The Oklahoman reports:
The former strategist for Bush41, Mary Matalin, has announced her switch to the Libertarian Party. Matalin played a very key role in the 1992 Bush reelection campaign, opposite of Bill Clinton's strategist, James Carville. Matalin and Carville married not long after the contest. She called out Trump for his "schoolboy antics". Matalin warns that women will broadly reject the childish image of Trump if he doesn't demonstrate more maturity. Anderson Cooper had confronted Trump to his face when Trump was on the CNN set for a town hall. "You're behaving like a five year old!", Cooper said. This was after Trump posted a "hot or not" comparison of Mrs. Cruz & Mrs. Trump, but using the worst photo of Heidi Cruz and the best modeling headshot of Melania Trump. Trump claimed; "They Started it!"; referring to a 3rd party PAC ad of Melania posing nude on the Trump private jet.
Despite his daily shaming of anyone who questions Donald Trump's fitness to lead, Sean Hannity has publicly declared that he left the Republican Party of New York years ago. Sean goes further... In 2013, Hannity announced that he has been a member of New York's Conservative Party. But he mulled aloud that Tea Party activists nationwide (like Ted Cruz) should consider forming a viable 3rd party. In an article published by the Daily Caller, he is quoted as an advocate for Tea Party ranks to hold strong for real solutions to fiscal responsibility, and not fall for half-measures.
The Rules Committee to the 2016 OKGOP State Convention met recently to adopt a special set of rules to govern the upcoming state convention on May 13th. These proposed rules will supercede the traditional 'Roberts Rules of Order'. Any matter not covered by these special rules will default to Roberts Rules of Order. Many county GOP conventions use the default set of Roberts Rules of Order and the Rules of the OKGOP. Of unique note is the recommendation to continue a straight 'up or down' vote on the State Executive Committee's endorsed slate of candidates for national convention at-large delegates(25) & alternates(25) -BEFORE- accepting nominations from the floor. If the endorsed slate receives a majority approval, then no one else may be nominated. The endorsed slate is then the official delegation for at-large slots. This procedure was also used in the controversial 2012 state GOP convention.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Governor Mary Fallin signed four criminal justice reform bills on Wednesday; related to proposals she outlined in her State of the State address at the start of this year’s legislative session. “These measures will preserve public safety while helping control prison costs and reduce incarceration rates,” said Fallin. “According to all measures, Oklahoma has some of the highest incarceration rates in the country. “Many of our inmates are non-violent offenders with drug abuse and alcohol problems who need treatment. This will pave the way for a wider use of drug courts and community sentencing as well as give judges and district attorneys more discretion in sentencing.” |
