NY Times: As Donald Trump Incites Feuds, Other G.O.P. Candidates Flee His Shadow
New York Times ^ | August 6, 2016 | Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns

After a disastrous week of feuds and plummeting poll numbers, Republican leaders have concluded that Donald J. Trump is a threat to the party’s fortunes and have begun discussing how soon their endangered candidates should explicitly distance themselves from the presidential nominee.

For Republicans in close races, top strategists say, the issue is no longer in doubt. One House Republican has already started airing an ad vowing to stand up to Mr. Trump if he is elected president, and others are expected to press similar themes in the weeks ahead.

In the world of Republican "super PACs," strategists are going even farther: discussing advertisements that would treat Mr. Trump’s defeat as a given and urge voters to send Republicans to Congress as a check on a Hillary Clinton White House. The discussions were described by officials familiar with the deliberations, several of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity about confidential planning.

The idiots at the Times obviously aren't worried about their future when they publish a piece of garbage as slanted at this!

Whether or not this is agit prop is irrelevant to me. I have news for you GOP-e money mongers: Pissing on the people’s choice is a sure road to defeat for you.

Put on your girl panties and find a way to win with the nominee you have.

As I have said many times before, never let the truth get in the way of your agenda. The rabid left wing NY Slime is not about truth, but about useful idiocy.

Too bad there aren’t any ethics requirements in journalism. This year we’d end up with fewer than a handful left who weren’t suspended or expelled from the “profession.” Of course, the lack of ethics and professionalism oversight is what separates it from actual “professions” like doctors, lawyers, hairdressers, and the like. I guess when people refer to a ‘free press” they get what they’re paying for.
