Top Republicans and political allies to Donald Trump are planning an "intervention" with the candidate following a disastrous two days and political firestorm encircling the Republican presidential nominee, according to a report Wednesday.
Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Speaker Newt Gingrich are among those looking to talk with the businessman, NBC News reports.
The group hopes to enlist Trump's children, who have proven pivotal in advising the businessman's candidacy, in their effort to get Trump back on track after days of feuding on Trump's part that even his closest political allies like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has found inappropriate.
Trump insisted in a tweet early Wednesday that there is "great unity" in his campaign despite reports of internal campaign strife following an onslaught of negative attention.
The real estate tycoon feuded with the parents of a slain American Muslim soldiers killed in Iraq whose father spoke at last week's Democratic convention, then caught flak over his answers in an interview on Russia's moves in Europe.
Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday he wasn't ready to back Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in their primary races, despite them endorsing his candidacy, and he also swiped at Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.).
CNN/ DNC is trying to divide and conquer. If successful Clinton wins. Bill won the first time due to this.
Democrats do this a lot in various elections.
How is Trump swinging at Ryan full time? It is Ryan that has played coy with Trump and Trump is siding with Nehlen who is a Trump supporter. I would be very disappointed in Trump if he went along with the elites who hate him. Thank God he does not play the Washington game on their terms.
Don’t get me started with Beck. Megyn was kissing arse as he was on her show lastnight and she promoted his book.
I totally disregard anything Chuck Todd and Hallie Jackson have to say and I suggest that everyone who comes here to read do the same.
Hillary is absolutely scared shitless of Donald Trump and her propaganda arm is seconding the sentiment. Good. I wonder how large a lead Trump has—10 points—46 states?
Hillary is scared shitless.
No, it’s not concocted by the DNC and Media. It’s evidenced by Trump’s behavior.
Sorry for my curse word. Sometimes in cases like this, there are no other adequate words. :)
What did you think of Beck's new costume? And his message, man, powerful ... RUSSIA - BOO!
Yep this is a set up. They’re implying that they were successful with taking down Trump with the “Con” fake fiasco. This implies that Trump is “unfit” etc. The media is continuing to drive a narrative.
The media is worst of the worst-insert the worst disparaging word here. If the media wins this election our country is gone.
Go Trump.
Pardon my use of course words. Felt this time it was unavoidable.
So, an “intervention” is usually done with alcoholics and drug addicts. Do you get the drift coming from the DNC and the leftists in the media? Are you fed up with it, yet? I certainly am and I am betting that millions of other people are, too.
Go kiss the @$$ of Cruz.
Honestly, as soon as I saw him, I pretty much did a mental blackout! He’s a nutcase and she will do anything to display opposition to Trump.
Have some warm milk, get your Binky and fav banky, and take a nappy.
Did NBC peeps ask Rudy and Newt to verify this report?
Almost everyone in DC is running so scared of Trump. And they should be.

Newt emails: “No intervention.”
Welcome to Free Republic
IMHO. . . Let Trump be Trump. He does not need any puppet masters pulling his strings! These three if they keep it up will become totally irrelevant. Trump does not need any “consultants” defining who he is.
I don't get to pick the MSM decide that.
