GOP ELITES PLOT TO BAR FRONT RUNNER TRUMP FROM DEBATE

As if we need more proof of how tone deaf and self-destructive GOP elites can be towards their most reliable voters, the New York Times reports that at a weekend meeting of the Republican Governors Association there was an attempt by some “donors and operatives” to come up with a plan to bar current Republican frontrunner Donald Trump from the presidential debates.

Luckily for the GOP cooler heads prevailed but that the idea was even floated at this level is indicative of the Republican Establishment’s most glaring flaw.

Many national Republican officials are increasingly resigned to Mr. Trump’s looming presence. At a meeting of the Republican Governors Association this week in Aspen, Colo., donors and operatives mused about how to prevent him from hijacking the debate.

One idea that came up was to urge three leading candidates — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor; Mr. Walker; and Senator 

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)

 

80%

 

 of Florida — to band together and state that they would not participate in any debate in which Mr. Trump was present, using his refusal to rule out a third-party bid as a pretext for taking such a hard line. The thinking, according to a Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full complement of candidates.

 

But none of the campaigns have shown any appetite for such solidarity, for reasons ranging from their strategic interests and not wanting to make Mr. Trump a martyr, to fear of making an enemy of Fox News, the preferred cable network of conservatives and the host of the first debate.

The Republican Party has lost the popular vote in 4 of the last 5 presidential elections. The only election won was the re-election of a sitting president (Bush in ’04) during a time of war. Not only are these geniuses still in charge, these geniuses seem to believe that disenfranchising 25% of Republican primary voters (Trump’s support in the most recent national poll) through elite shenanigans is a smart strategy.

Trump is winning for three reasons:

1. He treats the media like the left-wing political operatives they really are. His belligerent contempt for these operatives is a breath of fresh air even to those of us not supporting him.
2. He had the courage to bring up the issue of illegal immigration and crime, and the courage to not back down from that fight. He also happens to be 100% right on the issue.
3. He fights like a Leftist. He hasn’t gone as far as Democrats did in 2012 when they accused Mitt Romney of murdering someone, but he does what’s necessary to stay on offense.

If the Republican Establishment can’t beat Trump, there is no way they will ever beat Hillarious, who has a massive advantage over Trump: she’ll have the media on her side. The media is trying to kill Trump and the Establishment still can’t get the job done.

Listen, I’m no highly-paid, inside-inside strategist, but maybe — just maybe — instead of dismissing, marginalizing, attacking, and attempting to disenfranchise Trump’s supporters, the GOP could try to figure out what his appeal is and make their own appeal to those voters?

Again, I’m just a guy on these here Internetz, but with Trump threatening to bolt to a third party, maybe alienating his supporters is the single most dumbest thing anyone who truly wants to beat Hillarious could do?

I’m not unsympathetic to the Establishment’s frustration. Trump fights like Obama and Obama cleaned our clock twice.  It’s tough being the coyote to someone else’s roadrunner — especially when your snobbishness assured you this could never happen.

All I’m suggesting is that instead of cheating with the debates and alienating Trump’s massive pool of support with insults, if the GOP figures out how to beat Trump honestly, they might be better trained to beat Hillarious. Not that any of that will matter if the GOP continues to tell 25% of the base that they don’t want their ignorant, unsophisticated, unwashed hands pulling the lever for us.

To be fair, maybe I’m missing something. Maybe there is a three-dimensional strategy dreamed up by Our Establishment Betters where alienating large chunks of their own voters is the path to victory.

Or maybe the problem is that Our Establishment Betters put their desire to feel smug and superior above their desire to win  presidential elections.

EXCELLENT Yota! Thanks.

Foolish of the GOP to freeze out Trump. . .trot him out there and lets see what happens . . . he doesn't fit the mold of a "politician". Trump speaks his mind, like him or hate him; he's got the GOP nervous because he's not one of them. 

 

Even with controversial remarks,Trump is in the limelight stealing GOP "thunder". Personally, I don't want a " business as usual politician" in the WH. This country needs a businessman.

 

I'm not saying it has to be Trump; BUT there has got to be a savvy problem solving individual with no Far Left or Far Right political agenda that can get this broken down car with 4 flat tires of a country up and running and BACK TO WORK. 

 

Enough already of the "Great Socialist Dream of Fairness, Social Justice, Wealth Redistribution Utopia" . . . Its 2 minutes to midnight before we become Greece !!!!!

 

While some want to extinguish the American Citizen's Flame of Prosperity, Freedom from Govt. Tyranny and my Constitutional right in determining my own Destiny, I'll keep that Flame burning inside me thanks.

Sorry--- I mean't to plus and hit the wrong button. Someone bail me out, please.

I thought Trump was just a lot of noise, but I'm beginning to believe He is serious. Worse case senario, He will bring out points that the Republican Guard (Elite Rino's) are afraid of. There control is being overshadowed and taken over by Trump. IMO

[DWitte]

I got ya Bruce.  I was wondering who would neg that comment anyways.  No worries.

[leanonme]

I love it! He is not counting on corporations to fund his presidential run and they are getting nervous.

But I do like his style of getting the tough questions out there.

He is like the most nonpoliticaly  correct candidate I have ever seen and I do like that. 

He`s just so full of himself. hahahahaha  kinda like me.

[bigwave]

I've said it before and I will say it again, I would rather have Trump negotiate new deals with China, Mexico etc than Hill-baby or Bernnie.

There is a man in the White House who is as egotistical as they come. At least Donald Trump cares about America. Obama has made it plain that he does not care about America. He has sold this nation out and if Hillarious gets in that will continue until this nation is done.

Well said, Dog!

Sometimes you have to be brash to be heard... and no one does brash like Trump!

"...

Hopefully Trump is just using the threat of going 3rd party as leverage against the establishment (accept me as the viable republican candidate that I am or I will crush you!). If Jeb! and Marco (get off my lawn, kid!) want to sit it out, that's fine but I'm still waiting to hear something impressive from Walker. I'll lose my interest in anyone that joins hands with the Red-Rover-RHINOS who are trying to block Trumps participation.

[bigwave]

If Jeb and Marco sit out they will join Hill-baby in not answering any questions and going for pie.

RINOs ONLY need apply.

[Shabibilicious]

Let Trump debate.  As soon as some other hack shoots a disparaging remark in his direction.....his ego will take over and the moderator will stomp on him.  I look forward to the show.
