Does the RNC have a secret anti-Trump war room?
CNN ^ | 8/20/15 | Chris Frates

Posted on 08/20/2015 7:27:15 PM PDT by markomalley

The Republican National Committee is running a secret war room to take out Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Or so says Roger Stone, the former Trump political adviser, who still supports Trump.

Stone told CNN that he's absolutely convinced the Republican Party is trying to knock the celebrity billionaire out of the race because he's not the candidate of the establishment elite.

Answer to the question: yes, absolutely!

Of Course, who expected less? And the room is so damn crowded with all those ‘happy warriors’ standing awaiting their orders to fire and how to fire. From the Ego elite,George Will to far across the waters to UK. Each get their turn and each seems to miss the mark. If Mitch must do whatever in Mississippi, the RNC must do whatever where ever possible.

Too bad they don’t have an anti-Obama war room.

But if they did, I’m sure it would generate nothing useful, just as does their putative anti-Trump war room.

This is so because you can have as many war rooms as you like. You can have war rooms within war rooms, but if your war rooms are populated by second-raters whose only talent is BS-ing voters to get elected, you aren’t going to produce anything but hot air and restaurant bills.

It does not matter. The GOPe has so alienated the base they will be gone sooner or later. Either they will be voted out or the party will disband. I will never vote for any GOPe again and I am not alone.

I am less that happy being called a hobbit, crazy, or uninformed. It use to be that the party actually stood for something. Now they attack the base and sell out when ever they will get something.

I am done with the Bushes, Grahms, and McCain posers.

The answer is yes. Without a doubt. And most of those big players in the War Room have a big influence on what the media reports and how they report it. The GOPe is scared to death of Trump. What they are too stupid to realize is that they have damaged their brand beyond all recognition, and without Trump to breathe new life into it, the party is toast.

Trump realizes all of this. And this is his leverage. The GOPe has to find a way to destroy him without leaving fingerprints. But a significant portion of the electorate doesn’t need to see fingerprints anymore. We KNOW.

Its fascinating to watch it play out. But if it goes the wrong way, if the GOPe succeeds in its suicide, we are in for terrible times. Times that would make the reign of Barry seem like a cakewalk.

It’s the Cantor Memorial Room. Formerly used for that Cochran genius.

Yes, and if any GOPe chicanery kicks him out unfairly, I will vote democrat to be sure my vote hurts them twice as much as my just staying home.

What’s funny about all this, is that we have seen much of it before. It’s playing out quite a bit like the 1979 Ronald Reagan campaign.

George Bush was supposed to be the GOPe darling, and he was. Reagan came in, caught fire, and the GOPe nearly self-combusted.

Here we go again. The establishment crafted their efforts so perfectly that they even let Democrats help them defeat another Reagan.

And then a funny thing happened on the road to perfection.

Donald Trump.

I don’t know why, but the GOPe is scared to death of Reagans or Trumps. Perhaps it’s the fact a highly visible man will out them for exactly who they are.

Trump, you’ve got my vote.

Call it a protest vote or anything you like, I’m not going to be voting for someone I can’t stand in 2016.

No more Doles, Bushes, McCains, or Romney’s need apply.

Trump/Cruz 2016

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, GOPe.

Being Trump has destroyed the GOPe road-map(see——http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/08/20/how-all-the-candidates-fit-in-the-overall-gope-road-map-the-big-picture/ ), they definitly do now.
