Editor’s note: NBC News is reporting that key Republicans close to Donald Trump are plotting an intervention after what many pundits are calling a “disastrous” 48 hours, and party leaders are questioning whether Trump can stay at the top of the ticket without consequences for the GOP as a whole. Sources have told NBC News that RNC chair Reince Priebus, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among those trying to talk Trump into a reset of his campaign. In the last few days, Trump has repeatedly criticized a Gold Star family, declared he “always wanted” a Purple Heart, and refused to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain. Some Republicans are reportedly considering what would happen to the GOP ticket if Trump dropped out, but there has been no indication Trump is considering leaving the race. - Rebecca

“Trump has repeatedly criticized a Gold Star family, declared he “always wanted” a Purple Heart, and refused to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain.”
Good. That’s exactly what I would have wanted him to do.
Those political animals planning an “intervention” need to be fired. The only mistake I see Trump making (IMO) is in allowing members of our irredeemably corrupt political class near him.
NBC reporting........ ugh. Saw Paul Manifort (awesome dude) this AM. Said “news to me” about some intervention. Hogwash it is.
Any chance Ryan could lose?
