Top liberal leaders call for 'massive' anti-Trump campaign
Politico ^ | 3/15/2016 | GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI

Posted on 03/15/2016 5:35:34 AM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

CHICAGO — Leaders of more than 20 leading liberal groups supporting both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are set to release a scathing letter on Tuesday that serves as a progressive call to arms against Donald Trump, imploring Americans to undertake a unified set of concrete steps to oppose the Republican front-runner — from protesting to organizing large-scale voter turnout efforts.

“This is a five-alarm fire for our democracy. A hate-peddling bigot who openly incites violence is the likely presidential nominee of one of our nation’s two major parties. It is alarming and dangerous. Donald Trump’s candidacy is a threat to the America we love, and we must respond to him and what he is stoking as such,” reads the letter, which was obtained first by POLITICO. It is signed by top officials of Sanders-backing groups like MoveOn.org and Clinton-backing organizations including the Services Employees International Union.

Many of these groups have primarily focused on mobilizing their millions of members — and spending significant sums of money — for their preferred candidate in the Democratic primary thus far. The letter recognizes a significant shift in thinking among them, with leaders in the party’s left wing now setting their sights more squarely on Trump rather than the protracted battle between Clinton and Sanders. The signatures are acknowledgments from leaders of those organizations that the time has come to more seriously confront Trump — who could, they warn, actually win.

They don’t seem particularly concerned about the ever-surging Ted Cruz....

LOL! If Crudz gets the nomination, the same thing will happen, right down to a very literal "call to arms".

These threats are not to be taken lightly!
By ‘voter turnout’, they mean voter fraud!
The only way for us to overcome their fraud is by unity on our side and massive voter turnout!

Even if GOPe refuse to unite with us , We the people can unite and vote en mass for the one who is constitutionally eligible, truly loves America and Americans and who can lead us in the fight against the left’s violence and fraud!

Democrat politicians are afraid of Trump. They know he will win. They know the Democrat voters are moving to Trump.

Be afraid Democrat thugs. Be very afraid.

Well, Trump has been fighting his own party. I’d say he’s battle hardened.

No doubt. Hillary is a weak flaccid candidate. Trump is a movement. He would crush her effortlessly and they know it. They have to stop him now.

The leftist cretins are driven by mindless emotions fueled by lies and deceit. Trumps maim message points are stopping illegal immigration, building a strong military, bringing jobs back to America and fighting strong against terrorism. How does all this threaten the pampered, lil cretins way of life? I puke on them all the devil’s lying children.

I believe the threat may be much more than you anticipate::

It’s do or die for the left, and the only way to stop the will of the people is to shut down the entire process of election. That means fomenting a national emergency to the extent that the transfer of power is suspended, disrupted, mootified.

The left’s minions will do much more that beat people outside the polling places.

No, there telling us our vote shouldn’t count because we are too (uninformed” to know what is best for us.

Don't need no stinking poll(s) to tell me who the majority supports and the communists believe will win. This story tells me everything I need to know.

Heres hoping good ole George Soros and friends with your stupid, ignorant "open society" propaganda spend/waste 500 million dollars on another losing cause and after spending go to hell.

Blacks are going to become republicans after Trump is elected. The plantation will be dissolved, permanently.
