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.”

FR POSTED: “Why the Dogs of Hell have been Unleashed on Donald Trump” ..... via the GOPe

Wayne Allyn Root's book, “The Murder of the Middle Class,” details the unholy conspiracy among insiders....big government, big business and big media.

They all benefit by the billions of dollars generated by govt actions made solely for their financial interests.....a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich — everyone except the American people.

We’re just the patsies (as Donald wisely observed).

Seen getting agita over Trump are the get-rick-quick types: Barack and Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name a few.

The “backlash” should be spectacular.

Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 7 core principles:

a. American interests come first. Always. No apologies.

b. Maximum firepower and military preparedness.

c. Only go to war to win.

d. Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.

e. Keep the technological sword razor sharp.

f.See the unseen. Prepare for threats before they materialize.

g. Respect and support our present and past warriors.

I think that Fx News had the same idea with Megyn Kelly.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a two-party political system.

In the next debate if the third party question comes up Trump needs to ask the other candidates and the audience, if I win the nomination are you prepared to support me? Then ask Little Jebbie directly is your cronies in the GOPE going to support me? Turn about is fair play.

As Mr. Ed Sullivan would say... “Folks, we have a really, really big show!”

Yes, they would attempt it - all foils seem to be failing miserably thus far and desperation breeds ridiculous plans to gain an upper hand. WTP??? WTP just laugh at the clowns as they continue to stumble over one another, each wearing his own clown hat and red nose...or in some cases orange hued complexions. We will not be fooled yet again. We’ve more intelligence than the lot of you combined.

Like Reagan, he’s going above their heads and talking straight to the people. And the polls are reflecting it. Trump isn’t playing their game. And it’s got them angered, panicked, and scheming for ways to keep him off the state primary ballots.

That happens? You’re going to hear a mighty howl, and I don’t know whose roar will be fiercest — Trump’s or the American people...

You said he would drop out of the race to avoid having to reveal his financials. You also said he wouldn’t reveal his financials because they would prove to be less than he claimed.

Almost beyond the tipping point now.

The establishment does this and the anti establishment do not get the nomination, then civil war will break out.

No, he should not respond that way because they will just say “of course” which leaves Trump in the position where they’re pledging loyalty to him while he’s not doing the same. *WE* know they would break that loyalty in a minute but that wouldn’t matter. The question and answers would be on video record.

Now that this “GOP Attack” is public record, his best response is to attack the question itself. “I have no reason to take that pledge when the party is actively working against me. They are not dealing in good faith. I know how you make deals and good faith is the single most important cog in any deal.”

His response should be something like that.

“Now they aren’t going to do it with their fingerprints on it,”

Sounds right.

Men with no balls do that.

Trump’s best bet is to counterattack hard and fast, while forming a powerful alliance at the same time.

The best bet is for him is to prepare with Tea Party groups to do elective “takedowns” of establishment candidates. And not just presidential candidates.

He could ask the Tea Party to give him a list of 50 congressmen and 10 senators they want ousted, then he could easily fund candidates to oppose them in the election. He could take these 60 candidates and give them national level quality election support against the insiders.

It could cover the gamut. Campaign training, quality strategy, coordinating between them to support each other.

He could also vet those candidates to eliminate frauds, fakes, establishment plants, and crackpots. Lots of practice for “ambush” journalism, trying to get them to destroy their campaigns by saying something stupid or repugnant. And background checks to make sure none of them are perverts, fascists, socialists, mentally ill, or otherwise walking disasters.

A good rule of thumb is that if the enemy is planning an attack, you set up a devastating counterattack that will rattle them so hard their scheme collapses.
