Republican leaders worry that Donald Trump is damaging GOP image (Priebus called Trump today)
Washington Post ^ | 7/8/15 | Karen Tumulty, Philip Rucker and Robert Costa

Posted on 07/08/2015 6:38:34 PM PDT by jimbo123

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.

The “Republican” Image is Democrat. That needs to change.

The GOP gives us “leaders” like Gov. Mike Pence, who sells out something as important as religious liberty as soon as some leftist CEO says, “Boo.” I’m not a fan of Trump but I can understand his appeal when the Republican party has become nothing more than the pass-around slut for big corporations.

The GOP’s image is that of spineless buffoons.

And Trump is staining that image.

Priebus is not the answer. And the GOPe has no clue what the question is to begin with.

I don’t lke Trump as the nominee, but he is doing God’s work hewing down the rino koffee clatch.

Uncle Bernie and Don are two interesting candidates in a real boring group who think they should be president. What is interesting is that they speak directly what they believe and do not owe anyone anything. Both parties are fearful of them as they are gaining traction. The powers to be can't stop them. Grab the popcorn and enjoy,

Trump couldn’t hurt the GOP-E image anymore than Priebus has with his attacks on Conservatives and pandering to the democrats and leftist. I’m still a Republican most of those who call themselves republicans are now something else. PORP

Trump is a clown but the Boehner/McConnell/McCain section of the GOP ruined the GOP brand long before Trump came along.
