Donald J. Trump Statement on Politically Motivated Letter
Trump-Pence ^ | August 8 2016 | Donald J Trump

Posted on 08/09/2016 5:07:39 AM PDT by euram

“The names on this letter are the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place. They are nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power, and it’s time they are held accountable for their actions.

These insiders – along with Hillary Clinton – are the owners of the disastrous decisions to invade Iraq, allow Americans to die in Benghazi, and they are the ones who allowed the rise of ISIS. Yet despite these failures, they think they are entitled to use their favor trading to land taxpayer-funded government contracts and speaking fees. It’s time we put our foot down and declare that their gravy train is over: no longer will Crooked Hillary Clinton and the other disasters in Washington get rich at our expense.

Instead, I offer a better vision for our country and our foreign policy – one that is not run by a ruling family dynasty. It's an America first vision that stands up to foreign dictators instead of taking money from them, seeks peace over war, rebuilds our military, and makes other countries pay their fair share for their protection. Together, we will break up the rigged system in Washington, make America safe again, and we will Make America Great Again.”

About time we have an outsider that calls out these so-called “elite” for the mess they have created.

Trump’s ability to do this one things, was worth the price of admission.

Bush, McCain, Romney... those guys would have sat there and taken it. Trump won’t.

More power to him...

Donald Trump should make a TV buy with this letter. Some people get their “news” from commercials!

That is an excellent response.
Media will avoid broadcasting it like the plague.

Am I the only one who missed the letter? Anybody have a copy they’d like to share?

my favorite line:

“it’s time they are held accountable for their actions.”

I was watching O’Reilly last night (with Bolling as guest host) and he had some NeverTrump neo-con on. Bolling was asking him how he’ll feel if he succeeds and we get Hillary picking SCOTUS justices.

He said (paraphrasing) “you people had 15 to choose from and this is what you chose, so the outcome is on you.”

The American voter’s opinion is not important to them.

Nope, they were the advisors and planning tools of the effort. I was just following orders doesn’t fly in this case.

Trump needs to call a press conference and read every word of this letter off a teleprompter, then walk off stage. He can’t keep letting this asses set the agenda.

” personally don’t think the term RINO accurately captures what these people are. They are much more dangerous than that. I think it would be incredibly naive to think that infiltration of the GOP hasn’t been a goal and hasn’t been accomplished.”

Good Point. Well taken. Trump is snuffing this all out to the surface. This whole mess is so much worse than most people realize. Most on FR are political junkies and we know more details than most (please not to think arrogant) but details that connect the dots. It’s frightening.

That will probably happen when we give the district back to Maryland, turn the area from the ellipse to the capitol building into a national historical site and build a new capitol somewhere on an island or peninsula on the Mississippi donated by Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois or Iowa.

Three great sites:

  1. Greys Island, Willow Bar and Mud Island near Keokuk, Iowa.
  2. Gabaret Island and Chouteau Island near Alton, Illinois.
  3. That little isolated peninsula in Kentucky just south of New Madrid, Missouri.

I believe Trump represents a better vision than the signers. However, the undercutting of the nominee by "elite" members of his party may have lasting consequences for the future of the party. Methinks they do not care.

On the off-chance that what these elitists are trying to do succeeds, there may not be a party as the faithful turn away from three decades of compromises and bad decisions.

Now that old fool Karl Rove is yammering that Donald Trump should not "fight" the fifty career crapweasels who signed that absurd letter. FU, KR.

Donald Trump is not Mittens Romney.
Donald is not fighting with them, they are fighting with him. Big Difference.
