I would love to know what Katie Tur can't say on TV.

[madaboutharry]

Katie Tur (MSNBC) has spent the last year of her life following the Trump "campaign" and reporting almost daily. Last week she co-wrote an article that reported there actually is no Trump campaign. One can only imagine what she has witnessed that she can't report. It often seems that sometimes when she is on TV she can barely contain herself from blurting out stuff she can't say out loud.

1. She has had quite an interesting life for one so young. nt

[Wounded Bear]

2. To be fair...

she's not the only one reporting this one. There have been other commentators who have said the same thing. Trump is apparently a micro-manager type who, contrary to what he's said, can't delegate well and runs a skeleton crew.

[FarPoint]

8. I have had a constant, uneasiness about the GOP all along...

There will be a new GOP Candidate with the Convention..... probably Kasich.....

[Wounded Bear]

9. I don't actually worry much about that...

It seems too late in the process to make up the losses in swing voters and states IMHO. And Trump supporters? I don't see them getting on board with any 'establishment' candidate that comes out of a brokered, back room convention.

It may be wishful thinking on my part, but I'm thinking there is a generational mess the Repub party has pulled down upon themselves. After so many years of relying on fringe elements and sectors of the electorate that really don't have that much in common, things are splintering because they have never actually delivered on any of their promises to anybody not of the CEO/Investor class.

16. Kasich has been smug the entire primary season...

Convention is in Ohio where he is Governor... I am sensing the long play was rolled out last fall... Maybe and hopefully an an warranted bad feeling on my part...I just can't see GOP feeling the enthusiasm with Trump at their Convention....I hope I'm way off.....but I can the back a known failure candidate as their Candidate????

14. I don't see the Never Trump movement suddenly becoming so coordinated

that they can now do what they couldn't do for the last four months, and unite behind a single candidate. I don't think the GOP is ready to stage, in Cleveland, a primetime reenactment of the primaries.

3. How do you know

she can't report something? She's shown herself to be fearless.

[madaboutharry]

6. She can't report things if

she is told it is off the record.

[Fumesucker]

4. Is it still seven words?

[BootinUp]

5. She seems to be more amused and shocked this week, than prior.

[Stinky The Clown]

10. I think she's been bemused for quite that last little while.

In many reports of hers she seems on the verge of laughing. I think she's enjoying her front row seat to the shitshow.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. She seems to have a lot of self-confidence - remember Trump

slayed her at first and she kept on ticking. Like that about her.

But, what she is saying is more interesting - that he has no campaign

Why is he doing that...money? Doesn't want to spend it? Mark Cuban, who has known him a long time said that he's got about 150 mil in cash and has spent a third. And, is he so egotistical that he thinks he's the only brainiac - and he's gotten this far so he can save money and do it himself?

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Yes, I agree. I think money is THE issue for him.

All that braggadocio about self funding turns out to have been just everyday Trumpullshit. He doesn't want to part with anything. That plane costs a shitload to fly around in. and I really think Mark Cuban is right about him being relatively cash poor for a "billionaire". Now no one wants to give him money, the RNC is a little light on cash, and donors are staying away in droves. Which is amazing since all those right wing gazillionaires would throw TONS of cash to an actual serious politician running against Hillary.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. True dat. And ....

he missed his golden opportunity when he transitioned from primary candidate to general election candidate. He didn't pivot at that only time that it might have been ok with people And, when he could have achieved some degree of party unity and gotten the donor class on board.

Guess he kept Corey a month or so too long.

But bottom line, there is NO ONE to blame but Trump for throwing this away.

[lancer78]

13. I still

think he is a Clinton plant. Remember, it was Bill who told him to run.

[ReasonableToo]

17. Yup. Bill got in when Perot split GOP vote.

As we can see, Trump is sending people to Clinton. She's getting GOP endorsements. That says it all to me.

[Night Watchman]

11. Is Tur a Mooooooooslem Name?

[nyquil_man]

15. Well, she can't say "f***ing trainwreck," can she? nt
