GOP reaches 'new level of panic' over Trump's candidacy (actually libtards in new level of panic)

Turmoil in the Republican Party escalated Wednesday as party leaders, strategists and donors voiced increased alarm about the flailing state of Donald Trump's candidacy and fears that the presidential nominee was damaging the party with an extraordinary week of self-inflicted mistakes, gratuitous attacks and missed opportunities.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus was described as "very frustrated" with and deeply disturbed by Trump's behavior over the past week, having run out of excuses to make on the nominee’s behalf to donors and other party leaders, according to multiple people familiar with the events.

Meanwhile, Trump's top campaign advisers are struggling once again to instill discipline in their candidate, who has spent recent days lurching from one controversy to another while seemingly skipping chances to go on the offensive against his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.

"A new level of panic hit the street," said longtime operative Scott Reed, chief strategist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "It's time for a serious reset."

The MSM in general and WaPoo in particular wouldn't be rigging polls and pumping out such a load of rubbish if they weren't scared to death over little things ... like corruption, impending economic collapse, terrorism, the debates, Bubba's bimbos, Hillary's health, and much more!

Not to mention rock star-size turnouts at his campaign events.

Early this morning, the first story off the presses was Obama sending his minions near and far to collect francs, euros, and assorted other non-American currency, to deliver, by private plane, millions to Iran.

Within minutes, the press flooded itself with stories questioning Trump’s sanity, whether he would quit, that the RNC were having an ‘intervention’ (Kahn’s - put him in a room and lock the door comment, remember?), and assorted other distractive character-assassination attempts. Also surfacing is Kahn’s talking point, “moral compass.”

Tonite, Don Lemmon, still smarting from Dr. Drew’s rejection of Lemmon’s insanity narrative, is back to accusing Trump rallies of being racist.

Anything to distract us. And turn the focus and the anger away from this administration.

Not working.

We sent a planeload of money to Iran. We want answers.

Some UFC fighter is calling Trump a coward for not gettnig in the ring with him for 100k. Wrote a really long article smashing Trump.

I told him I’d take Trump’s place for 100k, unless he was afraid of a 48 year old, overweight ex boxer (25 years ex).

I’ll let you know if he responds :)

And yet, with all the hand-wringing; Trump has about 15,000 people at his town hall tonight in FL.

That tells me .. super landslide possibilities.
