A top establishment Republican donor reportedly wants Donald Trump banned from the first presidential debate.
Fox News will host the first GOP presidential debate on August 6 in Cleveland, and the debate will be limited to the top ten candidates “in an average of the five most recent national polls in the run-up” to the debate. Trump, who placed second in Fox News’s most recent national poll after his presidential announcement speech in which he took firm stances against illegal immigration and trade deals that harm American workers, is in line to be one of the 10 candidates on stage.
And that is not sitting well with some of the party’s top donors, many of whom favor pro-amnesty legislation and do want to see their establishment darlings like Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% challenged on the issue.
According to an Associated Press report, “Republican donor John Jordan said Monday that GOP leaders should take steps to block Trump’s access to the first presidential debate in early August.”
“Someone in the party ought to start some sort of petition saying, ‘If Trump’s going to be on the stage, I’m not going to be on there with him,'” Jordan told the AP. “I’m toying with the idea of it.”

Donald Trump is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN
Well, I guess we know now that said donor supports people breaking the law.
Crossing the border illegally is a crime.
Illegal immigrants are criminals.
Said donor doesn’t understand that, apparently.
Dumb idea. Sure he’s a loudmouth ass but excluding him would make him a martyr.
Besides, putting him in a situation where he can’t control the conversation will expose him for the liberal he is.
“Top GOP Donor Wants Donald Trump Banned From First Debate”
So THAT’S how it works?
The GOPe’s are in sheer panic mode over Trump.
They know Cruz and Trump will expose the rest of the clowns on immigration, Live and in full color for the entire nation to see.
That may be the objective, making him a martyr.
He’s right on illegal immigration.
His stance on the 2nd amendment is.... *sound unidentified, could be vomiting, could be summoning cthulhu*
We must not speak of illegal immigration - international human trafficking by our own governing ‘elites’ for the purpose of politically motivated ethnic cleansing.
It's the GOPe way.
So the DONORS control the party?..... oh I forgot.
‘If Trump’s going to be on the stage, I’m not going to be on there with him,’” Jordan told the AP. “I’m toying with the idea of it.”—
Me:
‘If Trump’s not going to be on the stage, I’m not going to be voting Republican (if I even vote). ... “I’m toying with the idea of it.”
The Cheap Labor Express does not like that Trump is exposing their ownership of most of the GOP.
Trump is shining light on the fact that neither party is on the side of the citizens. Both parties want the invasion/cheap labor importation/colonization of our country to continue.
The citizens want it stopped.
I don’t like Donald Trump. Never wanted him to run for President.
But if he is the only way to stop the invasion against the combined efforts of most of our political “leaders”, I’ll be all in.
Don’t worry Mr. Jordan. Once the others respond to Trump’s comments there will only be Trump and Cruz left standing. Maybe JEB will run 3rd party.
Agreed. Nothing like this to rally the troops around Trump. I think it’s a mistake to limit the participants of the debate. This isn’t a beauty pageant. That said, Trump knows how to run those as well. :)
He will be banned. You see, that’s how the establishment rolls, They change the rules as they go along to suit their needs.
Anyone remember how the proportional delegate allocation in the 2012 Michigan primary was switched when Santorum would have taken more delegates than Romney? They refused to allow anyone other than Romney to win his “home” state.
Look for more of this in 2016.
Jeb is butt-hurt and so are his donors.
More on John Jordan. - Boehner's name comes up in the article.
Said donor profits from cheap labor and doesn’t care that the citizens are paying the true costs of his cheap labor.
Trump could not ask for better exposure. Mainstream Media, and Mainstream Republicans in Panic mode. PERFECT!
As Cruz rises they will try and silence him.
