“And now the rest of the story,” as deceased radio host Paul Harvey Sr. would say.
In 2013, CEO Roger Ailes of Fox News dismissed one of his employees. Donald Trump, it’s been reported, intervened, and the person dismissed received severance pay. Under a gag order, nothing would be revealed regarding why the person was dismissed. I now know why Fox News hosts are all pro-Trump: They are afraid of being threatened.
I would rather see Ted Cruz appointed on the U.S. Supreme Court. He’s a real conservative. It would make deceased Justice Antonin Scalia happy.
Trump is a clown who can’t be taken seriously.
First, Fox televised a debate with Megyn Kelly of “The Kelly File.” She got Trump very upset. He refused to take part in one of the following debates. Something happened. Megyn went to Trump Tower to ask Trump’s forgiveness. Why? Did Roger Ailes ask her to do so?
Should Trump win the president nomination, Republicans will lose the U.S. Senate and Supreme Court, and he will weaken the U.S. Congress. “The Grand Old Party” will be wounded.
I’m grateful for the state of Maine Republican state convention delegates for choosing Ted Cruz.
