More spending is expected over the next two weeks, which could be decisive in determining whether Trump is the nominee, sources at the Club said.

Club for Growth (let’s get names on these guys), ...

Get names! I am guilty of calling out the MSM but not naming them. And Sheryl Attkinsson said it was the "gatekeepers" who prevented stories from appearing on national news. Who are these gatekeepers? Who are these Club for Growth people?

[full disclosure - Cruz supporter]

CFG is thinking that they can be the pebble that starts the rock fall that starts the avalanche. The problem is they are not even on the same mountain.

Trump does not need their money and if Trump wanted to, could replace their funds to other congressional candidates. So their starting assumption that only their money counts is a flawed starting point.

“The “Club for making America, Tijuana North”,”

LOL....an apt description.

“Club for Growth”

I thought it was a political club, not an actual beat down club.

A threat to cut off funding can work two ways. It’s a two-edged sword.

They will figure it out as their own funding dries up.

Fact is, I honestly believe that Trump will negotiate far better deals for the US economy than any DNC, Progressive, or GOPe candidate.

I also believe that Trump’s efforts with corporate America and his tax plans and other initiatives will bring back millions of jobs from offshore.

These are all things that the Club for Growth should be for. But IMHO they are abandoning those aims for political expediency...and it is not going to work out for them.

CFG tried to hit Trump up for Million dollar$ last spring and he turned them down. Let that color everything they’ve said about him since then.

What more do we need to see for proof that the big money is blackmailing a political system? Let’s look at reality, Donald Trump is a well known successful businessman. There is no legitimate reason to be reacting this way. This is all about cheap labor and illegal immigration.

I suppose that when I sent back their mailer with a pretty direct obscenity written on it in thick black marker, they took me off their list of “targets.” Or, should I say “victims.” Or, maybe “marks.”

Either way, they are about as likely to get anything from me as the Sanders campaign.

F U Club for Growth...this is a free country and any citizen has the right, guaranteed by the Constitution, to free speech.

This free speech includes the ability to state who someone is endorsing without fear of reprisal or incarceration. In fact, that very freedom to be able to speak out against the establishment is why this nation was founded.

The establishment is behaving very much like King George 3rd and the Tories.

So we should hit any Republican US Senators and HOR members who won't support Trump with the question of why they take their marching orders from the Club for Growth. And they should all be GONE!!

FWIW, I would worry less even if it's dems who take their place. They'll know that it's voters who held their elected officials accountable that opened the office for them.

I’m waiting for the first female caller from anywhere like this asking for money or whatever to ask her “what color panties do you have on?”

Club for Growth

What is that? Is that like Hair Club for Men for Mexicans. Do they provide HGH? Everybody walking through my neighborhood is 4' 7"

The GOPe and their cheap-labor owners are going full Mississippi on Trump today.
