Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake delivered a brutal condemnation of Donald Trump's presidential campaign on Tuesday, saying the party's nominee neither can, nor should, win the election. At a town hall event at the Tempe campus of insurance carrier Allstate, Flake slammed Trump's policies and tone, and has "little faith at this point that he will change," Politico reports. "One, I don’t think he can win if he continues to run this kind of campaign," Flake said. "And two, I don’t think he should win as he continues to campaign as he is, taking the kinds of positions he’s taking and the language he’s using."

"It's just rhetoric but it's still annoying," Ann Coulter told The Hill Wednesday night. "I think he panicked and he had to say [it] ... I don't think he is softening [about immigration]. I mean the big thing is the wall." Coulter, a hardline opponent of illegal immigration and one of Trump's most prominent media backers, was speaking to The Hill at a party to launch her new book, "In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!" In the book, Coulter writes that "there's nothing Trump can do that won't be forgiven. Except change his immigration policies." But now that Trump is toying with doing just that, Coulter is placed in the awkward position of having to defend a man who is no longer drawing such a hard line on immigration

UPDATE:

Conservative author Ann Coulter is such a fervent supporter of Donald Trump that she wrote a book, released this week, called "In Trump We Trust." In the book, she wrote that there was only one thing the Republican nominee could do that would be unforgivable. And he already did it this week.

"There's nothing Trump can do that won't be forgiven," Coulter wrote. "Except change his immigration policies." Over the past several days, Trump has moved to significantly moderate his hard-line immigration policies.

A Russian-born, mafia-linked businessman whose ties to both Donald Trump and loyalists of Russian President Vladimir Putin have sparked scrutiny, visited Trump Tower last month for undisclosed business, he told POLITICO. The businessman, Felix Sater, also donated the maximum allowable contribution to Trump’s presidential campaign, according to the campaign’s most recent FEC filing.

Sater’s business relationship with Trump has been the subject of sworn testimony by both men and has come under scrutiny because of Sater’s past associations and the Trump campaign’s unusual stances on Russia. Sater was convicted for stabbing a man in a bar fight in the early '90s, and pleaded guilty to racketeering in 1998 for his role in a mob-orchestrated stock fraud, according to The Washington Post. His racketeering sentence was reduced for cooperating with American intelligence officials on undisclosed matters related to national security.

Addressing an adoring crowd in Texas this week, Donald Trump boasted about his perceptions of the latest polling data. “I don’t know if you’ve seen what’s happening,” the Republican said, “but over the last three weeks, the polls with African American folks and Spanish-speaking folks, the Hispanics, Latinos, have gone way up. Way up. They’ve gone way up.”

And while that may sound like great news for the GOP candidate’s supporters, there’s a small problem with Trump’s claim: there’s literally no evidence of it being true. In fact, actual data points in the opposite direction, and it seems Trump just made up these poll results out of whole cloth.

Ben Carson, the former presidential candidate and adviser to Donald Trump, wants the GOP nominee to stop calling his opponent a racist. “I don’t generally get into the name-calling thing,” Carson said in a phone interview with The Daily Beast on Friday morning. “I kind of left that behind in the third grade. I certainly don’t encourage it because the issues that we’re facing are incredibly important—for us and for the future generations.”

Somehow the polls are still almost always right.

No matter who is president or what the health care policy would be, everyone would be paying more today than they paid "years ago", no matter what, just as with everything else in the world that goes up in price.

I think it's a coincidence.

Plus it's obvious you probably aren't paying health care premiums, have a family of your own or legitimate employment or you would see the world not exactly as I do, but along the same lines. What? Living with your parents playing video games? Watching porn and dreaming of a meaningful relationship with a human being of the opposite sex? Tell me if I am close.

Mark Cuban tweeted on Monday to declare that Donald Trump's "ignorance" could lead the US into "World War III."

"There is nothing more important than this election right now," Cuban posted. "Trump's ignorance of the world could get us into a world war."

Funny thing, with Obama gas prices went down, yet my Healthcare premiums have almost tripled since 2009. Coincidence? I think not.

When Reagan, Dole and McCain ran their campaigns, the Left was all too quick to mock their age. Well, guess what? She's the same age now as they were then. What's good for the Right is good for the Left.
