Let's Play This Trump Intervention Thing Out.....

The Repugs and Trumps family gangs up on him and tries to reason with him to change his ways.

The next time you see Trump he apologizes to Gold Star families; to Purple Heart veterans; to babies; etc.

Would you believe he really changed his ways and all is well again? Would the Repugs feel good about that?

I think it lasted all of a week before trump was at his repugnant self again.

Not many would believe it.

We all know the outcome. He'll still be the Donald that he touts himself out to be.

The Repugs then need to give up on this intervention idea and do something to take him out of his candidacy. They need to do something more drastic or they will just be wasting more time and digging themselves a bigger hole.

sit back and let a Hillary presidency come to be. Cede the election to her and hope that in four years the country will have forgotten the disaster that is trump.

They want those Supreme Court appointments and they are willing to sell their souls to get them.

He and his lemmings view that as a sign of weakness. He'll likely say one thing in private to Newt, Rinse, and the rest then do another thing in public... Like doubling down on the bombast and hyperbole.

And I don't feel one bit of sympathy toward them as they allowed to toothpaste to come out of the tube, so to speak.

Why does he not know it's not a good idea to say what he says? If a baby was crying, Obama probably would have gone over to the baby and sweet talked him - what politician would kick a baby out for crying? Politicians are supposed to be loving on babies. I guess Trump does not know this.

A had a narcissistic neighbor who could not stand to hear his baby cry, so every time the baby cried he made like he was dropping the baby to scare him and than bragged that he taught his baby not to cry.

They could arrest him because he committed treason or a felony, and loyal supporters would still vote for him. I get the impression that the stakes are very high for him because he can't get a loan will from traditional sources. He has to at least see this through so he can position himself financially for after the election.

I mean, you pretend for 15 minutes and all of a sudden everyone just goes, "Oh okay. Phew for a minute there I thought you were a badly damaged, raging, insecure narcissist! Glad to see I was wrong. Here are the nuke codes, Mr. President..."
