GOP reaches 'new level of panic' over Trump's candidacy (actually libtards in new level of panic)
Washington Post ^ | August 3, 2016 | Philip Rucker, Dan Balz and Matea Gold

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."

Fantastic crowds. I’m glad.

The only people in panic are the Globalist.

This is a psyop to create the false narrative about Trump.

It serves the following purposes.

1). To not talk about Hilary and all her scandals

2). To not talk about the division within the DNC between Sanders and Hillary supporters.

3). It’s an all out attack on Trump so that he has to be constantly be on the Defense instead of the offense against Hillary

4). It’s to appeal to the weak minded people that will think Trump is not the right guy or electable.

5). Its attempt to scuttle the Trump nomination in order to stop him shutting down the Globalist attemp to destroy our Republic.

If Globalist really thought they could beat Trump, then they would let Trump bury himself.

After Brexit and other world wide rejections of the Globalist they are in full panics mode. Make no mistake the Globalist fear Trump. This is why they at throwing everything at him including the kitchen sink.

Hey, Reince, Trump needs no excuses from you nor anyone else. What he needs is your vote, your loyalty to your country (OUR COUNTRY) I suggest you give it a rest and rethink your differences. The man has been working like a dog for US and for your measly, elite party animals to get you guys up to snuff and solid enough to actually fight for the Ideals you believe in (so you claim) Cut him some slack, Jack. He is working to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and if you foresee a future where you might have a job (possibly the one you now have) then it is suggested you get in line and follow a leader - back to the promised land, the one land our FF found for US (they also died for US, BTW) So how do you plan to iron out all these wrinkles. That is your job is it not? PS and lay off the malarkey about DJT not endorsing Ryan. The man is giving back what he was given. How did you handle L’yn Ryan? You, sir, are as well liked here as a bad case of chicken pox.

These people NOT working for the millions of voters who support Trump!

Why do these people follow along with the Democrats, instead of using their own brains and judgement? Are they that greedy and blind?

Trump is not following the rules that liberals set out for him? Of course, that’s exactly how he won the nomination. And that is exactly how he will win the presidency.

The claim that "Reince Priebus is 'very frustrated' with and deeply disturbed by Trump's behavior over the past week" is false. The press is nothing but a pack of bald-faced liars. Priebus has been doing fine.

I've questioned his silence when these false claims pop up, but on reflection, I think he's better off ignoring them. Once you start reacting to false claims, the press can make you "hop" on command, just by publishing a false claim.

Trump was right about the biased judge and the immigration lawyer, but he was too emotional to convince the American people in either case. The American people have to have the dots easily connected so they can see.

ILLINOIS

Another GOPe Rino, Never Trumper that went on CNN and confirmed that he will not support Donald Trump for POTUS.

Kinzinger is just another little weasel punk that has turned on those in Illinois that worked for and supported him, which put him in office.

CHICAGO (AP) _ Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger says he cannot support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

During an appearance Wednesday on CNN, Kinzinger said he is unlikely to vote for Trump because the nominee was “beginning to cross a lot of red lines of the unforgivable in politics.”

The GOP.. “fears that the presidential nominee was damaging the party with an extraordinary week of self-inflicted mistakes, gratuitous attacks and missed opportunities.”.....

The stupid bastards have done this all by themselves, long before Trump ever came on the scene. They need to look squarely in the mirror and ask why the demodummies have been eating their lunch for the past 8 years.

The rational and calm follow-up to every charge against Trump has shown that he was correct and on target. It would be nice if someone would publish a book depicting the false claims.

What is disturbing is that so many accept and take action on a false premise. It is a non-stop feeding frenzy!

These people, especially GOPe, should be named and shamed. Paul Ryan is one of them.

Don't bother listing the Democrats, they have disordered minds, as pointed out by Mike Savage and others.

They are outing themselves. I'll point to another one, Susan Collins, oh and John McCain. Those two take the media narrative on the Khan incident as factual, and base their objection to Trump on the falsehood. It is both disturbing and helpful that so many accept the false premise!

The democrats and the MSM carefully note the witch’s rather large groupings of negatives and then hurl them back as Trump’s own. Alinsky tactics.

They really don’t get that the normal rules don’t work this time. The more ANYBODY within the establishment complains about Trump, the more people from ALL political persuasions are going to come to his defense.

Nobody trusts the MSM or the political establishment any more and this has become a “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” sort of thing. The fact that even those who will vote for Hillary will do it after taking a good stiff drink. Probably three or four.

I have finally reached the point that I no longer care what the GOP or the Republican Party does. One way or the other I will vote for Donald Trump for President on election day. Both the GOP and Republican Party can do as they please. I doubt that they will be near as many Republicans in Congress on the day after the election as opposed to the day prior the election.
