Paul Ryan feels that GOP delegates should not be bound by pledges to vote for Trump but by their conscience. GOP leadership very worried that they'll not only lose the Senate but Congress. Trump says he may go it alone. Stay tuned... Mods, why do these blank quote boxes show up & how can they be deleted? I've noticed that too, with Internet explorer.

Jacquie Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Yet another WTH? moment from the Trump campaign... Quote The house at 18 Crosby Lane in Londonderry, New Hampshire, a leafy community of nearly 25,000 people, has four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. It looks like a lovely place, with large windows looking out onto a broad lawn. And for some reason, the Trump campaign has paid $41,000 to people and businesses associated with this address over the last several months, according to the Federal Election Commission. The most eye-brow raising expense is four payments in April totaling $35,000 to a company called Draper/Sterling for "web advertising." The company bears a striking resemblance to Sterling Cooper Draper Price, the advertising agency in Mad Men. In the last 12 hours, the disclosure of this payment has led to at least one parody site. Draper/Sterling was established in March, according to a business filing with the New Hampshire Secretary of State. The director is one Jon Adkins, who is also listed as the owner of 18 Crosby Lane, according to property records. Adkins and 18 Crosby Lane show up again on the Trump campaign's latest FEC report, having received a payment of $3,000 on May 11 for "field consulting." On May 11, someone named Paul Holzer also received $3,000 from the Trump campaign for "field consulting." His address on the FEC report is listed as—you guessed it—18 Crosby Lane. (A records search for Holzer, however, lists an address in Virginia.) Holzer is a former Navy SEAL and current medical student at Dartmouth, according to an articleon the school's website. Holzer, the article says, founded a startup called Xeno Therapeutics "that in 2016 will conduct the first human clinical trial of the skin graft material he helped develop based on his combat experience." Jon Adkins is listed as a director of Xeno Therapeutics. According to Slate, the chief medical officer at Xeno Therapeutics is Paul Certulo, one of the physicians behind America's first penis transplant. But Holzer also has a history in politics. According to Think Progress, Holzer was somehow involved in Charlie Baker's 2014 campaign for governor of Massachusetts. And he was part of John Brunner's failed candidacy for governor of Missouri. The Huffington Post reports that a spokesman for Brunner said Holzer was just a "member of our temporary exploratory committee last summer." Think Progress goes on to note that Draper Sterling is mentioned in an FEC complaint against a super PAC called Patriots for America. In the complaint filed May 12, economics professor Aaron Hedland notes an unusual debt of $56,234 to Draper Sterling LLC for "business consulting." He described it as "mysterious" and "highly unusual." The founder of Patriots for America is someone named Adam McLain, who is, according to The Huffington Post, Holzer's brother. The phone number of Patriots for America, Think Progress reports, is a coffee shop in New Hampshire called Grace's Grantham Cafe. The company is registered to Jon Adkins. So what does all of this mean? Representatives from the Trump campaign did not respond to Esquire's email seeking comment, nor did we receive a response from Adkins or Holzer. (We'll update this post if they do.) Corey Lewandowski, Trump's campaign manager who was fired on Monday, is from New Hampshire, where he worked in local politics. "The [Trump] campaign was seeded with lots of people who were personally loyal to Corey and had ties to Corey," Fergus Cullen, a New Hampshire Republican who has butted heads with Lewandowski, told The Huffington Post. The Trump campaign said on Tuesday that it's conducting a forensic audit of all Lewandowski's spending for the campaign. Regardless of what it turns up, don't let this deep dive into 18 Crosby Lane distract from the other big news in Trump's FEC report—no, not that he has a paltry $1.3 million in cash compared with Hillary Clinton's more than $41 million or that his campaign has paid $6.3 million into Trump corporate products and services. It's that the campaign spent $208,000 for "Make America Great Again" hats, which is funny, until you realize it's actually not funny at all. http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/news/a46049/trump-campaign-new-hampshire-house/ Edited June 22, 2016 by Jacquie
johnzo Posted June 24, 2016 Report Posted June 24, 2016 Holy cow, Jacquie, that's like Coen Bros. movie stuff. A couple weeks ago I was talking with @kelownabomberfan about how my Muslim friends in Seattle told me they are frightened of Trump. Aziz Ansari (Parks & Rec, stand-up comic, etc) talks about this fear way better than I can: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/26/opinion/sunday/aziz-ansari-why-trump-makes-me-scared-for-my-family.html
Jacquie Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 This shows once again how absolutely clueless Trump is.
iso_55 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 So, he pisses off the EU. The man is a total jackass.

Scotland will most likely have another independence referendum because of Brexit.
kelownabomberfan Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 The same anti-establishment backlash that is driving Trump was behind the Brexit vote. You can call Trump a jack ass and say he is clueless all you want, but he's just a figurehead. The EU is a corrupt bunch of unelected hogs at the trough, who finally went too far with the latest migrant insanity. Trump should be poking those morons in the eye, they deserve it. The UN is next. pigseye and IC Khari 2

We've been suffering under global governance for far too long now and the lines are being drawn for the final battle for the remaining natural resources. Now is exactly the time for leaders who will stand up for the rights of their citizens and not more bureaucrats in Brussels telling us how they are going to divide it up for us.

iso_55 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 I'd have voted to leave as well for all the reasons this guy states. Is it true that the EU voted to get rid of Euro countries borders? Good for Britain then. Good luck being swallowed up Scotland.

No. The EU voted to ease travel restrictions between EU countries which some claim will lead to no country borders.
iso_55 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Still, I'd have voted to leave. My niece who is in her early 40's lives & works in London. Both her children were born in London & go to elementary school. I spoke with her on facebook & she is very upset with the vote.

Unlike Faux News- most news orgs try to separate op-ed from news reporting. Not saying she was wrong- just not the right forum for that. Also- libel. CNN might have been worried about a possible law suit if she continued on. Edited July 19, 2016 by wanna-b-fanboy
