Though the Fox News promos state it is a debate of Republican candidates, most of the network’s on-air personalities have admitted publicly it has turned into the Donald Trump show as the top GOP contender has become the single most referenced topic on the minds of everyone following the 2016 Race for the White House.
That reality is not sitting well with GOP power brokers who are said to have made it clear to operatives linked to a variety of candidate camps that Donald Trump cannot be allowed to appear to win tomorrow night’s debate. Some are said to have taken an even more aggressive stance by indicating Trump’s Republican rivals are to “take him out” tomorrow night.
Trump has shocked the GOP establishment with his currently growing base of support based largely on his straight talk and a repeated promise to “Make America Great Again.”
That dominance is said to be facing its most focused challenge tomorrow night as Mr. Trump will be target #1 for a number of GOP hopefuls who have been told their own presidential hopes will be finished if they do not help in breaking the Trump momentum once and for all. This threat is said to come from an assortment of Wall Street and business interests concerned over the potential volatility of a Trump political machine – volatility that might make him “unmanageable” should he actually go on to become the Republican nominee.
It should also be noted some of these high-powered donors are helping to finance the campaigns of BOTH Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush. Presently, Donald Trump represents the single greatest threat to their intention of controlling the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.
Of the candidates who are said to have been given their anti-Trump marching orders last night, one was apparently told with the greatest sense of urgency – Senator Marco Rubio
Senator Rubio is currently sitting near the bottom of the top-tier candidate rankings with just 5% support among Republican voters. He was not so long ago viewed by some to be a legitimate contender for the GOP nomination. If he is to regain that former momentum (and the all-important campaign dollars that come to a real contender) he must prove himself to the political donor class tomorrow night by coming out aggressively against Mr. Trump.
It was reportedly the Rubio campaign that was specifically given the directive to, “take Trump out” during this week’s debate.
She did it!
“The Elites are scared.”
You’ve hit the nail on the head.
GOPe would rather have a RAT as POTUS and maintain their prestigeous elite positions in DC, than to have Trump as POTUS and hear: “You’re Fired!!!” They will pull whatever power strings they have to sink him. I hope he has good secutity folks. They’re coming after him.
Talk is cheap. The problem is that he says one thing & does the opposite. I hate having to say that! I hoped for better. Cornyn is bad enough.
With the debate now past, it’s clear that this was “misdirection”. Faux News instead was to take out Trump. Judging by the after debate snap polls, their attempt was blatantly obvious, and Faux failed.
I hear what you are saying and haven’t forgotten his wanderings. Wish and wonder what he would be like with Trump’s money. Near perfect I am guessing. I want to believe in him but have some lingering doubts. Is it just he is beholding to the ‘money-men’?
Do you mean my objection? It’s impossible to know, really, what motivates people. Most of us, according to our priorities in life, are bad to see/ believe what we want to see or not be able to discern between fear & truth, etc. We hope so much that others will live up to our dreams & expectations.
God/ the Lord is the ONLY one who is infallible & trustworthy. Men (mankind) fail- always, period.
I tend to distrust less a person who is brash & brutally honest- even if I don’t necessarily agree with them or completely approve of them. They rarely hide things.
Deceivers/ liars/ manipulators/ exploiters, I am very very sensitive to. Even a whiff & I am out.
I have very low tolerance for people who try to use faith as a means to do those 4 things. It is entirely too common. NOTHING, to me, is more abominable than that.
The problem is not even necessarily something a person has done, but whether they portray themselves as something they obviously are not. If a person repeatedly does things that conflict with their self portrayal, I’m skeptical of them.
H1Bs are way better than cancer - but that doesn't make them a good thing.
Sounds like you are just unhappy that other people can provide the same skills as you for a lower cost.
By and large, it's not the same skills - it's a pretense of the same skills that gets the hirer a short-term payroll savings at the cost of long-term quality and productivity. The pure free market solution would be to let those hirers reap the long-term consequences ... but that would mean significant collateral damage to the American middle class in the meantime.
Faux News Network failed spectacularly. The ugly spectacle detonated in their faces.
