Plan A for GOP donors: Wait for Trump to fall. (There is no Plan B.)
Washington Post ^ | November 25 at 7:19 PM | By Matea Gold and Robert Costa

When Donald Trump landed in Ohio this week, he got a taste of the meager Republican super PAC efforts aimed at him: a 47-second Web video clipping together some of his most provocative comments and a small airplane trailing a banner proclaiming, “Ohioans Can’t Trust Trump.”

As the combative mogul enters his fifth month at the top of the GOP presidential field, attempts to derail him remain anemic, underfunded and unfocused — and they will probably stay that way until the Iowa caucuses in less than 10 weeks.

Further down in the article:

“I’m not sure someone wouldn’t do better to take their money and throw it off a tall building,” said Henry Barbour, a Mississippi-based operative who is unaligned with any of the campaigns. “I think the voters who are for Trump are not going to move off from Trump.”

GOPe going after Trump reminds me more everyday of Wile E. Coyote going after the roadrunner. To be fair, most of everything GOPe does reminds me of Wile E. Coyote.

“Plan A for GOP donors: Wait for Trump to fall. (There is no Plan B.)”.......

Precisely why we no longer support the GOP. It’s hard to support idiots and traitors who are nothing but liberals hiding behind an elephant.

Of course. They may feel the same about Cruz.

That’s what I’ve been saying. They are nothing but backstabbing pigs, part of the “unity party”. Demopublicans who are hellbent on selling out this country like a cheap yard sale.
