The head of the Republican National Committee, responding to demands from increasingly worried party leaders, spent nearly an hour Wednesday on the phone with Donald Trump, urging the presidential candidate to tone down his inflammatory comments about immigration that have infuriated a key election constituency.

The call from Chairman Reince Priebus, described by donors and consultants briefed on the conversation and confirmed by the RNC, underscores the extent to which Trump has gone from an embarrassment to a cause for serious alarm among top Republicans in Washington and nationwide.

No Reince, it’s called beating you, not damaging you.

If they’re worried about image they wouldn’t have made that lowlife Boehner Speaker again.

What a joke. The GOP has no image or self respect left. They have been licking Obama’s boots for six and half years while betraying the GOP voting base at every turn. Trump can do nothing to worsen their reputation as a bunch of feckless, corrupt hacks and sell outs. They al make me sick.

Rancid Prius and the RNC have collected millions from The Cheap Labor Express to produce a amnesty candidate and get Republican voters to vote for amnesty.
Donald Trump is mucking that all up.
The issue is now front and center with no candy coating and they don’t like it.
More importantly, their donors don’t like it.

Oh God I can’t believe so many conservatives are latching on to this egotistical opportunistic phony blowhard. Now I know why they call it the stupid party. Good luck with Hillary, sheesh.

At this point the only thing I am certain of with regards to Trump is that he is exactly right on illegal immigration. He is moving the needle like no one before him.
