McConnell to drop Trump like a hot rock

hot rocks

dailycaller.com:

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly told colleagues they will drop GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump “like a hot rock.”

McConnell reassured Republican members of the upper chamber they could run negative ads against Trump if he becomes the nominee and it threatens their re-election, reports The New York Times.

Additionally, McConnell told Republican senators during the members’ weekly lunch that the potential of Trump losing to Hillary Clinton is a given and it is best to describe to voters that a Republican Senate is a necessary check to a Clinton presidency.

So can I safely assume that Mitch McConnell dislikes Donald Trump?  Trump will explode over this one.

At some point someone has to point out that the GOP is reaping what it has sown.   After taking votes from every extreme group with a chip on its shoulder over something, I think this is what you get.

Is Trump unstoppable?  Yes, but only by the Democrats.  You just can’t live that much on the outside and expect a majority.  It isn’t going to happen.

3 PWC police officers shot, one fatally

Officer Ashley Guidon

insidenova.com:

One of three Prince William County police officers shot responding to a domestic violence call Saturday night in Woodbridge has died. It was Officer Ashley Guindon’s first day on the job.

A woman who lives at the house in the 13000 block of Lashmere Court off Ridgefield Boulevard was also shot and killed during the incident, which began at 5:37 p.m. as a domestic shooting call. A suspect is in custody. The two other injured officers are being treated at an area trauma center.

Officer Guindon, 29, had formerly been a police officer and had just returned to law enforcement after taking some time off, Prince William Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart said Saturday night. She was sworn in yesterday.

“This is just absolutely tragic,” Stewart said. “It just reinforces how dangerous it is to be a police officer. There was a domestic dispute and those are the most dangerous calls you can go on as an officer.”

“This is just a very sad day in the county and for the community,” Stewart said.

On Facebook Friday, Prince William police posted a photo of Officer Guindon and another officer sworn in that day, wishing them “safety, success and long careers” with the police force.

Stewart said police believe the woman killed inside the home was  dead when officers arrived.

Neighbors said the family who lives there has a 10-year-old son who was home at the time. He was physically unharmed and being cared for at the police station late Saturday.

What a tragic, sickening flow of events.  A young woman is sworn in as a police officer and the next day she is killed answering a call.  I am sure Officer Guindon got up, ready to start a new job, with all the excitement any of us starting a new job would have.  I am sure Officer Guindon expected to come home this evening–except she won’t.  Two other officers started their day like any other day.  They too expected to return home at the end of the day.  They are hospitalized.
