It looks like the GOP elites are absolutely intent on running Trump out of the race so they can control the process. The Party now determines who should be eligible to run and who meets their approval. Cruzs Washington Cartel analogy was right! Last week GOP leader Reince Priebus defended Megyn Kelly and FOX News after the controversial debate where they planned zingers for the Republican candidates. This week he approved Hugh Hewitt, who has frequently spoken out against the GOP front-runner Donald Trump, to be debate moderator at the next Republican debate.

Rancid Priebus makes a great spokesman for the dying Republicrat party.
Kelly is a spotlight-seeking bimbo who talked for over 35 minutes during the 1 hour 40 minute debate.
FOX News is just another left-of-center phony news source.

Were we expecting anything else from these people? You know anyone they endorse is going to be bought, paid for and won’t give a sh!t about the unwashed masses only their own power and wealth building.

This former Wisconsin and probably still, Walker crony knows Trump can’t be bought, so is part of the Washington cartel out to destroy the non party elite.

This is exactly why Trump shouldn’t commit to running as a Republican.

Priebus looks like a rat.
He is a worthless S.O.B.
To: HomerBohn
Yeah, I think the moderators were fair, Priebus said... they opened themselves up to the process. So you know what? It really doesnt matter whether its fair or not.
Trump said yesterday so far they have been fair, singling out Rinse. Maybe not so much now?

I don’t believe this crap for a minute.
Trump said yesterday that he’s being treated fairly by Priebus. All these articles posted to day are to cause mischief.
I say, announce today that you are NOT going to go third party, and you will get the full support of all of us, and the RNC.
Let’s get on with it. Let’s coalesce now around one candidate now....
The candidate for me is TRUMP. I want to STUMP for TRUMP!!!

This should bring what percentage of Trump supporters back in the fold? It also gives Trump great ammo for why he shouldn’t promise not to go third party.

The RNC will not stop trying to kill off Trump even if he pledges not to run 3rd party. In fact they would get even worse.
Trump is a lot of things but not stupid or naive.
To: Fido969
Oh, for goodness sake. 15 more months of this stupidity? Well, it IS the stupid party. Besides, the DC Oligarchy can afford to be stupid.

If Trump makes that promise the RNC elite will find a way to manipulate delegate votes to disfavor Trump. Besides that, if Trump doesn't make that promise, it might mean they'll have to dump Jeb, which should be our first priority.
I'd think we have to have the option of Trump third party if it's Jeb vs hillary.

This is what the Fox moderators stole from the candidates and the viewers on Thursday night. They usurped the role of rebuttal and made the candidates individually argue their positions with themselves instead of the other candidates. And then knowing this was going to be the format, they staged meaningless personal questions that had no viable rebuttal opportunities from the other candidates.
What candidate is going to interject in the middle of a crude mysogeny question? What candidate is going to rebut an "any word from God" question? What candidate is going to jump into Megyn Kelly's question to Jeb Bush that "your brother's war was a mistake" or the Bush dynasty question?
There were a half-dozen questions where one candidate was asked to attack another candidate.
- Wallace to Rubio: Could you please address Governor Bush across the stage here, and explain to him why you, someone who has never held executive office, are better prepared to be president than he is...
- Wallace to Cruz: Senator Cruz, your colleague, Senator Paul, right there next to you, said a few months ago he agrees with you on a number of issues, but he says you do nothing to grow the party...
- Wallace to Trump: Governor Bush has called those remarks, quote, extraordinarily ugly. Id like you youre right next to him tell us talk to him directly and say how you respond to that...
- Kelly to Christie: Do you really believe you can assign blame to Senator Paul just for opposing he bulk collection of peoples phone records in the event of a terrorist attack?
- Baier to Rubio: Senator Rubio, why is Governor Bush wrong on Common Core?
- Wallace to Christie: Governor Huckabee says he can save Social Security and Medicare without doing any of that. Is he lying?
- Kelly to Bush: Governor Bush, I want to ask you, on the subject of name calling of your fellow candidates, a story appeared today quoting an anonymous GOP donor who said you called Mr. Trump a clown, a buffoon...
With questions like that, how can we truly see the positions of each candidate? When the questions are lowball and undeserving of the stature of Governors, Senators, and business leaders, then why should we take seriously the fallout from such a farce.
