Trump's back in control of his Twitter feed
There was some talk that someone took over Trump's Twitter feed because the language structure had changed. That maybe so but he is back in charge. Of his twelve tweets today three are about the ABC poll that shows him behind 12 points. This really seems to have shook him.

Clinton regains double-digit lead over Trump: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton regained a double-digit lead over Republican rival Donald Trump this week, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday.
The June 20-24 poll showed that 46.6 percent of likely American voters supported Clinton while 33.3 percent supported Trump. Another 20.1 percent said they would support neither candidate.

So the ABC poll that shows a double digit lead for Clinton is bad but as he has said another poll showing a similar double digit lead is good.
Moves are under way to take back his Twitter feed. /s

Free Speech Paragon doesn't want to allow Cruz and Kasich to speak at the GOP convention unless they endorse him. And letting his inner thug speak: "My supporters are tremendously loyal to me. They would not stand for it."
Trump: Cruz, Kasich shouldn't speak at convention without endorsement
Donald Trump won't invite former rivals Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio to speak at the Republican National Convention without endorsements from both, he told The New York Times.
"If there's no endorsement, then I would not invite them to speak," Trump said.
Trump's comments come as his campaign and the Republican National Committee work to ensure next month's convention goes as smoothly as possible.
There have been rumblings that displeased delegates will stage a revolt to try to oust the presumptive Republican nominee, but RNC leaders are threatening to withhold speaking slots and warning that attempting to undermine Trump violates party rules, The Times reported.
Trump told the Times his opponents will fail in derailing his nomination.
"You mean to tell me we're going to get the largest vote in his history of the Republican primaries and now the same people that either didn't run or get beaten in a landslide are going to try and back-end?" Trump said.
"My supporters are tremendously loyal to me. They would not stand for it."
Under party rules, Trump cannot deny Cruz a speaking opportunity. Because Cruz won a majority of delegates in at least eight states, he will likely have his name entered into nomination, guaranteeing him a speaking spot.
At a rally earlier this month, Trump said he would rather have athletes speak at the convention instead of politicians, seeming to take issue with speeches that don't center on the nominee.
"What I'm thinking about doing for the convention is rather [than] these politicians, you know — they're gonna get up and speak and speak and speak," Trump said at a rally in Richmond, Va. "You remember last time with [Mitt] Romney, all these politicians got up and they kept speaking and they didn't mention Romney's name. They spoke — one guy spoke for like 45 minutes. He never mentioned Romney's name."
"Well we're going to do it a little differently, if it's OK."

The campaign to fight Trump at the convention that Trump claims doesn't exist yet is run by Jeb Bush is now working on hiring staff as they prepare to take on Trump at the convention.
Dump Trump Movement Planning for Convention Floor Fight
The grassroots movement aimed at ousting Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention is planning for a convention floor fight, hiring staff, establishing a command center in Cleveland and rolling out ads in key states over the next week.
Organizers of the effort held their second weekly conference call Sunday night.
Former Bogota, New Jersey, Mayor Steve Lonegan, a Ted Cruz supporter and spokesman for a super PAC backing the effort, said he plans to hire East, West and Central regional field directors to begin building a "comprehensive list of every single delegate" to get to know their interests and issues.
The group is also planning to hire a full-time executive director, because the current staff is working on a volunteer basis, Lonegan said. An advance team is heading to Cleveland this week to build a command center outside the convention center.
Lonegan said the "most critical" step is airing ads for delegates who are "under duress" from state party officials or others for speaking out against Trump or in support of a change to the convention rules.

The group launched a small radio ad buy this past week targeting Iowa Rules Committee member Steve Scheffler, who Lonegan said had been "rather heavy-handed" in trying to persuade delegates to oppose a rules change.
While the group is focused first on trying to change the convention rules to allow delegates to vote their consciences, it's also looking to educate delegates on an interpretation of the rules that argues that delegates aren't bound to vote for any candidate to begin with.
