Dozens of Republicans to urge RNC to cut off funds for Trump
Politico ^ | Aug 11, 2016 | Anna Palmer

Posted on 08/11/2016 4:00:21 PM PDT by Albion Wilde

More than 70 Republicans have signed an open letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus urging him to stop spending any money to help Donald Trump win in November and shift those contributions to Senate and House races.

The letter comes as a number of Republican senators and high-profile GOP national security officials have come forward saying they cannot vote for Trump.

“We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck,” states a draft of the letter obtained by POLITICO. “This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day.”...

Republican Andrew Weinstein, a vocal anti-Trump Republican, is one of the operatives organizing the letter, which began circulating earlier this week and is expected to be sent next week.

Yeah, let’s send all the funds to the Senators and House republicans to save their careers. The same SOB’s who did nothing to stop Obama or even influence him slightly.

They apparently are in denial and do not realize that the voters have had it with them.

Trump loses, I'm DONE with the Republican Party forever.

I'll work against them at EVERY opportunity.

What these idiots don’t realize is that Trump is not our (the people) last chance. He’s THEIR last chance. It’s the last chance to let the peaceful political process work. After that, we’ll find other recourse.

Never fund RINO’s again after this election.

They’ve called in their hand and are clearly trojan horse LIBS.

We need to prepare a list of these traitors and continue adding to the list so we can purge them during their next election.

Better than voting against every Republcan,make your choices based on who is and isn’t a traitor and who’s loyal. Vote against the traitors and vote for the loyalists. That way we get President Trump with the congressional support we and he need.

Former Sen. Gordon Humphrey of New Hampshire and former Reps. Chris Shays of Connecticut, Tom Coleman of Missouri and Vin Weber of Minnesota are among the Republicans lending their name to the letter. Close to 20 of the co-signers are former RNC staffers, including Mindy Finn (former RNC chief digital strategist), Christine Iverson Gunderson (former RNC press secretary), Virginia Hume Onufer (former RNC deputy press secretary), Beth Miller (former RNC field communications division director), Heather Layman (former deputy press secretary), B. Jay Cooper (former RNC communications director under four chairmen) and Patrick Ruffini (former RNC ecampaign director).

Fools again forgetting what will happen to the GOP if Trump is trashed after the Repub voters selected him. But from many events of recent, maybe they just do not care. Uniparty mentality.

Gordon Humphrey was once one of the four or five most conservative senators; but in time, all that changed.

Their names need to be kept in front of voters.
