Getting Closer There Nel

LAS VEGAS — Donald Trump on Saturday claimed most of the money he's been collecting at his recent fundraisers is going to the Republican Party, but also threatened to cut the GOP off if support from the party wavers.
"Right now I'm raising a lot of money for the Republican Party, and a lot of beneficiaries to that, and I like doing it," Trump said.
"Life is like a two-way street, right?" Trump said. "They have to [help], otherwise I'll just keep doing what I'm doing, I'll just keep funding my own campaign…for me, that's the easy way," he said.
Trump's candidacy has been problematic for some in the GOP. Some Republican delegates in Colorado are moving forward with a plan to oust Trump at the party's convention. And House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday said he wouldn't instruct House members to vote for Trump, saying they should vote their conscience.
Trump in Las Vegas Saturday dismissed efforts to oust him at the convention as a "hoax" that was "made up by the press."
Trump also pointed out the grassroots effort haven't tapped an alternative.
"Who were they going to pick? I've beat everybody," Trump said. "But I don't mean beat, I beat the hell out of them, right? Beat the hell out of them."
Trump accused two of his former opponents — Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush — of being in on the effort.

Trump supporters need to announce that they will not vote for any Republican officeholder who doesn’t endorse Donald Trump.
Trump (last line in the article): “...it would be helpful if the Republicans could help us a little bit, you know, OK?”
Thoughts?
>>The GOPe is in the tank for Hillary, lock, stock and barrelhead. <<
That’s delusional. How have you ever managed to convince yourself of that? And you sound so certain too.
>>The rest of them are just flunkey appointees, hired hacks, and crooked politicians.<<
They are also the delegates to the GOP convention. You might want to consider that at some point, as should Trump.
Idiot bot. Think you can influence opinions here having signed up so recently? Think again, and off with you to DU where you belong.
He self funded his gop nomination race. He’s been exploring how he can raise money for the GOP and I’m sure himself without looking like he was renigging.
While I feel he is reneging a tad, I’m slightly favorable for him doing so. Hillary will have the DNC and half the RNC money at her disposal.
You forgot to bring your brain to this thread, do you remember where you left it?
Time for us and other Trump followers to donate his campaign to counter this bs. I did yesterday and will donate monthly until he wins in November. I did it Saturday:
Donald J. Trump For President
David,
Thank you for your generous donation. Your support matters now more than ever because the stakes are so high.
We must stop Crooked Hillary from ruining our country. We must thwart the slew of bias and lies the mainstream media is feeding America. We MUST win BIG in November and Make America Great Again! Your donation will help us accomplish this — and more.
Together, our voices are becoming louder and clearer, representing a bright new future for our great nation full of more opportunities for everyone, not just a select few.
We thank you for your continuous support,
Team TRUMP
I just go by what I see and hear. You may come to a different conclusion.
THE PRIMARY... He has proved that he has skin in the game. I think it is past the time to ask for individual citizen donations...people need to feel like they are part of his victory.
Haaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! You jumped on the bandwagon too???
I am out cooking shrimp and steak in the Green Egg and read your pithy response! I had to chuckle. Thank you. I envy you sitting there with your Natty Light and trying to come up with the response that will set Snark on his top! All on the 1996 HP desktop, 17 inch monitor and that AOL dialup sound from the 14.4k modem!!!!
Anyway. Enough of my silly stories! About time to eat!
Got it! Thanks!
Nancy Reagan piled on him like white of rice.
Campaign to date but not the general election. THAT requires about a billion dollars.
Our family used to give fairly heavily to campaign many years ago. Haven’t since Bob Dole was anointed. But for Trump, I’ll be happy to get back to writing checks.
“You forgot to bring your brain to this thread, do you remember where you left it?”
No kidding. It’s probably too small to be left out on its own.
$10 during your next trip to Wally World will fix you up.
I am going to post a piece this week on possible Trump campaign strategy. I’m still ruminating, but there is absolutely no reason to do it “like we always did it” (and lost).
