Trump spox catches flak for bullet necklace: 'Next time I'll wear a fetus'
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Katrina Pierson, a spokeswoman for GOP front-runner Donald Trump's presidential campaign who has made headlines for her controversial statements in defense of Mr. Trump's policies, took to Twitter to respond to criticism of a necklace made of bullets she wore during a CNN interview Monday.

Hours after the interview was aired, Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, tweeted sarcastically that "surely @KatrinaPierson wore the bullet necklace on #CNN to bring attention to 90 Americans fatally shot daily #gunsense"

About an hour later, Ms. Pierson responded with her own tweet: "Maybe I'll wear a fetus next time & bring awareness to 50 million aborted people that will never ger (sic) to be on Twitter."
Game and set to Mr. Trump and his people. They're playing the game at a level that just confounds all the usual experts and elites...

#1  With Trump, he hands the media a shovel and encourages them to dig when they find themselves in a hole.

AND they keeping digging.

#2  It's so sad, you have to laugh.
Speaking bluntly is a thing in a world of PC sewage. I applaud it.

#5  Did it have more than 10 rounds on it? If not, what's the beef? It'd be legal in Caliphornia!

Rubio backs call for constitutional convention to balance budget, impose term limits
Constitutional Convention = Moar rules and laws for the elites to ignore or twist to their advantage.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, a top contender for the Republican presidential nomination, has come out in favor of the idea of a convention of states to amend the U.S. Constitution, adding a high-profile voice to an issue that has picked up renewed interest in some conservative circles.

Mr. Rubio said a convention, which would the first in the nation's history, was needed to rein in the power of Washington insiders and get the nation's finances in order.

"One of the things I'm going to do on my first day in office: I will announce that I am a supporter, and as president I will put the weight of the presidency behind a constitutional convention of the states so we can pass term limits on members of Congress and the Supreme Court and so we can pass a balanced budget amendment," Mr. Rubio said in Iowa.

In the past, Mr. Rubio has acknowledged the concerns of some critics who say such a call for a convention could go in unpredictable directions, opening up the possibility of far-reaching proposals to overhaul the Constitution.

#2  Constitutional Convention = Moar rules and laws for the elites to ignore or twist to their advantage.

Still takes 3/4th of the states to ratify anything. A lot of little states that have no good will for the coastie elites are not likely to rubber stamp any such amendments and more likely to pass things those oligarchs fear.
