Trump raised the stakes in an interview in which he said he would set new conditions before coming to the aid of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies. His comments in The New York Times created a new, day-long controversy hours ahead of Trump’s acceptance speech as the Republican presidential nominee.
CLEVELAND-Roger Stone, longtime conservative ratfucker and Donald Trump confidant, wants to destroy Ted Cruz.
Political operative Roger Stone attends a rally on the first day of the Republican National Convention. As he tested the microphones, he ribbed the reporters looking on. “I love the media”. “If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is yes”, he said. When it became clear he was not building toward an endorsement, the cheers turned to boos.
The timing is aimed at shifting attention away from the end of Trump’s convention and generating excitement before the start of Clinton’s own convention next week in Philadelphia.
Panelist Steve Hayes disagreed with Krauthammer, saying that his fellow panelist is “not very often really, really wrong”, but he thinks Cruz’s gamble may pay off, noting that it isn’t mutually exclusive to oppose Trump both on principle and on personal grounds.
The snaps included smiling portraits of such GOP headliners as Newt and Cally Gingrich, Eric Trump and Governors Scott Walker and Rick Scott.

“I would probably use the same verbiage”, Spicer said.
That’s where a convention advertised as aimed at the “normalization” of Donald Trump has left Republicans.
The episode has made it harder for Trump’s vice presidential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a favourite of conservatives who have decidedly mixed feelings about Trump, to make much of a splash.
Although he’s already taken to the stage at the RNC, Thursday night’s speech is the show-stopper.
“It is true that the United States overall will suffer under a Trump presidency from a foreign policy perspective. This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: death, destruction, terrorism and weakness”, Trump said. Harry Truman would be ashamed, ” Clinton adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement.
Brock said the source was not planted by Correct the Record in the Trump campaign, and he said his group “took a little time” to verify that the speech was legitimate. But that goal seemed guaranteed to go unfulfilled following Cruz’s stubborn defiance on the convention stage. “The standard that I apply is, which candidate do I trust to defend the Constitution?” said Cruz.
