Republican Rick Wilson slams Trump

wow - he really lashes out at Trump.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/05/15/president-trump-just-can-t-help-himself?source=email&via=desktop

some choice excerpts

President Donald Trump can’t stop sticking his head in the noose. The last 10 days in Washington have been a singularity of Trump’s reckless, dangerous, lead-paint-and-cheap-vodka brain-damage style of governance. As he flailed from crisis to crisis, nothing said “You’ll be tired of all the winning” like a series of self-inflicted wounds to his political, legal, and presidential fate.



As if we hadn’t had enough lunacy in the last 10 days, Trump looked at America and said, “Hey… hold my beer. Watch this.” In his very cozy Oval Office meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Both men are so steeped in Russian intelligence circles they might as well have “spy” tattooed on their foreheads. As one of the smartest political observers I know said, “It’s ONLY MONDAY.”

I was on a conference call when I first read it and had to mute the phone because I started laughing out loud for real.

when he's on a panel.

I'll go back to disliking him when things normalize and shifts his tongue in support of really awful policies.

Unfortunately, it is hard to forget about these -

In 2002, he crafted an ad against former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland that included images of Osama bin Laden to suggest he was undermining the war on terror. And when then-Sen. Barack Obama first ran for president in 2008, Wilson organized a television campaign about his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
