nominee too closely.

“I’ve been considering the switch for months”.

Bradshaw served as Jeb Bush’s campaign manager when Bush ran unsuccessfully for Florida governor in the early 1990s and again four years later when he won.

Natalie Seitz, a parent of two Cumberland Valley graduates, said the school’s decision to host Trump undermined its emphasis on student conduct and against bullying.

“All I can tell you is the venue’s set up for 1,000 people, and I think there was just a big misunderstanding is what it was”, Assistant Columbus Fire Chief Jim Cannell told CNN after the event.

“I was most impressed with his stance of keeping jobs in America, specifically let the states battle it out – that’s fine, but going out to foreign countries and that, obviously that is an issue”, Kelly said. When her husband asked if she wanted to speak at the convention, she said she could not.

None of these forceful condemnations flatly state the obvious: Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency.

Nehlen has also attracted national attention beyond Trump.
