Candidates’ aides and allies want anti-Trump vendors barred from lucrative general-election contracts.
Donald Trump’s campaign is considering hitting his Republican enemies where it hurts: Their wallets. As Trump moves to work in closer concert with the Republican National Committee apparatus, some campaign aides and allies are pushing him to block lucrative party contracts from consultants who worked to keep him from winning the nomination, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.
“The Never Trump vendors and supporters shouldn’t be in striking distance of the RNC, any of its committees or anyone working on behalf of Donald Trump,” said a Trump campaign official.
The blacklist talk — which sources say mostly targets operatives who worked for Never Trump groups, but also some who worked for Trump’s GOP presidential rivals or their supportive super PACs — strikes against a Republican consulting class that Trump has assailed as a pillar of a corrupt political establishment. It’s a sweet bit of turnabout for Trump aides and consultants who in recent months were warned that their work for the anti-establishment billionaire real estate showman could diminish their own career prospects.
If Trump’s team makes good on the blacklist, it could elevate a whole new crop of vendors, while penalizing establishment operatives who attacked him, often in deeply personal terms. But it also could put Trump’s campaign at a competitive disadvantage as it scrambles to quickly beef up capabilities in highly technical campaign tactics that it largely eschewed in the primary, including voter data, direct mail and phone banking. Newly minted presidential nominees typically install staff at their respective parties’ national committees, and have been known to steer contracts to at least some of their favored vendors, which often provokes backlash.

Well looks like Amazon and Washington Post are on the Blacklist ... sorry Jeff... cancelled my account this morning and will NOT be clicking on any Washington Post articles here or any where else...
When Trump says it’s over, it’s over!!!
If you try to kill the King, you better succeed.
If one’s precious “#NeverTrump” stance is actually based upon some sort of principle — no matter how intellectually knock-kneed or incoherent — then, logically, one should stand no less forthrightly for #NeverTrump’sMoney, as well. ;)

Well said!
Here in Indiana.... Trump had very little help moving his campaign forward. He succeeded because of his locations of Rallies, ideas, BOBBY KNIGHT and his supporters who took it upon themselves to work the Polls.
I had the help of hoosiermama driving me to be a first time sign poll helper. My area along with a helper of mine cover a lot of territory. It will take our help again in the Fall along with more volunteers.
Trump isn’t someone who runs his race as others and he really needs people to step up and fill the holes.
A good opportunity to cut out some cancer.
Yeah, all true.
But Trump’s “secret sauce” is that he knows this plays well w/ his supporters.
lol
I’d be very selective aboutbwhich ones I’d work with, and then put someone like Cristie or one of his sons in charhpge to make sure the toe the line.
For instance, maybe Graham on defense issues, where he does have some credibility. But no Bushies, no Romney no how!
The way Rush is talking about Trump today he ought to be on the list
He may *do* this. But IMO he/they should not *say* this.
This is an 0bama/Jarrett tactic.
Create distance, differentiation.
To the victor go the spoils. Start with Erick Erickson, Bill Krystol and
Mark Levin and Glen Beck.
Yes, this was much of the George W. Bush undoing. He had thousands working FOR him that were toatally AGAINST him.
When President Trump takes office, there needs to be a major house cleaning of career beaureaucrats (leeches, cockroaches). Don't forget, it is Trump who encourages loyalty pledge at his rallies! You're either for me or against me ...no soft wishy-washy middled ground!
[They should make such a list so that they know who to be wary of.]
Oh, Trump already has a list.
What the liberals and GOPe think is that Trump is just some “reality show” actor, no different than the Jersey Shore freaks or Kardashians.
They forget that he built a billion dollar empire decades before by being shrewd, tactful, and cunning. Always playing 3 steps ahead.
Didn’t Amanda Carpenter start a blacklist against Trump supporters? Now it’s payback time. None of these #nevertrump talking heads, advisors, strategists, should be given the time of day by the Trump campaign. Kristol, Will, Podhoritz, Goldberg, and countless others should NEVER be issued press credentials or allowed anywhere near the campaign. They are all backstabbers, crooks, and liars.
He he he LoL Turn about is fair play. Go Trump!
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Remember Mark Levin’s website and Amanda Carpeters blacklist. Another nut did the same thing.
