After crushing Sen. Marco Rubio in his home state of Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump addressed supporters from his Mar-a-Lago estate to rebut recent allegations that his campaign manager assaulted a female reporter during a rally last week.

"There's nothing like it—lies, deceit, viciousness, disgusting reporters," Trump told the crowd in Palm Beach.

While Trump did not specifically call out Michelle Fields—the former Breitbart Newsreporter who filed a criminal complaint against Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, for allegedly grabbing her forcefully—the Republican front-runner did take a moment in his victory speech to commend Lewandowski and effectively brush aside Fields' accusations.

"Good job, Corey," Trump said. "Good job to our whole squad, right?"

In recent days, the real estate magnate has fired back at Fields, claiming she "made up" the attack, despite growing photo and video evidence of the assault.

Trump was also declared the winner in Illinois and North Carolina, but lost big in the winner-takes-all state of Ohio to Gov. John Kasich, who won his first primary tonight.

"We have to bring our party together," Trump said in Florida. "We have something happening that actually makes the Republican Party the biggest political story anywhere in the world.

Meanwhile TrumpET call of the Republican party as the biggest political party in the world IS SHIT:

Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is now the world's largest political organisation, or so his party claims. With 88 million registered members, the right-wing political party has at least 1.3 million more members than the Communist Party of China, which was established in 1921.

Collusion with Clinton and the media

A communication from late May laid out the pros and cons of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz accepting an invitation to CBS’s 'Face the Nation', and indicated that the DNC was plotting its moves based on what would be amenable to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

“Clinton campaign is a mess, they’re afraid of their own shadow and didn’t like that we engaged,” DNC communications director Luis Miranda wrote. “But they’ll be unhappy regardless, so better to get out there and do some strong pivots and land good punches on Trump. They can’t tell us NOT to do TV right now, we shouldn’t pull ourselves out until they actually do.”

“It’s clear that Bernie messed up and that we’re on the right side of history,” Miranda wrote in another bullet point, referring to the Nevada convention.

“Let's take this offline,” Wasserman Schultz said in response. “I basically agree with you."

Wasserman Schultz and Miranda brainstormed ideas to attack Sanders’ position on the Israel/Palestine conflict with her communications team in one thread, with Wasserman Schultz saying that "the Israel stuff is disturbing” in reference to Sanders’ platform committee appointees attempts to include language denouncing the occupation of Palestinian territory in the Democratic platform.

The chairwoman says that the idea “HFA,” or Hillary For America, originally proposed the idea of using Israel/Palestine as “an ideal issue to marginalize Sanders on,” suggesting that the DNC were exchanging communications about anti-Sanders strategies with the Clinton campaign.

The DNC also appears to have made a secret “agreement” with Kenneth Vogel, an influential report for Politico.

An email from late April with the subject line "per agreement... any thoughts appreciated" shows that Vogel sent an advanced copy of a story about Hillary Clinton’s fundraising to the DNC even before his editor even saw it.

“Vogel gave me his story ahead of time/before it goes to his editors as long as I didn't share it,” DNC press secretary Mark Paustenbach wrote to  Miranda. “Let me know if you see anything that's missing and I'll push back.”

The published version of the story did not appear to have any significant edits from and was not favorable to the Clinton campaign, but the sending of a full, advanced copy to the subject of a story is considered to be a violation of journalistic ethics.

A source with familiar with the interaction between Politico and the DNC told RT America that the message was sent to officials to ensure accuracy in the story, and that it would have been difficult to ask for piecemeal clarifications due to its complexity. The “agreement,” in fact, referred to the DNC promising not to pass the story to a more favorable news outlet who might publish before  Politco.

Another email released in the Friday leak indicates that the DNC was in close contact with news websites on articles related to the Democratic Party.

A Real Clear Politics article said that Sanders supporters were causing a lack of unity at the Nevada Democratic Convention.

“This headline needs to be changed,”  Wasserman Schultz wrote to Miranda.

“We need to push back... Patrice, what happened, DNC had nothing to do with this, right?” Miranda replied, referring to DNC Director of Party Affairs Patrice Taylor.

Taylor responded saying that the article should be changed the event was run by the state party and the disorder “sounds like internal issues amount [sic] Sanders supporters.”

“Walter, please connect with Stewart and get him to push back,” Miranda wrote. The last email on the thread says:“Done. Article has been updated.”

Plotting against Sanders

In a May 5 email, two top DNC executives plotted a smear against Sanders by drawing his Jewish faith into question and painting him as an atheist in strongly religious states.

On Monday afternoon in a cavernous ballroom at the Philadelphia Convention Center, Bernie Sanders delivered a rousing speech to the nearly 1,900 delegates backing his late presidential bid. He hit all the thematic high points of his campaign: end big-money politics, restore the middle class, stop trade agreements, continue the revolution. And his supporters cheered wildly for their man. But when Sanders told them that they must now band together to defeat the "bigotry" of Donald Trump by electing Hillary Clinton, he was drowned out by a chorus of boos and anti-Clinton chants. Just hours before the official opening of the convention, Bernie Nation was not willing to follow Sanders' lead on this key point.

Sanders spoke after speeches by some of his biggest backers, including rapper Killer Mike, former NAACP President Ben Jealous, and actress Rosario Dawson. When Dawson mentioned Clinton, the room broke into loud boos. Dawson told the crowd that Clinton "is not a leader, she is a follower."

When he spoke, the senator from Vermont made the case that his presidential campaign had been a historic success and that it would continue to be a vehicle for political revolution. Volunteers handed out registration forms for Sanders supporters to hold organizing meetups in late August, to kick off a new step in this progressive crusade. Sanders received big cheers when he praised his supporters' contributions to what he called "by far the most progressive platform ever written" and an ovation when he noted the departure of Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, which he suggested might open up an opportunity for a more Bernie-friendly leadership in the party.

But when he tried to rally the delegates on behalf of Clinton, his audience became restless. "Immediately, right now, we have got to defeat Donald Trump, and we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine," Sanders said. His delegates shouted their protests and booed, forcing Sanders to pause before continuing in his remarks. Sanders called Trump a "bully and a demagogue" who "has made bigotry the core of his campaign." Still, the boos continued. "She does too!" delegates shouted. Others yelled, "Only you! Only you!"

What we have here is a “distraction.” And there must never be a distraction. This is politics, where everyone must always remain focused, never distracted.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the embattled and polarizing and now outgoing chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, had become a Category 5 distraction. Her persistence in the job had become untenable over the weekend after thousands of leaked internal D.N.C. emails proved, among other things, a clear bias in favor of Hillary Clinton and against Bernie Sanders, who had been urging Wasserman Schultz’s jettisoning for months. She finally resigned Sunday.

But Democrats can be so smug and predictable. From the second Wasserman Schultz was pushed out, the geniuses-in-charge here in Philadelphia were quick to pat themselves on the back over how quickly they had dealt with their “distraction.” They had addressed their problem and moved on and limited the damage, as if “damage” carried some objectively quantifiable output. There was damage all right, but it had been minimized. Basic orthodoxies of political damage control had been honored. Nice job, everyone.

By contrast, everyone pointed to how the Trump campaign had mishandled that Melania plagiarism flap last week in Cleveland (or was that last year?). It was allowed to linger — lingering being, in politico calculus, the force-multiplier of damage. They did not properly acknowledge the fiasco, admit their mistakes or feel sufficiently humbled. The press remarked on how the story lingered for three whole days. There would be so much damage done, no question. Self-inflicted damage! It showed how amateurish the Trump operation was compared with the pros in Philadelphia who were smart enough to confine their own little political norovirus to the weekend.

But then the sun rose blazing this morning, and the D.N.C. awoke with a bad case of the Mondays. It seemed, according to the first batch of post-R.N.C. polls, that Trump had in fact done quite well in Cleveland. He had pulled ahead of Clinton in many surveys. Despite all of that “damage” he supposedly suffered.

Meantime, there was Wasserman Schultz, lingering. “You will see me every day between now and Nov. 8,” the ousted chairwoman was saying at a raucous Florida delegation breakfast this morning. Was this a promise, a taunt or a threat?
