Maybe so. My own thought is that he's more likely to 'implode'.

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 15:51

Across The only problem with that is that there are so many players involved as well. Pence, Ivanka and her husband, etc etc.

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 15:52

If I was Jared Kushner, I'd be getting antsy right about now. If it comes down to him or Ivanka, Trump will choose Ivanka every time.

There's currently an attack of sorts started on Alex Jones.

Just sayin'.

Roussette · 18/04/2017 15:54

Endless tweets by DT re Osoff. He is clearly rattled.

He is saying everything imaginable against this guy apart from Osoff hating fluffy bunnies and his mother smelt of mothballs Grin

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 15:56

45 is in a No Win situation with that race - if the publicists play it right.

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 16:03

Reports (videos) of people going out and stealing Ossof's signs, to reduce his exposure to voters. Goodness, GOP is worried.

GingerIvy · 18/04/2017 16:05

Yep, they made a deal about Osoff living 1.5 miles out of the district he wants to represent. But... he moved there recently because his girlfriend is in medical school and he says he is proud to support her career, and they will be moving back into the district as soon as she completes her studies. He also has family that still lives there and he grew up there.

I can't say that really makes him look bad.

They actually had to point out that the one in the garish costume & makeup was on the left #Trumprussia pic.twitter.com/4i37qGNNpN

Had to laugh at this - the news pointing out that Trump was on the left, when the Easter Bunny was on the right. Grin

I'll admit I'm irritated that May triggered Article 50 and THEN called for a GE. This election is eating into our 2 years to negotiate with the EU.

BiglyBadgers · 18/04/2017 16:19

I love the idea of people stealing signs so Ossoff doesn't get exposure while at the same time Trump is giving him tons and tons of free publicity on Twitter. If i was Ossoff i would be cheering everytime time Trump tweets. Grin

He may try to 'save' Ivanka, but he'll throw the rest of them under the bus. He'd throw his own mother under the bus. If Pence is going to go down with Trump, his replacement will be carefully chosen from the GOP and Pence will resign before Trump, just like Ford was when Agnew resigned under investigation for (oh the irony) tax fraud.

I think any resignation will be phrased like Nixon's; 'for the good of the country' because 'he's lost the public's confidence' not because he was a 'crook'. And the pardon, like Nixon's, will be 'for any crimes he may have committed' so it won't be an actual admission of guilt.

As far as Alex Jones, I'm just has happy as a clam to see him on the hot seat and hope he goes the way of Morton Downey Jr.

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 16:32

Ivanka is 'him' so saving her is second nature. Everyone else is pretty expendable.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 18/04/2017 16:40

What's happening with Alex Jones?

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 16:43

He has a custody suit ongoing. I don't know the merits of the matter but he's currently trying to persuade the beaks that he's a sane and reasonable person - a 'suitable parent' in fact.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 18/04/2017 16:49

Ah, is this where he's trying to say his public persona is just that and actually nothing like the real him?

cozietoesie · 18/04/2017 16:51

Yes. He's just an 'acting persona'. (Although the conspiracies are real, he says.) Wink
