Republican leaders who have watched Donald Trumps summer surge with alarm now believe that his presidential candidacy has been contained and may begin to collapse because of his repeated attacks on a Fox News Channel star and his refusal to pledge his loyalty to the eventual GOP nominee.
Fearful that the billionaires inflammatory rhetoric has inflicted serious damage to the GOP brand, party leaders hope to pivot away from the Trump sideshow and toward a more serious discussion among a deep field of governors, senators and other candidates.
They acknowledge that Trumps unique megaphone and the passion of his supporters make any calculation about his candidacy risky. After all, he has been presumed dead before: Three weeks ago, he prompted establishment outrage by belittling the Vietnam war service of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), only to prove, by climbing higher in the polls, that the laws of political gravity did not apply to him.

Voters are going to get rid of Trump over the nose bleeder Kelly? I don’t think so.
Yeah the COMPOST...that’s the ticket...they really don’t get rump,boy this is going to be fun!
The GOP, the party of Gay marriage by Romney’s imposition,
and of RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE, and of ObamaTRADE,
and of IRS Atrocities, deserves to die.
They lie, cannot be trusted, and are scum who revel
in the deaths of Terry Schiavo and US military
by al Qaeda. SCUM.

Oxymoron.
These idiots just don’t get it.
Trump has to be stopped.
The Cheap Labor Express has spent billions to stop us from stopping them.
Not so fast! I seriously doubt Trump is down and out over this. If anything, I suspect as the dust settles, he’ll be just fine. He’s got the money to ignore the pundits and political elite. Consider he’s gotten free advertising so far and even this weekend he is topic one everywhere. Can you imagine if they not only dismiss him but try to exclude him?! Won’t be pretty.
Riiiiiight....Consider the source.
What one pundit had to say:
“...the Fox News anchor enjoys a huge following among the networks viewers, who happen to make up the core of the Republican primary electorate. So picking a fight with Kelly as Trump did when he chided her during a tough debate question about insults hes lobbed at women, dissed her in the spin room, and tweeted his complaints about her carries risks that Trumps other feuds do not.
They’ve no idea what happens in the real world LOL!
Go ahead and rig the election for Bush and see how many people will stay home this time around
GOP is worry the party on the backs of hard working legal American citizens and the flesh and bones of innocent aborted baby cadavers is over.
I guess they haven’t see the Drudge Poll. I’m guessing the new polls next week show Trump surging.
Edit:
GOP is worried that the party on the backs of hard working legal American citizens and the flesh and bones of innocent aborted baby cadavers is over.
I’ve said worse things about Megyn Kelly on FR than Trump ever has. LOL!
R U drunk, or what?
My eyes are bleary...when I browsed this title I thought it said “erotic attacks hurt Trump” and I jumped: what had MyGynecology Kelly accused him of now.
and yet—Kelly herself claims to be neither Republican OR Democrat, and votes both ways.
I’d hardly think most Republicans would support her any more than most Democrats would support her if she hopped over to CNN.
