Top Republicans and political allies to Donald Trump are planning an "intervention" with the candidate following a disastrous two days and political firestorm encircling the Republican presidential nominee, according to a report Wednesday.
Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Speaker Newt Gingrich are among those looking to talk with the businessman, NBC News reports.
The group hopes to enlist Trump's children, who have proven pivotal in advising the businessman's candidacy, in their effort to get Trump back on track after days of feuding on Trump's part that even his closest political allies like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has found inappropriate.
Trump insisted in a tweet early Wednesday that there is "great unity" in his campaign despite reports of internal campaign strife following an onslaught of negative attention.
The real estate tycoon feuded with the parents of a slain American Muslim soldiers killed in Iraq whose father spoke at last week's Democratic convention, then caught flak over his answers in an interview on Russia's moves in Europe.
Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday he wasn't ready to back Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in their primary races, despite them endorsing his candidacy, and he also swiped at Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.).
Following the Democrat media schedule perfectly. Look back and every recent GOP candidate had the media report on their campaign “imploding.” We knew it was coming when Trump was closing the gap in the polls. The Democrat media wing can always be counted on to count the Republican candidate out doubt day 100 of the campaign. Hopefully, people will recognize it and ignore them….but with RINOs throwing support to Hillary every day, it helps the media attack.
This BS is actually via F. Chuck Todd, perhaps tied to Ryan and McCain non-endorsements.
This crap is why I quit the GOP and became an independent recently.
Notice how all the dems fall in line behind their candidates - even when their candidates are accused of rape - or when their candidates endanger national security with an illegal email server and then repeatedly lie about it?
GOPe - fall in line behind your candidates chosen by the people - or else more like me will quit you and you will vanish.
Trump is doing something that Newt, Rudy and Reince Priebus could not do, and that is win!
Don’t listen to these GOPe hacks, Trump!
They are losers!
Donald J Trump must be ten points ahead in the private polls! He is driving them crazy! The reaction to Mike Pence as his running mate has been fantastic here in Arizona. The campaign schedule they are keeping up will simply kill Hillary if she tries to keep up.
He is talking virtually non stop about a ton of issues.
It’s the globalist media talking about it 24/7. Do you take all your concern troll views from them?
With plenty of help from the #NeverTrumpers. Beck was dreaming again this morning that Trump will back out and revive Cruz or Mitt.
you are a troll .
this ridiculous post proves it .
Trump has not talked anout this topic since the weekend.
the media is trying to keep this dead story alive .
Trump is doing nothing more than giving answers to attacks on him. What is he supposed to do- stand mute?
And it’s funny how many of those that are against him now were neverTrumpers that favored Cruz.
okay, that’s why he was able to build an empire...just couldn’t concentrate. /s
Like this administration giving money to Iran.
After listening to Giuliani and Gingrich on FOX last night, I’d say this has credibility
Trump,is still fighting like he’s in the primaries
His audience has changed now, it is the national undecideds he needs to convince
and he needs to adapt or spend the next 3 months swinging at dozens or hundreds of democrat planted bogies while Cankles coasts and obama roasts
Both Giuliani and Gingrich said let them and others ( huckabee et al) handle the JV team and trump please focus on hillary and Obama
gingrich also implied trump is going to need ryan and McCain and battling them at this time is wasting ammo energy and jeopardizing future cooperation
“Khan is a conman”
Well of course.
But why was he allowed to get the Trump campaign to make mistakes in how they took the bait and responded?
It was a trap that was pre-planned; the Trump campaign reacted poorly.
This article was written by Chuck F’ing Todd. Enough said.
Trump can handle his affairs, so get over yourself.
Thanks for sharing the GOPe perspective.
Vote Trump 2016
To the “stupid @ss GOP”, the “real enemy” IS Donald Trump.
When Trump wins, the GOP will strut and be proud of themselves, being “in the driver’s seat” for a change.
If (God forbid) Hillary wins, the professional GOPe will merely continue business as usual, and whine that the loss had nothing to do with the people’s disgust with them.
chucky todd whose wife works at the dnc .
created this lie and the Hill spits it out as fact .
chuckie the nbc operative outed in the email scandal .
the concerned trolls here are ridiculous.
If the RNC has until Sept to plug another in, this is exactly why we're getting the smears now, with added shrieking everyday.
need Ryan and mcCain?
How do you build a global company with insane profits and a personal wealth of over a billion while having Attention Deficit Disorder? Impossible.
Trump is doing just fine. So well in fact that the dems, media and many in the establishment of the GOP are throwing everything at him they can think of to destroy him.
