GOP Governors Hold Emergency Conference Call to Discuss Trump
Political Wire ^ | By Taegan Goddard

Posted on 03/01/2016 12:19:32 PM PST by drewh

Top Republicans — including governors who convened an emergency conference call on Monday on which Trump was Topic A — expect the real estate mogul to carry as many as 10 states on Tuesday night, an outcome that would deal a body blow to Sen. Ted Cruz, who has staked his campaign heavily on the Southern states holding nominating contests, and to Sen. Marco Rubio, who has yet to win a primary and isn’t expected to do so on Tuesday.”

“Trump’s march to the nomination has set off a wave of anxiety across the Republican Party establishment as top officials weigh whether to endorse him — or denounce him as anathema to the party’s values. Reflecting that angst, on Monday morning, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the heads of the Republican Governors Association, convened fellow governors for an unusual conference call to discuss how the primary was unfolding — and Trump was a central topic of conversation.”

Gee, if only the GOP had worked this hard in 2008 and 2012, we might not have been stuck with Obama for 8 years

Going to be pretty rough down ticket when Trump tells his millions of supporters (half the GOP base) to only vote for GOPers who he has endorsed.

A revolution every once in awhile is a good thing, paraphrase of T Jefferson.

About time these leeches get the message. Outside the government the credo is be an asset or find a new job. These guys are nothing but hacks.

I wonder if Chisti was on that call??

The GOP and anyone taking money from any of their entities is CORRUPT.

Ted Cruz is profiting from stolen Trump campaign contributions by NRSC. MORE Dirty Tricks!

FUND raisers for Cruz

The NRSC (which Cruz helped operate) is who is stealing campaign contributions from Trump supporters...and Ted is profiting from it.

Debt Retirement Reception@ National Republican Senatorial Committee (Gotta help pay off Goldman Sachs loans!)
Beneficiaries: Ted Cruz
Contribution: $2,000; $1,000 (suggested contributions at event)

More on the scams against Trump by NRSC, NRCC & the RNC..NONE of which Rush, Levin or Hannity will touch! YOU need to ask them why!???

“Hillary!’s march to the nomination has set off a wave of anxiety across the democrat Party establishment as top officials weigh whether to endorse her — or denounce her as anathema to the party’s values.”

Funny, you don’t ever see this.

There are only two rational alternatives at this point. Endorse, or sit down and shut up.

The GOP is working hard now. For Hillary. Because she supports TPP and Amnesty. Trump doesn’t.

I wonder if the conference call included Chris Christie and Maine Gov. Paul LePage, both of whom endorsed Trump last week.

I don’t know if I trust ANY media right now to believe ANYTHING they say....

Gov. Chris Christie was in Columbus Ohio this morning introducing Trump for his rally, why wasn’t he there?

I just don’t believe what I read anymore...

Yep. As a long time supporter of Ted Cruz it’s quite disappointing to see him called home to the GOPe. He’s marching in lock step with them today. Disgusting.
