Members of a storied Manhattan Republican club were booted during a heated meeting at its Upper East Side headquarters — because of their support for President Trump, sources told The Post.
Tensions at the Metropolitan Republican Club on East 83rd Street — which counts state Republican Committee chief Ed Cox and former Mayor Mike Bloomberg as members — had been festering for months over Trump’s ascent to the presidency.
After his surprise victory in November, sources said, the club’s old guard launched a campaign to cleanse Trump supporters.
“They hate Donald Trump, and they were really pissed when he won,” said expelled executive board member Sandra Chase.
Club President Debbie Coughlin, former club President Peter Hein, Bob Morgan III and Ian Reilly colluded to boot Trump backers — and flagrantly violated longstanding bylaws in doing so, the sources allege. Dismissed members likened the move to a Soviet political purge.

They hated Reagan when he won, too. But they got used to winning, so they pretended to go along with him.
Never heard of this Elite group. Of course, I’m not a member of “elite” nothing, except for FR....
He's a first-class showman -- that's for sure.
Exactly.
You are obviously set in your cynicism re: Trump, but here is the 1988 interview anyway:

And a bonus, here he is in 1980 being interviewed by Brokaw:

That made me laugh...well played!
That is actually a very good way to describe him.
Wow—do you hate all women who take a position of even minor authority in the world?
Where are you on Maggie Thatcher?
Your picture was what came to my mind too.
Well. The original republican president quoted the scripture “a house divided can’t stand.” I think this is something the rinos need to consider. The constituency has made known our will. They are either with us, or the party should just go ahead and merge with the Rats and call it Uniparty, like it is and has been.
According to miss marmelstein, they are more like a bunch of Chatsworth Osborne, Jr’s................................
I suspect most of the Republicans that don’t like Trump are essentially Democrats.
No, they weren’t blue-bloods. More like Wall Street types.
I’ve lived in the NYC area most of my life, and I’ve seen Trump in action for a long time. I’m a big fan and I have a lot of confidence in him, but he really has been all over the map politically over the years. We would all do well to keep his administration under close scrutiny in Washington.
Then they should love Trump!
I don’t get it!.............
That’s fair. But where I am most worried it is simply where I disagree with him (e.g., on tariffs) or admittedly don’t like his style (though I acknowledge that it took that bluntness for him to break through to victory) or I fear him wanting too much to be approved of by his leftist daughter and SIL.
It’s been years since I’ve been a part of it. Maybe it’s changed.
Do leopards change their spots?.................
Same is true for The Congress! GOPe all look like they just “hoovered a turd!”
I saw that after I made my reply to you. Guess they just wannabe Mr. and Mrs. Howell.
(or Ms. Howell as the case may be - i’m not there yet)
