It’s the Republican No-show Convention: Trump campaign chief says Bushes are ‘part of the past’ and John Kasich is ’embarrassing his state’ after they lead boycott of The Donald’s coronation
Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort went on ‘Morning Joe’ and shamed Ohio Gov. John Kasich for not coming to the GOP convention
‘He’s embarrassing his state,’ Manafort said; he later blasted the Bush clan as ‘part of the past,’ saying the party is ‘unifying’ without them
Newt Gingrich said the Bushes are acting ‘childishly’ by not coming to Cleveland at all; ‘Jeb lost. Get over it,’ Gingrich fumed
Democrats mocked Trump over the defections, particularly when it comes to Kasich and other Ohio Republicans avoiding the event in their own state

Republicans refusing to come to this week’s GOP convention in Cleveland are receiving a dose of shame from allies of presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Monday that the Bush family, who aren’t setting foot in Cleveland this week, are ‘part of the past,’ while Trump is ‘the future’ of the Republican Party.
He tsk-tsked Ohio Gov. John Kasich for refusing to enter the convention hall even though the convention is taking place in his home state.
And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, overlooked for Trump’s running-mate slot, said the entire Bush family is behaving ‘childishly’ by not showing up.
Democrats, on the other hand, used the debacle to mock Trump, pointing out that an ‘unprecedented amount’ of Republicans were skipping the party’s convention.
