Donald Trump to GOP: 'Be Quiet' or I’ll Lead Alone
ABC News ^ | June 15, 2016 | Candace Smith

Donald Trump issued a harsh directive for fellow members of his party: Be quiet or I’ll be forced to lead alone.

Speaking in the historic Fox Theater in Atlanta, Georgia, Trump appeared to be fed up with leadership of the party he will likely lead into the November election.

"You know, the Republicans, honestly folks, our leaders, our leaders have to get tougher. This is too tough to do it alone. But you know what, I think I’m going to be forced to. I think I am going to be forced to, our leaders have to get a lot tougher,” he began.

He added, icily, "And be quiet. Just please be quiet. Don't talk, please be quiet.”

Trump has had a very tenuous relationship with many other Republicans, strife stemming from many of his more controversial proposals statements....

Work for Trump in Ohio and Florida. Only these 2 states will decide the Presidential election I Hope Trump knows this. All the other states are already either Blue or Red. For example California is communist and so is for Hillary. Alabama and Louisiana for Trump

The GOP establishment has been the go-along-to-get-along for decades. They don’t know how to act otherwise. They don’t even know what leadership is, because they have been and prefer the minority status.

As minority, they don’t have to work as hard and they still get invites to the power gatherings and they still get their turn at the money troughs.

The best thing that could happen would be for them to leave Trump’s Republican Party. But, when they realize how much status they would lose, they won’t go. Instead, they will likely dog President Trump through his entire presidency.

Excellent. About damned time.

Tell Yurtle and Ryan to sit down and shut up.

Can’t we do a money bomb for Nehlen? I know he can’t compete with all Ryan’s dirty cash but he’s a great candidate. If he can get the word out he might have a shot.

It’s setting up just to be like 1964, where the GOP establishment didn’t support Goldwater.

The party bosses hope so. But Trump is more like Reagan-- whom the party bosses and media tried to sabotage as well-- in that he, like Reagan and unlike Goldwater, has the capacity to go above the party and the media and reach the people directly.

And this evening the creep Bill OReally did everything in his slimey power to egg Puss Ryan on to backstab and undermine Trump. What a pair of lowlifes.

Two things, 1) he has to stay cool until he is formally nominated at the convention, and 2) once he is, declare war on the GOPe & Hillary. Run against Washington DC corruption. It’s his best shot.

Good news is the Wisconsin primary is in August...after the convention.

Once the nomination is secure, Trump can come full out against Ryan. In a low turnout primary, Nehlan can pull it off.

But now Trump has instant communication, the internet, etc., which Goldwater didn’t have. Plus, Trump knows how to handle the media, where Goldwater did not. And the yuuugest of all; God has His hand on Trump, and Trump IS our next POTUS.

GOPe- and the Demon-rats together with the MSM

Feel sorry for him- this fight has not EVEN begun-

He needs some political support- and I do not see it

Even people who are not Trump supporters should be sickened by their dupliciousness.

All Trump fans need to contribute at least $25 to his campaign. Many more individuals will contribute more. It works - just ask Bernie Sanders.
