VIDEO: Trump

Monday 29 July 2015 / Hour 2, Block A:  David M Drucker, Washington Examiner Senior Congressional correspondent, & John Fund, National Review Online, in re:  Predictable tragedy of the republican Party – when Mr Trump speaks. It depends on attracting a sizeable Latino vote in 2016; has two excellent candidates - Cruz and Rubio – and Jeb Bush, who speaks Spanish.  Univision ended contact with Trump, and today, NBC did, too.  The longer Trump is in the race and the more debates he may qualify for: he's prone to saying outrageous things; unless the others gang up against him, he'll trail them around like a ball and chain.  Note that NBC dumped Trump and keeps Al Sharpton.  Trump has spread a lot of cash around.  GOP needs to say "He does not speak for us; He may run in our primaries, but he as a Dem till 2009 and he's not ours." [John Fund just back from Greece.]  Tsipris made a TV address: "Remain calm."  His response to the Grexit crisis is to raise taxes. Syriza Party s a collection of multiple left parties.  What's disturbing is: "Stay calm; and, btw, from now on you can get €60 from your ATM." In future, from Denver to the federalist Society, "We no longer accept anyone who's not nailed down to principles." No more Court appointees who claim the federalist Society is some ugly stepchild.
