GOP establishment 'to unleash on Trump after Labor Day'
WND ^ | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 08/31/2015 12:16:59 PM PDT by RoosterRedux

The Republican establishment is reportedly about to launch a massive blitz of commercials after Labor Day to take down front-runner Donald Trump in his quest for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

“The hottest conversation that’s going on right now in the donor community among the anti-Trump donors, is how do you take down Donald Trump, and what’s the vehicle to do it,” CNN’s Maeve Reston told her network colleague John King on Sunday.

But party officials are said to be too timid to attack Trump directly.

“There are a lot of donors out there who see it as much too dangerous, obviously, for the candidates, or their allied super PACs, to go after Trump,” Reston said. “So they’re looking to more establishment PACs to potentially take him down in post-Labor Day ads.”

Radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh saw the report, and agrees with the premise “the Republican establishment is preparing to unleash on Trump after Labor Day.”

“Now they aren’t going to do it with their fingerprints on it,” Limbaugh explained. “They are looking for PACs that have no ties to current Republican candidates. They don’t want any fingerprints of the party directly on whatever this smear of Trump is going to be.”

Trump gives as good/better than he gets, and he’s got more money than the RNC.
This should be entertaining .... for us!

What have I been wrong about? The GOP establishment has no reason to oppose Trump, and by now they know it won’t do hurt him.

Can he go it alone?

He could host the convention in any one of his hotels. If the GOP would get its collective head out of its arse, Trump would probably offer them one of his convention centers for free.

Sorry but I am confused. Isn’t the enemy the jackass people not the fellow pachyderms?

They demand that Trump pledge loyalty to the party while that same party establishment is out to destroy him.

The GOP had better watch their step with this. It could finish them off permanently.

I prefer only Cruz and Ben Carson over Trump, but these ads are not going to help the anti-Trump crowd.

All Trump has to do is point out who is behind the funding of the ads and move on.

AND Trump could kick the Vichy GOP in the nuts and say that REGARDLESS of what happens he will run as an independent if they try to torpedo his nomination.

The dismantling of the GOP may be addressing our clear and present danger.

Go ahead, make my day. I’d rather he gets p*ssed and goes off and runs third-party anyway. Will rid us of the troublesome Stupid Party once and for all.

Think faithless delegates and a brokered convention.

IF they do, then Trump needs to start the SECOND political party in this country

We already had the Mugwump party. You know sitting on a fence with your mug on one side and your wump on the other. We would call it flip-flop now.
