They have ALL asked Trump for money at one time or another.

Should be a very interesting Fall with him releasing the letters on Instagram.

Dear Trump Team.

Get out in front of this, give the people the GOPe Playbook and blunt it.

Tell the people what to expect from the establishment. It will work wonders.

The problem with the Club For Growth, is that they are basically a one issue group. That issue tends to draw Conservative support; but the logical limitations on letting a one issue group determine your candidates, are very obvious.

Ijust love this line:

“He’ll say anything to get elected, and he’ll do just the opposite when he’s in office.”

That sounds like most everyone who has ever run for office.

I’m anxious to see how Trump handles serious, substantive criticism.

Why don't they wait for Trump's tax plan to come out?

RE: Who funds The Club For Growth?

I would say very rich donors.

The Koch Brothers among them.

RE: Why don’t they wait for Trump’s tax plan to come out?

What ever happened to Trump’s previous tax proposal?

Here it is ( or was, unless it has been modified or changed ):

http://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/Donald_Trump_Tax_Reform.htm

____________________________________

My 5-part tax plan involves reforming the income tax. The government confiscates way too much of your paycheck. The tax code is also a very complicated system that forces Americans to waste 6.1 billion hours a year trying to figure it out.

What does that tell you? It tells me that it’s time we restore simplicity & sanity to the income tax. Here’s my income tax plan:

Up to $30,000, you pay 1%

From $30,000 to $100,000, you pay 5%

From $100,000 to $1 million, you pay 10%

On $1 million or above, you pay 15%

It’s clear and fair. Best of all, it can be filled out on the back of a postcard and will save Americans big bucks on accountants and massive amounts of time wasted attempting to decipher the tax code.

Our country is hungry for real tax reform. That’s why we should implement the 1-5-10-15 income tax plan. And we need to enact [the rest of] my 5-part tax policy: kill the death tax; lower the tax on capital gains & dividends; eliminate corporate taxes; and a 20% import tax.

The complete tax plan is supposed to come out later this month.

Is there any candidate who wants to abolish the IRS?

EXCERPT:

Club for Growth ‘a big fan’ of Kochs

Its spending overshadowed by conservative advocacy groups funded by the Koch Industries, the pro-business Club for Growth is expressing interest in being “aligned” with the Kochs, potentially creating an even more influential force in the 2016 elections.

“I have been a big fan of what Charles and David [Koch] have created as a great influence on the Republican Party and, frankly, I think they can take the fair amount of credit for getting the Republican majorities,” said David McIntosh, president of the Club for Growth.

While the Club for Growth generally tries to influence the GOP primary process, helping economically focused candidates win, Koch assistance has generally flowed in general elections. But that may be changing as Koch eyes primaries, too.

These people are so stupid. Dumb. Moronic. Idiots. Unproductive.

Why don’t they run ads against Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton? Oh, that would be the smart thing. Never mind.

Trump's tax plan is just as good as Carson's. I could live with either. What is Club for Growth's beef with Trump?
