Top GOP Donor Wants Donald Trump Banned from First Debate
Brietbart ^ | July 7, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 07/12/2015 4:29:08 PM PDT by QT3.14

A top establishment Republican donor reportedly wants Donald Trump banned from the first presidential debate... And that is not sitting well with some of the party’s top donors, many of whom favor pro-amnesty legislation and do want to see their establishment darlings like Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

80%

challenged on the issue.

According to an Associated Press report, “Republican donor John Jordan said Monday that GOP leaders should take steps to block Trump’s access to the first presidential debate in early August.”

“Someone in the party ought to start some sort of petition saying, ‘If Trump’s going to be on the stage, I’m not going to be on there with him,'” Jordan told the AP. “I’m toying with the idea of it.”

Snot nosed people who think they can run over people because they have money may find they don’t really have much influence over a man with billions of dollars. They would have no reason for living.

Excellent idea. Are you paying attention Jeb? Christie? Marco?

He is no doubt a good guy but his ego has reached critical mass. He also appears regularly on the Hugh Hewitt show, a show I no longer listen to due to Hugh’s verbal abuse of his producer Duane.

Trying to ban Trump from the debate, or stopping him from being in the debate, will only help Trump.

Please do! Rubio and Bush could drop out instead of face Trump. That would be the final nail in the coffins of their already walking dead campaigns.

Why don’t those rich donors just buy 90 minutes of airtime on FoxNews and have their own debate with whom they prefer?

Or just have a 90 minute infomercial about Jeb.

"BUY!??? As in PAY!??? That's what these campaign contributions are for!!! Our employees - I mean, politicians - do that kind of work, not us."

Where was Marc Rubio when Romney marched right into Ben & David Rhodes’ TRAP hosted by Candy Crowley, masquerading as a debate?

We should do massive calls to GOP and tell them if they ban Trump from debates we’ll stay home.

I really want Cruz but Trump is fearless in telling it like it is in America. I am tired of the same ole politician diatribe in elections.

I know this, Trump loves America, Trump wants the border secured, Trump wants to charge Mexico for the border wall, he wants to charge a tariff for all those companies moving to Mexico. He would tell our enemies to go pound sand. He would bring back our allies.

Never thought I would say this- but go Trump Go. I’m tired of the same ole menu we are forced to order from out of fear of a Democrat winning elections. We got stabbed in the back again from the GOP/Rino’s in the last election.

You know what I find ironic?

This is *exactly* what Trump was addressing in his speech yesterday. How all of the other politicians were beholden to their donors and lobbyists.

This guy is simply *making* Trump’s point for him.

The donors and lobbyists have only their own interests at heart, they own the politicians, and we (the little guy) have no real say in our country. We’re getting squished by this system.

If Trump can crush that money source to the GOPe, he’s already done something good for Conservatism.

Thanks Trump.

Jordan’s threat borders on extortion! I guess this donor is one of the clowns who believe in “Free Speech,” just so long as it’s the speech he permits. The RNC does not need this type of jerk!

Giuliani said on some fox interview last week that we need to keep immigration going in order to keep the California wine industry viable

Apparently it’s big. Oh and Americans won’t do the work

Heck why should they? Government pays them to do nothing
