This report should make Donald Trump supporters angry! While taxpayers are often funding political debates, the Republican Party has the ultimate say over its own events. And while the GOP is supposed to stand for the principles of the Founding Fathers, it can be manipulated by the political establishment which can’t stand Trump’s conservative views.
The real reason why the GOP is focusing on Trump’s threat to run as a 3rd party candidate is it would give them grounds to boot him from future debates. The Republican Party, to protect its interests, is probably willing to boot the front-runner candidate. And they have savvy enough operatives, such as Karl Rove, who are ready to do it…

I don’t think for a second Rove & Co wouldn’t bend or even break the law in their quest to push Bush and face the consequences later.
The state republican party guys looted all of the regional republican party funding after the Cantor ‘boot’. I think the 2014 election soured half of the Republicans in the state and it’ll have harsh consequences for the 2016 election.
Go get em’ Trumpster..
They are not befuddled.
They want to rule like the democrats, they just want to be the ones pulling the levers.
None of what the democrats have done has really bothered any of the ruling gop-ers or rinos.
Rove may indeed be that stupid, but I would hope saner heads would prevail. Rove should have shot his wad in GOP circles by now.
I guarantee you - if they do this - they are committing political suicide.
GOOD..
The devil Rove is at work
So, do they think if they do this, we will succumb and vote for one of their establishment candidates? Not a chance! They can kiss 2016 off too.
A thought came to me this evening. Here in the “PreDawn Zone”. Imagine a country where the education system is populated entirely with persons of one political extreme and furiously intolerant of any perspective other than theirs. Also in this country we have bureaucrats of almost uniformity in their opinions and thought.
Over a period of decades the military which was once predominately of the other political thinking is gradually transformed through careful vetting of senior officers into a similar uniformity. in spite of the uniformity it previously had it was a civilian military with very high moral standards and had stayed out of the “culture war” that had been brewing but now it was in the hands of the same folks as the education system has become an “activist military”.
Imagine, as well that the politicians of this country making the laws had no respect for the very laws they were making. Imagine that while the military was being transformed so was the Judiciary in a similar manner.
On the other side of the political spectrum in our imaginary country we have all the folks who once had jobs in manufacturing or businesses that either made things or provided services to businesses that did. All the welders, machinists, engineers, etc. who no longer have careers in those formerly high paying professions and are now working at cash registers and such at a fraction of their former incomes. Still working in their 60s and 70s because their children have not been able to find jobs and live at home. Or their children just came home long enough to drop off a couple of grand kids.
The business owners have shuttered their businesses as they have been smothered in regulations written by bureaucrats that turned once profitable businesses into charities. When they realized they could simply pull the cash reserves from the business and live a comfortable but reduced lifestyle it seemed the smarter of the options.
Imagine that slowly the workers, the business owners, and their families and friends begin to realize they are being collectively punished by the educators, bureaucrats, politicians, Judiciary, and their friends. The other side has allowed central banks to print money because the government just could not make ends meet on the backs of the productive any longer. So what dwindling resources they do have are being siphoned off perhaps not out of necessity but as punishment for having a different set of beliefs. A different moral code.
Imagine that they realize that they have allowed all this to happen over the corse of decades not out of ignorance or disinterest but a sense of “civility” and they have known all along that they outnumbered the educators, judges, bureaucrats, and politicians. Imagine their previous attempts to get the attention of someone, anyone in the political process, in the judiciary, in their churches to coordinate some counter balance to what has been taking place had been thwarted by a dishonest media in conjunction with the politicians and their allies.
How can anyone contemplating such a country fail to see what happens next?
As bad as Trump haters may hate him, like the old “Black Avenger” used to say about lawyers. You can hate him but you have to admit he is better than the alternative.
Will not happen. You then guarantee a third party candidate AND the GOP will come in third
Pick the states. Probably not 24, probably only 5 or 6.
Sorry I pointed all that at you. I just had to get it off my chest.
That can’t be serious.
There’s no doubt that the socialist democrat progressives are working hard to transform America into a godless Marxist/fascist totalitarian state. And they’re getting damned close. Praying Cruz and Trump can wake the people up.
Trump Likely to be BANNED from Future Republican DebatesThat might have worked before the first debate. But the networks saw what he did for FAUX's ratings. NOT ONE NETWORK would air a debate with out Trump at this point...Not even for Jeb.
The debates just help the others get publicity. Trump doesn’t need the debates.
I really do believe that people are awake and have been. Until Trump folks like Lois Lerner had been successful in muffling our voices. Like I have said all along, Trump has (from Tsun Tsu) destroyed the carefully prepared battlefield. For that alone he deserves our gratitude.
Was thinking same thing. Someone should be asking themselves who made Rove in charge.
I don’t think the article proves its premise, mickey mouse article from a mickey mouse website.
sounds like sensational headline editing.
no evidence of that in the article, afaik...just speculation.
