With less than two weeks until the Iowa caucuses, a new super PAC has formed with the intention of taking down Donald Trump. The group, which is called Our Principles PAC, is founded by Katie Packer, a veteran Republican strategist who served as deputy campaign manager on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

They did not do too well the last round when they should have easily won it in 2012.

That other republican strategist, Liz Mare (sp) tried the same thing. She was boasting about waging a $1 million ad campaign against Trump. She managed to raise about $5,000. But, I recently saw her on TV again saying she was going to wage an ad campaign against Trump.

I’m guess this campaign will fail as well.

“Our Principles” PAC will find out that money won’t fix what’s stuck in the voters craws about the GOPe. Katy Packer needs to have lunch with Karl Rove. Karl can show her how to pi$$ away millions of dollars of fat cat’s monmey and have nothing to show for it but an empty bank account.

She would have certainly been a little wet hen if someone had done this to the campaign she was working on.

See, all that BS that the establishment supports Trump was just a ploy to make Trump supporters abandon him.

LOL

Can this person be anymore stupid? Behind the scenes skullduggery might have some effect but this publicized establishment SuperPAc just gives his campaign another super energy jolt

This should tell everyone exactly what they need to know.

Maybe Cruz and Beck will select Romney as the Cruz VP. The Washington Political Class/GOPEE/Glenn Beck Wing of the GOP ticket.

The GOPe will help Ted if they think they can hurt Trump. Then they will demolish Cruz.

That has been their plan.

Bush is their guy. If the GOPe was behind Trump, Jeb would have gotten out.

Keep that in mind.

every dollar they spend on this strengthens Trump....in fact, these superpac dollars are the very best way to help Trump. Far more effective than giving to the candidate.

“Even if they had pictures of Trump humping a dog, I would still vote for him at this point!”

Oh, thank you for that! I needed a really good laugh today what with all this invective here on FR. But you’re right, the more these a$$holes who support the GOPe try to use fat cat money to insult the voters, the worse it’s going to get for them. They haven’t come to the realization that truckloads of cash just serve to harden the voters resolve to throw them out. Now, only if this translates to those House and Senate members of the GOPe that are up for re-election this cycle and they get their a$$es handed to them this November too.
