RNC: Knock off the name calling
WMUR.com ^ | 07/26/2015 | Brian Stelter CNN

(CNN) —The Republican National Committee has a message for candidates like Donald Trump: No more name-calling.

That's what the party's chief strategist and communications director Sean Spicer said on CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday.

"I understand it's going to be the nature of any primary for folks to discuss the differences between themselves on policy issues, and I think that's fine," Spicer said. "The name calling, however, needs to stop."

Spicer added: "We have got to remember what Ronald Reagan taught us, his 11th commandment, 'Thou shall not speak ill of another Republican.'"

Spicer didn't point his comments directly at Trump or any other candidate, but it's Trump who has been receiving the most attention for insulting his rivals in recent weeks.

Headline is misleading. The guy was a pajama boy. There was no tough talk. It appeared scripted on leftist network. Disturbing.

The pajama boys in the RNC won't even complain about the lib MSM putting words in their mouths because they agree with it.

Georgie Will should not be allowed on the roundtable while his wife is working for a campaign. What a huge conflict of interest.

And Trump has only been responding to the name calling directed towards him!
For anybody brain dead enough to think that's not true
Trump’s speech in Iowa came on the heels of a fundraiser for Walker referring to the New York business mogul as “DumbDumb” in an event invitation email earlier this week.

-------

But after Walker’s fundraising email went public, Trump declared: “I can finally attack.”

I wonder what Reagan would have thought about Republicans paying Democrats to vote illegally in a Republican primary against the conservative candidate. The anti American RNC can merge with the DNC for all I care. Why is Trump leading in the polls?

I assume this missive is directed at Cailtyn Graham, Songbird McCain, and Retard Rick, since they have done 90% of the name calling.

Rick Perry’s comments concerning Trump were the most offensive yet. Calling him a cancer was just horrible. I have lost a lot of respect for Perry over his trying to take down Trump. Perry is just what we don’t need.

You need to check your white privilege.

You don't understand the struggle.
