Dozens of Republicans to urge RNC to cut off funds for Trump
Politico ^ | Aug 11, 2016 | Anna Palmer

Posted on 08/11/2016 4:00:21 PM PDT by Albion Wilde

More than 70 Republicans have signed an open letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus urging him to stop spending any money to help Donald Trump win in November and shift those contributions to Senate and House races.

The letter comes as a number of Republican senators and high-profile GOP national security officials have come forward saying they cannot vote for Trump.

“We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck,” states a draft of the letter obtained by POLITICO. “This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day.”...

Republican Andrew Weinstein, a vocal anti-Trump Republican, is one of the operatives organizing the letter, which began circulating earlier this week and is expected to be sent next week.

They all want to move up in the RNC with their career. With McCain and Romney people in high places for the last 8 years, they probably think they can’t move up in the RNC by being pro Trump... When I go to RNC events, I feel the pro Romney anti-trump peer pressure.

I don't know any REAL Republicans, other than my wife, and she has never been involved in party politics. She's just a registered Republican.

All my friends are conservatives who vote Republican.

I've been selling them the Uniparty story all summer, and the GOPe has been helping me close the sale.

I know a LARGE voting block of conservatives that won't vote Republican in the next election, if these anti-Trump machinations succeed.

What are there, 12 dedicated Republicans in every medium-sized city?

Whotta buncha idiots.

“Reince Priebus should yank these people’s membership to the GOP and ban them for life!”

The way I heard it, Reince is in on it.

If they can’t vote for Trump then we can’t vote for them.

All contributions we make are and will be made through Trump’s website. So they can’t touch it. The only one other than Trump we contribute to is Pat McCrory. Go Trump!

Perhaps now that primaries are over we need to dump,our party affiliations now, not after the election

Even 2 million republicans switching to independent might get some attention

Personally I plan to switch after the election but I could accelerate my plan

Well, my feeling is that Trump should dump a lot of people from the Republican Party, too. I suspect there are millions of voters like me on that point. I guess we’ll see when the votes are counted.

I hope someone’s keeping a list of these traitorous cowards. It’s going to take a long time to clean this house!

If you are eally a Trump supporter, you will vote for republican senators and reps so that he will have the support he needs in congress.
