The Republican Party’s donors have a brand new idea: let’s boycott those we disagree with! Will they never learn?

This means that those other candidates and the Republican Party’s leadership have to be smart about the way they deal with Trump. The best strategy is to … take him seriously. Yes, even when he’s bullying everybody else and saying outrageous things about them.
You see, Trump’s current popularity isn’t 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 they’re angrier than heck about it. Who can blame them? I know I don’t.
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. That’s why I was glad to see that Senator Ted Cruz did exactly that:

Great, but — sadly — a large part of the GOP’s donor class and establishment don’t quite understand this:
Many national Republican officials are increasingly resigned to Mr. Trump’s 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.

Works for me,,,give Trump even MORE uninterrupted air time for free,,,wooo-hooo!!
The smarmy sleazy DC elite have come down with a big case of “The Stupids”
Good.
So, now the GOP is going to become the Party of Sour Grapes.
Only a coward would skip the debate.
Pansies.
They are scared he will make them look foolish.
Walker is losing his cred as a free-thinking candidate. The other two never had any.

This has the potential to cause a ‘huge and series’ backlash against the GOP-e.
I’m not planning on voting for Trump but I will commit to saying that I WILL NOT VOTE for any candidate who boycotts a debate just because Trump is in it.
If you can’t handle debating Donald Trump then you can’t handle Putin or anyone else for that matter.
RINOs Walker, Rubio and Bush have identified themselves
as cowards, losers, wimps, and the whores and liars
they are known to be, already.
Fixed it.
The Uniparty cannot handle honest debate of issues important to the American people, is my takeaway from this.
If the GOPe weenies can’t even handle Trump, how will - as President - handle tough foreign leaders and dictators, or, our enemies? Like Obama, and BOW at their feet?
OK...let’m run and hide...we’ve had enough Cowards-In-Chief already.
This was what was TOLD TO the candidates BY the Establishment. This does not mean that they will do it.
I guarantee you one candidate besides Trump will be there without hesitation. Can you guess who?
That would make them liars. I don’t know about Walker, but Bush and Rubio are on the other side and are why we are so angry.
If they do that, the Trump rivals’ donations will dry up. I think it’s a losing strategy, aside form also being a wrong strategy in the sense of being only narrow short-sighted political strategy.
let em all stay home...time for someone to man up.
