So, if I understand this correctly given that Trump were the nominee, all the Libertarians and perhaps the Rich Lowry types, are going to line up and vote for a guaranteed 3rd party loser. None the less, it is only the votes for Trump that will constitute votes for Hillary? On a different issue, I refuse to believe that all women will vote for Hillary, many cannot stand her.

But I agree with most of your post. I wasn't saying Lewandowski could not have handled things much much better. I would say he should be fired if proof emerges which shows his hand on her arm. Not because that is such an earthshaking trespass, but because that means he has lied publicly about the incident. Embellishing the situation on the part of Fields is just as dishonest. I saw the tape, Hannity for example claims to have watched it a hundred times and could not detect the incident. When somebody gets jerked so hard they barely manage to avoid hitting the deck, that would be somewhat discernible in his mind. So again, where is it that you've gotten this clear evidence from again? My leaning, is that he may have indeed touched her arm, but if there is clear evidence I have not heard of it.

The whole thing seemed out of character. I would have thought that Fields was asking campaign friendly questions and I didn't get why things went down as they did. Maybe she had an ax to grind and went off the reservation a little, who knows? And maybe Trump really likes Lewandowski, and when Trump asked him what happened Lewandowski lied to him too. Trump was in the lead and could not see what was going on behind him, all of which has served at bare minimum to put him in a very bad spot. I think at first it was just of case of Trump resisting when outsiders try to tell him how to run his own organization. So, when and if he sees that Lewandowski is guilty, I could see how Trump's admiration for him would do a nose dive.

If Trump is the nominee, he will almost certainly lose in November. Trump followers can ignore the poll results that Trump dislikes, but Trump has run a sleazy, negative campaign and alienated millions of Republican voters, especially women voters. More than 70 percent of all American women have a negative opinion of Trump. That is not a statistic that will magically disappear.

As for Fields, what difference does it makes whether she was asking Trump tough questions or not? Do tough questions warrant manhandling her to separate her from Trump? The video makes it very clear that Lewandowski stopped her forward advance. She did not just voluntarily stop walking forward. She was stopped. I think that even Trump still denies that Lewandowski grabbed Fields' arm. Trump has been arguing that Fields did not scream, so that proves Lewandowski did not hurt her.

Video, audio, a bruised forearm, and an eyewitness that corroborated Fields' story and yet you are quoting Sean Hannity, who has become a joke because of his biased Trump coverage to defend Lewandowski.
