Trump on Bringing Guns to GOP Convention: I Have not Seen the Petition

Score on for Tom Brown here, he's been on about the next step for the GOP as allowing firearms at the RNC convention.

Now there is indeed a petition for exactly that.

Again, this shows a law of US politics in 2016 as firm as any law of thermodynamics: you can never come up with a scenario too farfetched for the 2016 GOP. What is meant as satire will be reality soon enough.

I guess you have to give the GOP 'credit for consistency' here. For ages liberals have excoriated them for not being consistent and allowing guns at the convention.

"Republicans Want Guns In Schools But Not At Their National Convention"

"So it might come as some surprise that this year’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland will completely bans guns. The event will be held at the Quicken Loans Arena where “firearms and other weapons of any kind are strictly forbidden.” (Guns were banned at the 2012 Republican National Convention as well.)"

I wonder what Judd Legum, the TKP writer, has to say now. The GOP is being consistent now!

And this goes to something I have long believed: those obsessed with consistency are wrong. So often consistency is a stupid consistency.

Anyway, here's the cherry on top: Trump was on This Week with Stephanopolous this week and said he hasn't seen the petition. You know, he has to see the fine print. 

In other news: did Ted Cruz actually pay Carly Fiorina hush money over #CruzSexScandals? I don't know but  enquiring minds want to know. 

"Did 2016 Republican Presidential contender Ted Cruz pay Carly Fiorina’s campaign to keep her quiet about an affair? It’s unlikely, but Twitter speculation abounds."

"Chatter about the “scandal” stems entirely from a National Enquirer story that hit newsstands March 25, alleging Cruz had affairs with five women. The Enquirer ran pixelated headshots of five women that the tabloid claims had affairs with Cruz. One of the headshots appears to be of Carpenter, but there’s no evidence to back up the Enquirer’s report."

"A Ted Cruz-affiliated Super PAC, Keep the Promise I, donated $500,000 to rival Carly Fiorina’s presidential campaign in July 2015. The Washington Post noted that the donation was “unusual” at the time, but Twitter and the National Enquirer claim to have a key piece of context: Cruz was having an affair with Fiorina staffer Sarah Isgur Flores."

"The Enquirer claims that Cruz cheated on his wife with five different women over the course of his campaign. While the Enquirer pixelated the photos it ran with the story, Twitter sleuths posting at #CruzSexScandal have claimed to unravel a few of the mysteries."

This GOP primary is just Christmas every day and twice on Sundays.
