RUSH: Now, we know The Politico's where the Republican establishment goes to leak. The Politico, that's where the Republican Party establishment leaks their plans. That's where they leak their intentions. That's the mainstream. The Republican establishment has chosen The Politico as their jumping-off point to have people in the establishment know what they're doing, as opposed to leaking it to me, as opposed to leaking it to, take your pick of a conservative, they go to the Politico.
So here it is, the headline: "GOP Group Plans Most Aggressive Anti-Trump Campaign Yet." And there is a companion story here about how frustrated they are. There's a companion story that they can't find any donors. They're out of donors, they just can't find anybody to fund their anti-Trump activity, the establishment. The Republican establishment is just at their wits' end. They thought Trump would be gone by now and they can't find anybody willing to help them because nobody thinks it can be done now.
And amidst all that is the story from The Politico. It's by Alex Isenstadt, and what this is is a pro-Kasich super PAC is on a mission to take down Trump once and for all. And again they've leaked all this to The Politico. Here are the details. "John Kasich has attacked Donald Trump relentlessly in debates and now his super PAC is planning to invest $2.5 million in the most aggressive takedown of the poll leader yet -- on behalf of an increasingly anxious GOP establishment. The attack, according to a blueprint shared with Politico --" They haven't even leaked it. They shared it with them. "The attack will play out over the next two months on radio, TV, mail and online in New Hampshire. Strategists with the pro-Kasich group, called New Day for America, say the budget for the anti-Trump campaign is likely to grow.
"The offensive comes as some in the GOP are beginning to plot how to combat the real estate mogul and entertainer, who many are convinced would essentially deliver the White House to Democrats if he were the nominee. In launching the effort, the group hopes to position Kasich, who has lagged in the Republican contest and is searching for momentum, as a central Trump antagonist. 'We will be the tip of the spear against Trump,' said Matt David, a spokesman for the super PAC.
"Rather than go after Trump for his business dealings or his past support for liberal causes, as some of his opponents have tried to do, the super PAC will depict Trump as someone who would be a deeply ineffective commander-in-chief and ill-suited for the demands of the Oval Office.
Fred Davis, the group’s colorful Hollywood-based ad-maker who is best-known for producing the 'Demon Sheep' ad in the 2010 California Senate race, is working on a pair of anti-Trump TV ads. The commercials, David said, are designed to 'accelerate what we believe would be buyers’ remorse' that would arise from a Trump presidency." So they're readying ads out there at the Kasich PAC, super PAC that will be showing people regretting they voted for Trump at a mysterious time post-Trump inauguration.
"The group’s first volley came Thursday, when it released an ad that pictured the billionaire side by side with President Barack Obama. 'On the job training for president does not work,' says the ad, which invokes last week’s tragic Paris terrorist attacks. The group is currently spending about $600,000 to air the commercial, though David said more airtime is being purchased. For all the nervousness about Trump’s candidacy, however, few in the GOP have directed resources toward defeating him." By the way, that's bogus. I mean, in each of the first two debates we heard how this Republican faction or that was assigned to take Trump out. Maybe they mean this is the first serious expenditure of money. "Republican groups such as the Chamber of Commerce --" really? The Chamber of Commerce is a Republican group still? Who would have thought. Yeah. Here we go.
"Prominent Republican groups such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Karl Rove-founded ... American Crossroads, both establishment vehicles, have not spent any money against Trump.Yet with the Iowa caucuses just a little more than two months away, and with Trump still riding high, the calculus may be changing. This week, as top party operatives and donors gathered in Las Vegas for the Republican Governors Association meeting, many contributors privately expressed unease about Trump’s consistent lead in early state and national polling.
Trump responded to the news by lashing out at Kasich on Twitter." (laughing) Trump responded to the news.
Well, anyway, so there you have it, the GOP -- and I can't find the companion story here. I thought I printed it out. Here it is. It's a Breitbart story and the headline is pretty indicative here. It says the GOP admits it can't raise money to defeat Trump. "GOP Establishment Operative Can't Get Donors for Anti-Trump Super PAC."
Now, this is not New Hampshire, this is South Carolina, this is a whole different super PAC. This is not the Kasich super PAC. Apparently the Kasich super PAC have got no trouble here getting money. Or maybe they've already got the money. They're just allocating how they're gonna spend it. This story says this.
"On Tuesday, in an unwitting and probably grudging admission that Donald Trump’s power is not going to erode any time soon, Politico published an article acknowledging that efforts by Katon Dawson, the former chairman of the South Carolina GOP, to form a super PAC for the express purpose of derailing Trump have found no donors willing to commit. Dawson acknowledged, 'I specifically did not find the right donor to get me to go to that effort.' The GOP establishment, befuddled at Trump’s resilience, expressed confidence that Ben Caron’s discomfort in answering foreign policy questions --" Oh, did you hear what Carson said? They're all over him, too.
Yeah, he was talking about Syrian refugees and others at this moment in time, he said, "If you had a rabid dog in the neighborhood, what would you do?" And so they're now running around saying that Carson compared Syrian refugees to rabid dogs. And again everybody knows that's not what he meant. If he was comparing anybody to rabid dogs, he's talking about these terrorists that just wantonly kill like a rabid dog does. But these are the broad base generalizations and assumptions the media is only too happy to make about Republicans.
END TRANSCRIPT
I have a friend that lives 30 minutes from there but she can’t go either....I thought maybe I would drive from Utah to there if she wanted to go, but she doesn’t so will wait for him to get closer to Utah....
Can you tell how much I want to see him in person???? LOL...
Lucky you!!!
Wonderful!! Can we count on you for an after-action report? Please ping me to it!
Club for Growth were the ones that ask Trump for a million dollars, as I took it, to spend against him....when he refused they got upset...lol...
Except by the time I drive home it will be late, so I wouldn’t get to it until Tues. morning-—and then I have an early doctor’s appointment to check my hearing. I think all the rock and roll maybe caught up with me.
I’m saying the GOPe and Dems want to keep the gravy train flowing,and the long march to the NWO.they(both parties) win, regardless of who is in power.No outsiders or citizen legislators need apply.
Well yes and then there’s that....
I knew the minute that Trump threw his hat into the ring there were going to be sparks, and then he picked immigration as his theme...oh boy....
But I don’t worry, Trump is going to make it...even with ‘dead files’ and ‘illegal votes’ he’ll make it....
Ive already emailed my state GOP....hope fellow FReepers will take the time to follow suit.
Good, his poll numbers will surely rise.
These people know how irrelevant they are about to become, and are fighting tooth and nail to keep the crumbs that fall from Pelosi’s table.
I’ve kept this tagline for months...and everyday I see no need to change it.
FU GOPe
Trump is telling you right up front how he plans to screw you. Under his plan, the illegals will be back, immediately, legal, and voting Democrat.
I think you’re right. I don’t think their concern is that Trump would deliver the White House to Democrats as much as a Trump in the White House will stop the money flow and people may be charged and headed to jail.
Trump’s one of us - liberals hate him - the MSM hates him - democrats hate him and the GOPe hates him.
Welcome aboard Donald...
You’re getting good at this. Almost as good as the media with the database for Muslims. You know as well as the rest of us, Trump has made clear everyone leaves. He has also said they can reenter legally.
If you have paid attention, they don’t go to the head of the line, they don’t come in if they have broken laws, and they don’t come back immediately. Voting Democrat is a nice touch.
He’s not grasping, he’s telling it like it is.
And the reason is the GOPe wants a pro-amnesty candidate that will do whatever they say.
I do not believe they will allow a Trump nomination.
You post this lie on every thread.
You don’t have a single positive thing to say about Cruz, so instead trash those beating him?
Cruz will be terrific on the Supreme Court.
This mud-wrestling political thing is not his gig.
This is slander. It's not true. You know it's not true, and it is meant to defame.
You know as well as the rest of us, Trump has made clear everyone leaves. He has also said they can reenter legally.
What would be the point of a multi-thousand mile pro-forma journey if all that was going to happen is that illegals would be legalized? You think conservatives will get all exited about that? You are full of BS. From the impressions he sells, most people think they won't be back. He has said they will be. He has said he WANTS them back. The plan is amnesty in all but name and Trump would have NO support here if FReepers truly understood that.
If you have paid attention, they don't go to the head of the line, they don't come in if they have broken laws, and they don't come back immediately.
BZZZZT! Wrongo! In Trump's own words to CCN's Dana Bash:
Sounds like "immediately" to me. As to whether citizens will do those jobs, it's all about wages, endless welfare, disability, and unemployment benefits. That he thinks Americans won't do those jobs is insulting.
The illegals have already broken laws. They're here illegally. Most have fake ID. Some have fake SSNs. I would be gobs of them have failed to pay FICA taxes. So then it will be a matter of "which" laws, which renders the whole thing a con because when he dissembles about laws it opens all sorts of possibilities.
"Immediately" is in the eyes of the pitch artist and the slanderer.
Well, I guess we’ll find out when the time comes
