Private memo: How GOP to deal with Trump as nominee
WND ^ | 12/2/2015

Posted on 12/02/2015 12:34:28 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Donald Trump has become such a force in the Republican Party that the official overseeing next year's Senate races has proposed a delicate strategy for GOP candidates: tap into Trumpism without mimicking Trump.

In a seven-page, confidential memo that imagines Trump as the party's nominee, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee urges candidates to adopt many of Trump's tactics, issues and approaches -- right down to adjusting the way they dress and how they use Twitter.

In the memo on the "Trump phenomenon," NRSC executive director Ward Baker said Republicans should embrace his tough talk about China and "grab onto the best elements of [his] anti-Washington populist agenda." Above all, they should appeal to voters as genuine and beyond the influence of special interests.

Proverbs 20:3

“It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.”

You do Trump no favor.

I like Trump. But your nasty-assed attitude causes me to be opposed to you.

Agreed, this attitude that anyone who isn't a 100% for Trump is [fill in the blank] aren't helping.

Trump IS NOT the most conservative candidate, nor is he the most qualified candidate. These aren't criticisms of Trump, it's just the truth.

But Trump is the only non-politician at the top of the field which means he is more believable than the rest. He didn’t get where he is in business by being dishonest and playing with words/meanings.

Me, I don’t care what make of bulldozer he’s using to clear the brush.
So long as he’s tearing that crap apart I’m liking it.

Mindless cheerleading, though, is a detriment.

Acting as if one is “called by God” and doing so just rustles my Jimmies.

But Cruz is the only non-reality TV celebrity at the top of the field which means he is more believable than the rest.

He didn’t get where he is in business by being dishonest and playing with words/meanings.

That statement has absolutely no foundation.

PLENTY of people have gotten to where Trump is in business by being dishonest (Bernard Madoff).

Now, I AM NOT saying that Trump is dishonest, I'm simply pointing out that business success doesn't necessarily equate to honesty.

IMPEACH THE MORON NOW!
(My new pre-tag-line tag line)

That ship sailed so long ago, but they irrationally keep a death grip on their special access to status, power, and the opportunity for direct and indirect wholesale theft.

There is, literally, no rational argument to trust the incumbents further now, or in the future.

I disagree with you on qualifications. He is the premier executive which is what the presidency used to be. The idiots that are ruining/running the show now are the ones that have no experience.

What an abysmally stupid statement!

Reality is the foundation.
In the present political, corrupt atmosphere, any dirt that has ever existed would have been found and revealed by now, and if none exists, would have been invented and refuted.
How old are you anyway?

Are you aware that Obama and all the power and money his government controls has every possible dirt merchant busy 24/7?

What monumental arrogance.

Sorry to break it to you, but your opinion does not define truth.

Seriously.

Herbert Hoover was an incredibly successful business executive and he WAS NOT even an average president.
