Republicans plotting a Donald Trump 'intervention' to rescue stumbling campaign
International Business Times ^ | 8/4 | Mary Papenfuss

Worried Republican leaders are plotting an "intervention" with presidential candidate Donald Trump in a desperate bid to get his careening campaign back on track.

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, Republican National Committee head Reince Priebus, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among Trump supporters reportedly hoping to talk some sense into him before he blows the election and brings the party down with him.

They hope to enlist the aid of Trump's children who are believed to have the biggest pull with their dad, reports NBC News.

My two cents-reaction w/o reading the article.

When was the last time the Republican estabalishment got someone unambiguously elected?

Nixon 1972.

From then on it was

Reagan won w/o it 1980.

H.W. Bush won Reagan's third term 1988.

Running on his own lost to Clinton 1992.

Dole lost 1996.

W. Bush squeaked by in 2000 -- some still wonder.

The Islamists open war on us IMO was a large part of his winning a second term -- almost equal to that was his opponent in 2004.

McCain lost in 2008.

Romney lost in 2012.

And the Republican establishment is the authority on presidential elections?

Mr. Trump has done nothing wrong, Troll.

It is Romney, Ryan, Cruz, Bush and Priebus who have
bad judgment (SSDD).

This story is being discredited by those supposedly involved. Don’t believe anything you read about Trump. In the Democrat media.

“I’ve been thinking this for a while now. “

As would anyone who doesn’t have the stomach for war.

I’m wondering if Trump isn’t leaking stories like this. Sure it sounds bad that his closes allies are so concerned they’re going to stage an intervention and that smarts.

But what’s the other message included in these stories? It’s that Trump needs to get his message out, the economy, terrorism, education, etc. If Trump is going to take advantage of free media, why wouldn’t he leak stories that call attention to his issues.

Pure BS. Manafort has blasted it as Dem propaganda. The premise is that Trump’s campaign is imploding. A bunch of crap.

Good point. Rush is making a great point right now: Isn’t this what the GOPe slobs wanted? Didn’t they want Trump to fail? Why aren’t they celebrating? Why intervene?

Clue: I wouldn’t vote for Juan McLame (even if he wins the primary) regardless of who is at the top. Enough is enough. We won’t have a Supreme Court justice choice anyway.

New drinking game = take a drink every time someone in the media says “intervention” when discussing Trump.

It's a soft way of saying the Donald is sounding crazy and planting that idea into soft skulls so they'll believe it.

You’ve been thinking ‘what’?

1.) This is ‘RAT-Media Mouthpiece garbage.

2.) It has already been posted on FR at least once or twice.

3.) This does nothing but sow disillusionment, discouragement and discontent among Trump supporters.

Don’t give aid and comfort to the enemy.

I’m not a troll and you’re wrong. He has done things “wrong” politically, in that he’s making messes for himself that he doesn’t need to be making. He could be 10-15 points ahead of Hildebeast right now and instead he’s got people questioning his sanity because of stupid remarks. The man has no filter.

Shut up. Stay on message. Lambaste Hillary from here on in and he could have an easy road to victory. Instead, almost two weeks later, we’re talking about Gold star families, Megan Kelly’s blood (again) and God knows what else.

That someone should tell Trump to rise above the petty BS and just beat on Hillary. (so to speak)
