GOP Establishment Targets Trump
The New American ^ | November 23, 2015 | Bob Adelmann

Posted on 11/23/2015 2:18:08 PM PST by detective

The latest poll results from Rasmussen weren't cheered by the GOP establishment, which has been holding its breath for months, hoping that the frontrunner would fade and allow someone more willing to toe the establishment's line to come to the fore.

The poll, taken last week, wasn't encouraging: 63 percent of Likely Republican Voters think Donald Trump will be the Republican Party's nominee for president (up from 59 percent the week before), while 51 percent of all likely voters agree.

Trump's claim that President Obama's decision to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States next year is the "ultimate Trojan horse" continues to resonate with voters who, according to Rasmussen, oppose Obama's decision.

"a new "guerilla" offensive, called Trump Card LLC, headed up by a couple of former Republican National Committee operatives, Liz Mair and Rick Wilson. In the memo Mair called the group "highly confidential" so that donors won't be tied to the group directly. Noted Mair, "Their fingerprints will be kept off things."

Liz Mair. A wannabe ‘player’.

Rick Wilson. A total douche bag. We’ve already heard too much from his whining ass.

If THEY are the best that Priebus, Rove & Company can come up with, Trump has NO worries at all!

Sure would be nice if they would spend just half the resources they use attacking Trump to attack Hitlery and the Bern. Just sayin’. Screw the GOP. A dead party, that will only be revived by Trump/Cruz 2016, Cruz/??? 2024. Period. That’s the only saving grace for the GOP. If it ain’t Trump/Cruz 2016, say good bye to the GOP

Trump is destroying Rove.

Rove laughs with inner circle night after night, but the laughs are turning from with to at.

Trump is destroying American laughing stock Carl Rove.

Soon, Rove will be asked to leave the room.

Isn’t this written by a liberal? How real can his ‘concern’ be?

Trump: I’d like to offer you the VP position. Will you accept?
Cruz: I’d like to take some time in considering this Donald. Can you give me a few days?
Trump: My administration will be built on deals. If you cannot give me an answer now, I’ll start discussing the VP position with Sarah Palin.
Ted, what is your decision?

Really. Bears repeating. Especially when the party’s base and a large swath of independents are behind that candidate.

Good luck GOPe. Trump will take you down before you take him down.

Their goal is, according to the memo, to discourage Trump supporters from voting at all.”

Well, if they can nuke Trump, they won’t have to spend another penny to achieve THAT goal. Of course, not only will the GOPe lose the Presidency at that point, they’ll lose the down-ticket races as well, and probably permanently destroy the Republican party, which might not be such a bad thing if the rich GOPe string-pulling plutocrats and oligarchs have enough influence to thwart the will of the bulk of GOP voters.
