The Republican Partys donors have a brand new idea: lets boycott those we disagree with! Will they never learn?

This means that those other candidates and the Republican Partys leadership have to be smart about the way they deal with Trump. The best strategy is to take him seriously. Yes, even when hes bullying everybody else and saying outrageous things about them.
You see, Trumps current popularity isnt about him, but about conservative anger. Conservative voters are pissed beyond measure: they feel ignored by their party, they believe amnesty for illegal aliens is all but a done deal, and theyre angrier than heck about it. Who can blame them? I know I dont.
Instead of vilifying Trump, other Republicans have to make clear that they understand conservatives anger and concerns. They have to start talking about the issues he has raised illegal immigration and the crime related to it, first and foremost. Thats why I was glad to see that Senator Ted Cruz did exactly that:

Great, but sadly a large part of the GOPs donor class and establishment dont quite understand this:
Many national Republican officials are increasingly resigned to Mr. Trumps looming presence. At a meeting of the Republican Governors Association this week in Aspen, Colo., donors and operatives mused about how to prevent him from hijacking the debate.

They really are the party of stupid, aren’t they? Most are going to tune in to hear Trump. Not too many care what Rubio, Walker and Bush have to say anyway. They are dead meat as far as I’m concerned.
sounds more and more like a third party will emerge out of all this. Perhaps, a CPA party = Conservative Politicians of America party.
I agree with you. I would never vote for trump but I will not vote for any canadate that wont face him in a debate.
The GOPe will have the debate audience packed with payed shills to boo Trump at every opportunity...just wait.
Yankee malcontents from the NeoEuropa states that should be purged are pissed
paid shills...my kingdom for an edit button! :-)
I just had a brilliant idea. The real men should form a new party, The Conservative Politicians of the United States of America. The candidate would go on the ballot as the candidate of CPUSA and would gather huge number of votes from putative Democrats.
More like a big case of “The Shakes”.
The GOP Establishment is at a fork in the road at this time, with two very different outcomes depending on the choice they make. Diss The Donald only at your own great peril, or embrace his presence, and possibly have the firepower to make it through the coming confrontation.
English political power brokers, in their high haughty manner, regarded Winston Churchill to be a “dangerous man”.
Until they realized that Adolf Hitler was a MUCH more dangerous man to face.
I wager ‘me too’ Perry and Graham would join the boycott, if it does happen — when I doubt.
Can’t swear I wouldn’t vote for Trump but would definitely NOT vote for anyone too chicken to debate with him.
And any candidate who is foolish enough to do this: the voters will “boycott” YOU!
He could, on the next night, insert himself into the debate by filming it, then making a video in which he responds to each question, and to each answer from his erstwhile competitors.
That is absolutely brilliant!
If they keep this up, I’m tempted to jump on the Trump bandwagon just to shove him down their throats.
They are scared he will make them look foolish.

He is already doing that and succeeding. He is also exposing them for their hypocrisy, weakness and corruption.
so now we know who the effete elites have anointed as acceptable losers to hitlary!
There are FIVE UNDERSTUDIES ready to replace them.
if bush, Rubio and walker do this. they should be banned from all future debates too.
The GOP-e candidates are not interested in fixing the nation’s problems. They are only interested in getting themselves elected.
¡YEB! and Rubberio have been upfront about siding with the illegal aliens and their employers. They want to turn the U.S.A. into North Mexico.
Walker says he’s changed his mind, but I remain very suspicious.
The illegal alien inundation MUST be stopped.
It is the ONLY issue.
Yeah, I like how the headline reads “Republican Donors” when they only mean the top hat and monocle crowd which, while they may make up a considerable share of the donations, make up a microscopic slice of the electorate.
