GOP ELITES PLOT TO PURGE TRUMP
WND ^

Posted on 08/13/2015 4:36:10 PM PDT by xzins

In the Cleveland debate, Donald Trump refused to commit to support whomever the Republican Party nominates in 2016.

Trump would be wise to maintain his freedom of action.

For there is a plot afoot in the Washington Post Conservative Club to purge Trump from the Republican Party before the primaries begin.

“A political party has a right to … secure its borders,” asserts the Post’s George Will, “a duty to exclude interlopers.” Will wants The Donald “excommunicated” and locked out of all GOP debates until he kneels and takes a loyalty oath to the nominee.

“Marginalizing Trump” carries no risk of “alienating a substantial Republican cohort,” Will assures us, for these “Trumpites” are neither Republicans nor conservatives. Better off without such trash.

The Post’s Michael Gerson says “establishment Republicans” must “make clear that [Trump] has moved beyond the boundaries of serious and civil discourse.” He loathes the Trumpites as much as Will.

Trump’s followers are “xenophobic,” Gerson tells CNN. They have a “resentment of outsiders, of Mexico, of China, and immigrants. That’s more like a European right-wing party, a UKIP or a National Front in France. Republicans can’t incorporate that.”

But if the GOP has no room for Trump’s followers, it has no future. For there simply aren’t that many chamber-of-commerce and country-club Republicans.

Trump should tell the GOP, in the neocons’ favorite phrase, “All options are on the table.” And that includes the Samson Option.

Trump should tell the GOP that if it disrespects him and his followers, then he is prepared to do as did the biblical hero Samson, when, blinded and mocked by the Philistines, he pushed the pillars apart and brought the temple down upon the heads of them all.

Yes Walker is one of the three amigos of the RNC / Gope donor set. Jebbie then Walker and Rubio even though Caryl maybe replacing Rubio.
She is the new RNC attack dog against Trump .

Trump is appealing to so many apolitical types it’s scaring the elites. The 20-30 something y/o guys (who aren’t political) connect to Trump when he says he’s going to “destroy ISIS and take the oil”. Or build a “totally massive wall and make Mexico pay for it”. The political class mocks and laughs, but the regular folks eat it up. Trump is a genius marketer.

If something like this were to happen, it would be totally on the GOPe’s head now and then.

the elites are terrified of losing control. Without control there is no power for them. The elites are just the old man behind the curtain controlling the great and powerful wizard of oz

Okay. But first, present the first iota of evidence that either of your statements is factual.

So we finally found a border that the GOPe actually wants to secure: the border of the Republican party, keeping out all those xenophobes who want things like a border wall, and an actual immigration policy.

Most TEA voters are now backing someone other than a hated conservative.

No, if he goes indy he will gain millions if indys and dems that you couldnt get to vote R with a gun to their head.

I'm in a "traditionally Democrat" part of Iowa, surrounded by people who wouldn't vote Republican if they got free beer for a year by doing so... and these people like their beer. There have already been a couple of the talkative ones in my circle showing interest in Trump, basically because they are fed up with EVERYbody. They've been screwed, blued and tattooed by the PTB and they know it, but as you said, the Republican brand has been like poison to them.
