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.
The conservative group, which specializes in supporting outsider candidates that challenge centrist-leaning Republicans, is actively considering denying endorsements to any candidate that endorses Trump while the primary is still being contested, according to a source familiar with the Club's endorsement process. The reason: The Club hates Trump's "liberal views on economic policy."
"A Trump endorsement, before anyone clinches the nomination, would be viewed as a serious error in judgment, and would be more difficult to reconcile with the kind of fiscal conservative who would ordinarily meet the Club PAC's rigorous standards for endorsement," the source said.

NO but I’ve never seen any candidate threaten their power base so directly as Trump does. He’s not exaggerating, if he wins, they’re ability to influence legislation and get what they want like amnesty is going down the tubes.
The word conservative got hijacked by the Cheap Labor Express (CLE). Pro America first nationalists need to start calling themselves patriots instead of conservative. Patriotism and conservatism do not overlap very much anymore.
It blows my mind how absolutely OWNED this party is by the Donors. No matter what happens in this election...nothing will ever be the same again. Thank God!
The party being OWNED is why we are with Trump!!!
Hey C for G. Look me up in your database. See where I haven’t donated in a long, long time? This is why. The next donation check I write is far more likely to go to Trump than it is to you or any of your endorsed cheap labor express toadies.
Another so called conservative outfit that has nothing to show for the
tens of millions of dollars that has been donated to them.

How cute. They actually think Trump can be stopped at this point.
13 LOSSES out of 22 supported
Club for ... what? Never heard of `em.
Has the Hair Club for Men endorsed anyone?
It does appear that the Republican base has finally revolted against the corrupt GOP-e.
Long live the revolution!
“Have you ever seen such opposition to any one man?”
Not just any man. The GOP is going to war against their own front runner.
It’s sheer madness, the likes of which we haven’t seen since Reagan took them by surprise, and seized the nomination on a wave of popular support.
Looks like deja vu all over again!
Not just any man. The GOP is going to war against their own front runner.
GOPe are running against the top of the ticket. Total insanity. These are historic times. The rebellion is on!
You know they’re afraid, it’s going to happen....President Trump.
