Club for Growth warns against Trump endorsements
Politico ^ | 3/1/16 | BURGESS EVERETT

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.

One thing you’ve got to admit about Trump. He’s got all the right enemies.

Club for Growth of Hair?

What growth have they ever done? Grow the illegal alien population and as a result increase US Citizen unemployment.

Traitors to their own countrymen.

What does the Club for Growth actually grow? I’m guessing they are trying to grow the 3rd World invasion.

See the President of the USA has the Bully Pulpit and the veto pen.

Trump is not for sale, and he isn’t going to sign bills that reward the Donor class, unless it means American Jobs, not illegal alien jobs.

So the Donor Bribers of Congress are worried the gravy train is going to be derailed under Trump.

Someone is going to look out for us, for a change.

I would think Trump has shown that the money in the GOP has no principals and hate the voters.

They wish they could change money for Voters.

The last caller to Rush got Rush livid

A Texan called and told Rush he would never vote for Cruz because he hated liar

Rush asked about about what

He said no doubt the first one was stealing Votes from Ben Carson

Rush freaked out by trying to blame Rubio , then CNN

Rush blew a up.

“Have you ever seen such opposition to any one man?”

They haven’t gotten the message yet: no more.

We can do this the easy way, or it can happen the hard way, but it is going to happen.
