The Club for Growth is issuing a warning to its stable of congressional candidates this fall: Endorse Donald Trump and you might just lose your backing.
.
.
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 Extortion
Agreed.
But the elites in both parties, the MSM and big money donors are stuck on stupid because their money (not ideas) is what has allowed them to buy every election since 1985.
Not since Reagan has there been an anti-establishment candidate that supersedes the power of big money. Not only does Trump not need their money, he doesn’t need them or their support either which both pisses them off and terrifies them simultaneously.
Oh, the sounds of their mental masturbation, weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth is truly music to my ears.
*sniffle* I’m so happy!
CFG has already spent over $3 million attacking Trump ads.
All these organizations start out having integrity. Over time ALL go corrupt.
Remember that parties and organizations go bad after twenty yrs or so. We need to be alert to evil all the time. Don’t get complacent.
I heard roger stone on the radio this morning..local talk station..He said he needed to word this very very carefully.
According to stone this is what transpired.
Cruz’s “people” approached Trump’s “people” the gest was Cruz would drop out and pledge to Trump if Trump appointed Cruz to the Supreme Court. This was taken to Trump..Trump ran this thru his attorneys and Trump was informed this was/is illegal. Trump turned Cruz down cold.
Then, according to stone, Cruz offered the same deal to Rubio. At that point Stones accounts stopped.
I have no idea if this has happened Im just reporting what stone said on the radio this morning.
Stone went on to describe how power brokers within the party, with the help of Romney, can play various games to take the nomination away from Trump.....possible having delegates CHANGE their minds after the first round.
Criminal prosecution?
Club For Growth? Isn’t that a Soros supported group just like the Human Rights Campaign (but only for homosexual humans)
The Cheap Labor Express has every intention of stopping us from electing anyone who would enforce the laws and borders.
The maggots in the donor class still don’t understand what is happening to them. but Trump will explain it to them soon.
In the words of a famous commander when told to surrender..
NUTS!!!
The Club for Growth was founded in 1999 by Stephen Moore, Thomas L. Rhodes, and Richard Gilder. Moore served as the first president of the Club from 1999 until December 2004, when board members voted to remove Moore as president. Pennsylvania United States Senator Pat Toomey served as president from 2005 through 2009. The Club’s current president is former Indiana Congressman David McIntosh.
The Club fought to support the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement in 2005, running print advertisements in local Beltway publications in the Washington, DC area. According to Roll Call, “Former Rep. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), president of the Club for Growth, a CAFTA supporter
In 2007, the Club for Growth opposed protectionist policies against China. Senators Chuck Schumer of New York and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina had proposed a bill to apply large tariffs on Chinese imports if that country did not increase the value of its currency. In response, the Club sponsored a petition of 1,028 economists who stated their opposition to protectionist policies against China. The list of economists included Nobel Laureates Finn Kydland, Edward Prescott, Thomas Schelling, and Vernon Smith. The petition played off a similar petition that was also signed by 1,028 economists in 1930 that opposed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.
Club for Growth “grew out of the Political Club for Growth,” a group that had been founded by stockbroker Richard Gilder. Gilder founded Gilder Gagnon Howe & Company, a private investment fund, in the 1960s.
Stephen Moore had been involved in the Political Club for Growth from its beginning, but by the 1990s wanted to take on a leadership role in order to turn the group into a more powerful influence in Washington. At the time, Moore was a fellow at the Cato Institute.[36] Club for Growth was “founded in 1999 by Moore (now a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board); National Review president Dusty Rhodes; Cato Institute president Ed Crane; stockbroker Richard Gilder; and Larry Kudlow, a former Reagan adviser and co-host of CNBC’s Kudlow & Cramer,” and other like-minded people. (Former president Pat Toomey is now the junior senator representing Pennsylvania.

Thank you for the information on the GOPe.
SJB
Holy crap, I hate these people more every day
Agree, thanks for the response. Hopefully, we can all keep this thing civil here, even with the Cruz and Rubio supporters.
“Don’t get complacent.”
That is exactly what’s wrong with this country. And when you are not complacent, you’re told you’re a troublemaker.
As long as I draw breath I will be one.
This should make Cruzbio supporters all warm and fuzzy. Now they’re playing for the same team as GOPe like Club for Mexico’s Growth. Birds of a feather...
In the spirit of Alinsky, I, in my capacity of a member of that august body known as "WE the People", the true power of this nation, hereby dub this individual "Count Chocolo" ;P...
the infowarrior
Chicola left.
It’s now David McIntosh
both are former Indiana congress persons
Chicola took out Dem Jill Long (a good thing) but later lost to Obamaphile Joe Donnelly who then took Lugar’s Senate seat.
