GOP lawmakers urge RNC to cut ties with Trump
thehill ^ | 8/16/16 | Jonathan Easley

Two GOP lawmakers have joined a group of Never Trump Republicans urging the Republican National Committee to cut Donald Trump loose and focus instead on protecting Republican majorities in the House and Senate.

Reps. Scott Rigell (R-Va.) and Reid Ribble (R-Wis.) have signed on to a letter with 121 other GOP operatives and former elected officials urging the RNC to divert resources away from the top of the ticket.

ADVERTISEMENT “Given the catastrophic impact that Donald Trump’s losing presidential campaign will have on down-ballot Senate and House races, we urge you to immediately suspend all discretionary RNC support for Trump and focus the entirety of the RNC’s available resources on preserving the GOP’s congressional majorities,” a draft of the letter states.

Apparently, VA and WI are beyond Trump’s reach, and there are no other plausible states to replace them.

Then we will have no, "0", nada...candidate. Yeh, that makes sense.

Trump just raised a sh**load of money for the party.

So my reply to you is....read between the lines.

Reid Ribble (R-Wis.)


Wisconsin again. Ryan could shut that down with one phone call. That he isn’t lifting a finger to support Trump is all you need to know about who he prefers in the White House.

They must really not be concerned with the 2018 mid-terms or the 2020 Presidential election. I suppose they think we’ll have forgotten about their betrayal. I think they’re wrong.

They need to leave! We have voted for the hold yer nose candidates for years! If they cannot vote for our choice this time, they can leave the party! Encourage them to join the Democrat party, it is where their position on issues lies!

If Trump loses this thing I will not vote Democrat under any conditions but will not vote Republican either and if I find I can cause a Republican to lose his seat I may just hold my nose and vote Democrat,then beg God to forgive me.
The Republican Elite are as bad as the evil Democrats.

I wonder if the hacked Soros emails will reveal anything interesting concerning the RINO/Hillary connection?

Yes it is. Very amazing. Especially the ones who have had to follow killary’s career and what she has done. Bill too.

Just think if she gets WH Bill and Weiner get to run naked thru the map room chasing interns. C

Trump was asked about those calling for the RNC to cut him lose, his response was that he could just as easily stop fundraising for the RNC, and just fundraise for himself.

Sitting Congressmen are not nobodies. This damages Trump by gifting the Dems a talking point in this news cycle. That these “Republicans” get a free pass to dump on their party’s nom is all you need to know about who the GOPe want to win.

RNC and elected Republicans repudiate Trump.

Trump wins election.

Where does that leave the gopes?
