JENNIFER RUBIN EXPLAINS HOW THE GOP DIED THIS WEEKEND.

++Oddly she said it was because of the birther issue. She blasts Kellyanne Conway for her statements that Mark Shand and Clinton aides started it. She wonders then why did Trump spend 5 years on this and never apologize. Then he blames his opponent for birtherism.

++She said Rinse Penis got it all upside down with the demands that Kasich, Jeb, and Ted Cruz have to endorse Trump, even though he is a known racist. She says Trump attacking Gates shows he isn't ready for prime time. Kasich's strategist said that he's not going to take anything from the Kenosha operative.

++Rubin was trying to get into the territory that if you have principles then there is no need to pull this loyalty test on Republicans.

++Admittedly her actions are rearguard but today's fund-raising e-mails from democrats are hysterical and for the first time I find them deliberately misleading. They portray a huge Trump surge as if Hillary is dwindling off the map. If you want to suppress your own base, don't count me in.

++Chris Christie knew all the time about Bridgegate while it was going on, according to prosecutors. 

++Leaks from the John Doe prop in Wisconsin showed that the Republican party wondered how they could spin rigging the vote.

++Hillary Clinton gave her millennial talk. It was OK but reminded me of a mother saying its better if we all stay together. BUT an NBC story on concerns about the millennials is off the mark. Hillary is not losing to Trump among the milllennials. Not at all. The problem is she is not blowing him out because of Third Parties. She needs to get more millennials backing her. But it is reason fro gloom and doom because this is the season she can appeal to them.

++The bomber who planted the device across from Josh Marshall's apartment in Manhattan was wounded and captured in Jersey City.

++The attack sparked the usual right-wing e-mails to me about the NRA,Obama's America and failed anti-terrorist policies. The attacks through the rail station and subways failed. Several were injured during the bomb attacked in Chelsea.  No One died. 

++Terrorism only works if it terrorizes. So we know it terrorizes white conservative males. Trump deleted his attacks on Obama and Clinton for the bomb attacks. He did say "I predicted it". I predict the Cubs will win the World Series sometime.

++It is very doubtful that Trump pays any federal income taxes and that's what the hubbub is about. The Times this weekend publicized a story that he has used $675,000 tax breaks over the years and we saw Chris Christie give him millions off his casino bills. 

++Kos of the Dailykos has an excellent story on what I have always believed in the modern era. Hillary's whopping ad buys have basically got her 1 point from May. The adbuys really just keep television stations going and are a source of revenues.
