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.).
I doubt it too. Seriously doubt it.
“Keep up the BS meme about ‘disastrous’. Completely concocted issue by the DNC and the press”
-—Exactly!! Been saying this for the past 2 days. The MSM and GOPE want us all to fret and wring our hands and demand that Trump be more like Romney/McCain/Ryan et al in order to lose yet another easily won election. STOP! the hand wringing, stiffen your backbone and let Trump be Trump, and support him, or let the MSM GOPE help you lose another election.
Relax. There is always a counterpoint to be made, and the one issue that has been reintroduced is the lies and disdain that HRC heaped on Benghazi victims. Let the story run it’s course- it’s only Aug. 3
PERFECT!!!
A well-put post.

Trump left this matter days ago. It is the media and the #neverTrumps who keep it going.
Ryan and McCain are the two most hated elites by the base, and if Trump sided with them, he would no longer be a voice for the millions that have supported him. They need to be eliminated at the ballot box, to clear the deck for a Trump presidency. Is Trump the dog wagging the tail, or is it the tail wagging the dog? Trump will never be the tail.
Trump’s convention speech was a huge success & hit all the right notes. He should keep hammering those points & exploit the $400M cash to Iran as well as the new Wiki emails regarding the transfer of weapons to ISIS. These are winning topics that need to be repeated by Trump because the media are not going to bring them up.
I’m sorry, I thought Islamic terrorism and immigration WERE the issues. My mistake.
Seeing this is frim the notorious liar Todd, it can be dismissed as just another lie to support the great lie from satan’s own DNC via the media whoredom.
I can’t take this crazy crap anymore. Hillary is a disaster has been identified as an absolutely corrupt Criminal. And we are letting everyone convinced us that Trump is just such a problem because he dared to respond to speakers at the Democratic National convention. Trump needs to get out there and hit Hillary and the media hard. Get the soldiers and medal winners and families of fallen heroes who support Trump up on that stage and get them attacking Hillary and stating that the attacks on Trump are invalid. Hillary hates the military and the military by and large Returns the favor.
Yes
That is what Gingrich firmly stated
McCain is armed service committee and Ryan as house speaker and he said trump needs them both
Gingrich presumably has a finger on the pulse of their primaries
As despicable as these men are they are NOT primary targets for Trump in this epic struggle against the clinton machine and the obama machine and he needs to be the bigger man for the sake of the party
and fir the sake of the election campaign and his future presidency - stop feuding with men likely to be re elected anyway and focus on HILLARY
I doubt it. Using the worrd "intervention" is a deliberate incendiary falsehood. All four people named (not counting Trump's family) get along quite well, and all share the same mission. I would wager that meetings among them are routine - not on any particular schedule, but can always be put on the agenda.
If and when they meet, it will be to discuss strategy for dismantling the narrative, not just the current one, but any that come up going forward. I would not be surprised if in some of these meetings, Trump berates THEM for not nipping an issue. Giuliani said essentially that Trump is doing the job that Giuliani, Gingrich, or somebody else should be doing; and Priebus has a strange way of allowing falsehoods about his actions to sit and stew for days without any pushback.
Was forced to watch CNN just now over lunch.
They convened a panel of “Republicans” including serpentine Liz Mair discussing the promotion of Gary Johnston as a viable alternative for Republican voters.
“Wake up Islam is the issue”
Khan is a bit player that is a distraction from Hillary.
Now which one you want to spend time on?
Exactly, if the election is about Trumps ego, he loses. If the election is about the disasters of Obama and Clinton’s leadership, he wins.
His team needs to keep the pressure on and play offense. Clinton is vulnerable, he needs to hit her hard and keep hitting and he will win.
Trump, get rid of all those losers. Keep away from RINO’s and other ignorant Republicans. Tell them to go to hell because that is exactly where they are taking America.
They should be directing their ire toward the crooked media.
These two WILL DO EVERYTHING in their power to go AGAINST EVERYTHING Trump tries to do as far as legislation is concerned they NEED TO GO!!!
Who can believe what the Hill puts out? Just noticed that the first four letters are the same as Hillary’s.
