Trump Allies Plot Candidate Intervention After Disastrous 48 Hours
by CHUCK TODD and HALLIE JACKSON
Key Republicans close to Donald Trump’s orbit are plotting an intervention with the candidate after a disastrous 48 hours led some influential voices in the party to question whether Trump can stay at the top of the Republican ticket without catastrophic consequences for his campaign and the GOP at large.
Republican National Committee head Reince Priebus, former Republican New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among the Trump endorsers hoping to talk the real estate mogul into a dramatic reset of his campaign in the coming days, sources tell NBC News.
The group of GOP heavyweights hopes to enlist the help of Trump’s children - who comprise much of his innermost circle of influential advisers - to aid in the attempt to rescue his candidacy. Trump’s family is considered to have by far the most influence over the candidate’s thinking at what could be a make-or-break moment for his campaign.
The idea is in its early stages, and there’s no guarantee that Trump’s team would entertain a conversation requiring such comprehensive changes for a candidate who has resisted calls to moderate his tone or reel in his most outlandish political positions.

Keep up the BS meme about ‘disastrous’. Completely concocted issue by the DNC and the press.
Khan is a conman
Always trying to help us by framing the issues the way the left likes.......
I doubt this is the language of any of those advisers mentioned.
What political firestorm ?
What Trump should do is endorse strongly Paul Ryan’s challenger but promise to support Ryan if he wins his primary. Same with McCain. :-)
So they are going to berate Trump over a media concocted firestorm that benefits the Democrats.
Way to go, stupid @ss GOP!!!
Why don’t you turn your fire on the real enemies—the MSMS and the Dems?
” according to a report Wednesday.”
A report from WHERE/WHO???
Is some on the campaign leaking this crap or is this just the media coming up with bulls**t??
Good. Somebody needs to get Trump of this stupid side issue with muzzie Gold Star parents.
He needs to focus on the issues, get back on message and bring it to Hillary.
I seriously believe Trump is ADHD. He is so easily distracted for the task at hand.
more lies and bs from the far left Hill .they are desperately try to kerp the dead story alive .
the dnc media is desperate now .
Trump supporters are the invisible struggling middle class. The elites think Trump is crazy/inept because they do not see his appeal. Trump does not appeal to elites. But elites being elites think that translate to no appeal at all. That couldn’t be further form the truth.
Yesterday Trump is crazy,today campaign in turmoil, anonymous insiders.This is all being generated from the DNC
No, he didn't.
Following the Democrat media schedule perfectly. Look back and every recent GOP candidate had the media report on their campaign “imploding.” We knew it was coming when Trump was closing the gap in the polls. The Democrat media wing can always be counted on to count the Republican candidate out doubt day 100 of the campaign. Hopefully, people will recognize it and ignore them….but with RINOs throwing support to Hillary every day, it helps the media attack.
This crap is why I quit the GOP and became an independent recently.
Notice how all the dems fall in line behind their candidates - even when their candidates are accused of rape - or when their candidates endanger national security with an illegal email server and then repeatedly lie about it?
GOPe - fall in line behind your candidates chosen by the people - or else more like me will quit you and you will vanish.
Trump is doing something that Newt, Rudy and Reince Priebus could not do, and that is win!
Don’t listen to these GOPe hacks, Trump!
They are losers!
Trump is doing nothing more than giving answers to attacks on him. What is he supposed to do- stand mute?
And it’s funny how many of those that are against him now were neverTrumpers that favored Cruz.
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.
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.
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.
