It´s true, those attacks just backfire. Create sympathy for the one being attacked, especially for a teflon guy like Trump.
Trump supporters, much like religious people, are blinded by their delusion |

And this fellow has a plausible reason why: How the GOP stupidly enabled a Donald Trump 'comeback'
Remember when Donald Trump was losing?
If you blinked, you might have missed it.
It started during last Thursday's debate, continued through the muddled results of Saturday's caucuses and primaries, and lasted until, oh, around the time that news outlets began calling Mississippi for Trump a few minutes after the polls closed in the state on Tuesday night.
Now that Trump's march to the nomination appears to be back on track with decisive victories in Michigan, Mississippi, and Hawaii, it's worth pausing for a moment to assess just what went wrong with the #NeverTrump movement. Why has it done so little to alter the shape of the race? How has Trump managed to stay on top through the unrelenting critical coverage of the past week?
A good part of the answer lies in the distinctive defects of the messengers. In just about every case, those leading the charge against Trump lack the credibility to make the kill.... http://www.theweek.com/articles/611489/how-gop-stupidly-enabled-donald-trump-comebacktl;dr: the most prominent Republican figures leading the charge against Donald Trump are easy to describe as compromised in one way or another. Thus, because of their pasts, they end up playing into Mr. Trump's hands. |

As Trump himself put it; it´s not for everyone to be a scumbag...I guess he used a more polite word but the meaning is the same. |

Mark Zuckerberg, Tech Leaders Urge Supreme Court to Open U.S. Labor Market To Illegals
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and a coalition of tech and business leaders are joining the administration’s call for the Supreme Court to “unfreeze” President Barack Obama’s 2014 executive-amnesty programs.In an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court and released Tuesday by FWD.us, a Zuckerberg-founded immigration advocacy group, more than 60 tech business leaders say that Obama’s executive amnesty programs are essential to a stable national workforce. “By clarifying its enforcement priorities and giving certain low-priority undocumented immigrants the opportunity to obtain temporary work authorization, the federal government can help stabilize labor supplies in these, and many other, industries, thereby reducing labor shortages and spurring economic growth,” the brief reads in part. The Supreme Court is slated to hear oral arguments on Obama’s 2014 executive amnesty programs — which would provide pseudo-legal status and work permits to millions of illegal immigrants — next month. Texas and 25 additional states have challenged the executive amnesty in court and have so far been successful in preventing the programs from moving forward in lower courts. Democrats in Congress also filed an amicus brief on behalf of the administration’s actions on Tuesday. Republicans and the states challenging the administration’s actions have argued that the executive amnesty programs represent an unconstitutional overreach of executive power that burdens states with excess expenses. House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) announced last week that the House will soon vote on whether the House will fill an amicus brief in opposition to the programs. “The House will vote on whether to file an amicus brief in Supreme Court opposing the president’s executive amnesty,” Ryan told reporters. “This is a very extraordinary step. In fact, it has never been done before.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/09/mark-zuckerberg-tech-leaders-urge-supreme-court-to-open-u-s-labor-market-to-illegals/---------------------------------------------- Globalists in action, against the US. VOTE TRUMP! |

Well, this sounds freakin scary...Bill Still clip: ------------------------------------------------------ Published on Mar 8, 2016 A supporter of Marco Rubio, sent out the following tweet last Thursday: [insert tweet] “Let me explain something. If having a riot on the convention floor in Cleveland prevents Trump from the nomination, pass me the fire bomb.” Hollow threat? Unfortunately, probably not! Felony, probably yes. Today a Black Lives Matter - organizer -- named Ashley Yates – posted a chilling diagram entitled: “Resist: Necessary Clothing and Accessories” in both English and Arabic. [insert] The implication is plain. The BLM folks plan on joining forces with existing jihadists in the U.S. and Canada to attack the convention. Their purpose is to try to knock out their primary adversary among the presidential candidates – Donald Trump. They would like nothing better than to recreate the same riot scene outside the 1972 Democratic convention in Chicago – only worse. Listed as Necessary Clothing and Equipment is a lid of a pot: “You can use as a shield when the State Security beats you or shoots rubber bullets.” Or: “Spray paint so that if the authorities attack us, we con spray paint the visors of their helmets and the windshields of the armored trucks, blocking their vision….” You may have noticed that the Black Lives Matter folk are sending increasing numbers of its disrupters to Trump rallies. Of course you aren’t seeing this at rallies of other candidates; and that – in itself - says something. I’m still reporting from Washington, good day. |

This is interesting and I had not heard about it before. I would guess that Trump has enough people from the republican party attacking him and doesn't want the democrats to pile on. I would love to have seen that debate because I want those two to win their parties nominations. |

I guess he would have to win a lot of the big states coming up. |

I hear that Carly Fiorina is "horrified" by Trump and is endorsing Ted Cruz. Maybe Trump isn't so bad if Fiorina doesn't like him.

Yeah yeah, it´s getting to be so that nobody likes Trump and everybody is horrified by him except the common man. Main Street always knows best. Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Fanfare for the Common Man (Aaron Copeland) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyJBNZ4i4Yc |

More from Bill Still Still Report #691 - Trump's Amazing News Conferencehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt0sirepPTg Donald Trump bragged about his wine, his water and his steaks during his “Super Tuesday 2” primary night news conference. Based on early ratings data from Nielsen, he can add another feather to his cap: his ratings. Trump’s presser dominated cable news coverage on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC during the 9 p.m. hour, and the ratings reflect that. All told, an average of 8.8 million viewers were watching one of those three channels during the 9 p.m. hour. Compare that to an average of 7.4 million people watching during the 8 p.m. hour and 7.3 million people watching during the 10 p.m. hour. Fox News added 700,000 viewers in the 9 p.m. hour (for a total of 4.24 million viewers) compared to 8 p.m. and lost more than 1 million viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. CNN added 500,000 viewers from 8 to 9 p.m. (2.97 million viewers) and lost more than 300,000 at 10 p.m. MSNBC gained more than 100,000 viewers in the 9 p.m. hour (1.65 million viewers) compared to 8 p.m., and lost 100,000 in the 10 p.m. hour. http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/03/donald-trump-appearance-tops-cable-news-220510 |
