Dozens of Republicans to urge RNC to cut off funds for Trump
Politico ^ | Aug 11, 2016 | Anna Palmer

Posted on 08/11/2016 4:00:21 PM PDT by Albion Wilde

More than 70 Republicans have signed an open letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus urging him to stop spending any money to help Donald Trump win in November and shift those contributions to Senate and House races.

The letter comes as a number of Republican senators and high-profile GOP national security officials have come forward saying they cannot vote for Trump.

“We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck,” states a draft of the letter obtained by POLITICO. “This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day.”...

Republican Andrew Weinstein, a vocal anti-Trump Republican, is one of the operatives organizing the letter, which began circulating earlier this week and is expected to be sent next week.

Sure, The Donald got 14 million votes but that means 310 million didn’t vote for him. The president said we need to listen to the voices of the people who didn’t say anything. Or something stupid like that.

Trump's been fund raising for the RNC. He chose a VP to their liking. The only conclusion is that they aren't willing to give up power via the ballot box, and they assume we don't despise them.

What's telling is that most elected Republicans are afraid to stand up to them, even those who aren't nevertrumpers. It tells me they've all jumped through a whole lot of hoops they should not have in order to move up the ladder in the Republican Party.

If a majority of Sanders supporters and disgusted independents don't WAKE UP and vote for Trump, the elite across the political spectrum won't even pretend our votes matter any more. How do we convey this to them, that this is our last chance to not go the way of the EU and other past civilizations?

I address this question to all Freepers, because we have to come up with a plan for what we can do, as individuals, to bring votes to our side. Trump is doing everything he can to save the nation, but what WE need is a grassroots strategy!

What are those squares at the end of your post?

Look like non-groovy characters to me.

Asking for and getting are two different things.

Publicizing the asking is just DNC politics to make it look like “Republicans” want to dump Trump when this clearly not what “Republicans” want. DNC is hoping people will post this nonsense on Republican blogs.

Here’s what I want to say about this

In 1944, December in Germany, the 101 Airborne, specifically, Easy Company, were taseked with going into the Ardennes Forest in Belgium.

It was freezing, it was close to Christmas, they’d planned on a quiet month of football and food, they arrived at checkpoint with no equipment, no ammunition, no winter clothing, to a retreating group of infantry

Some lieutenant told their commander, Captain Richard Winters, that where they were headed, into the woods, for an indefinite period of time, that they were going to be surrounded

Cot. Winters said, “We’re paratroopers. We’re supposed to be surrounded.”

I could get 70 people to sign a petition to ban Oxygen.

Don't you realize that Oxygen is one of the main components of one of the greatest killers of all time, di-hydrogen Monoxide?

One of their charges against Trump is that he’s offended muslims. A, being alive as a non-muslim offends muslims. B, Trump offending muslims is a feature, not a bug.

“and they assume we don’t despise them.”

I think they don’t care that we despise them AND that it doesn’t make a difference that that is so.
