Must We Be Subjected to More Newt?



We don't get to know if Newt will be Trump's VP pick yet.  Trump apparently announced he'd announce today, but found an out in the attack in Nice.  I suspect he's going for the reality TV/game show tension and waiting to announce at the convention.  Balloons and confetti.  WWF entertainment or something to go with it.


BTW...
Donald Trump's campaign requires volunteers to sign a contract that forbids them from criticizing the Republican presidential front-runner, his family members, any Trump businesses or products, or his campaign. The six-page contract, reviewed in full by the Daily Dot, theoretically lasts for the entirety of a volunteer's life.

[...]

The contract extends down to the lowest levels of the Trump campaign, including at call centers, where people spend hours making phone calls to convince other citizens to vote for Trump.

[...]

In addition to forbidding volunteers from disparaging Trump, the contract also includes a sentence that demands volunteers prevent their employees from criticizing Trump, thus making volunteers responsible for the free speech of others for an indeterminate amount of time.

[...]

Non-disparagement, non-disclosure, and non-compete agreements—which are all found in Trump's contract—are common in business contracts, but they apply to employees, not volunteers who receive no compensation for their time and work.

[...]

Legal experts say, however, that the contract's non-disparagement clause would likely never hold up in court.

Until Trump becomes president anyway.

  
CNN’s hiring of ex-Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has already proven to be a gigantic mess. Journalists—including, reportedly, those within CNN—have objected to the network paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to a man who has personally threatened people who are now his colleagues, but CNN has soldiered on anyway with the belief that Lewandowski provides unique insight into the Trump campaign.

That might be complicated, one would think, by the revelation that Lewandowski is still receiving severance payments from Trump himself.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
