As Republican infighting grows, donors call for calm

WASHINGTON (AP) — Worried about "Republican on Republican violence," top party donors are taking action, with one firing off a letter calling for more civility and another seeking to block businessman Donald Trump from the debate stage altogether.

Foster Friess, a Wyoming-based investor and one of the party's top 20 donors in the last presidential contest, issued a letter to 16 White House prospects and the Republican National Committee late last week calling for candidates to stay on the "civility reservation."

"Our candidates will benefit if they all submit to Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment, 'Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican,'" Friess wrote in a copy of the letter sent to Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus and obtained by The Associated Press.

You too are in good company with the MSM, pro-politicians, big party insider donors, Mexico, Univision, lawless open border Communist, lobbyist, influence peddlers, celebrities etc.

Looking sharp Cathy!

30 pieces of silver? The gop is far cheaper than that. They’d betray conservatives for cab fare. catch them on a good day and they’ll do it for free.

Criticizing a liberal Democrat makes me one?

I'm not seeing how that works. Can you explain for me? Without the slogans, if you can.

Why bother with an election? Just auction off the politicians on ebay and save the rigamarole.

Trump fans are trying to shut up those who recognize him for what he is.

Those who like what Trump says are trying to shut you up? Funny stuff Cathy.

Feel free to post as many pro-professional politician threads as you wish. No one is stopping you. Go show them your support! At this point they could use some.

Take care.

So you’re saying that dissent isn’t allowed if the thread is about Trump?

Really?

This is so good for Trump. He is wall to wall in the “news”!!! He is absolutely right on the border thing and he is separating the”men from the boys” so to speak. We now have Cruz, Tuump and Santorum but we have isolated the liars and distorter into “The Three Amigos” bush ,christie and rubio. We have one hispanic on each side.
I an waiting to see if Dr. Carson and Carley would like to continue their vice presidential quest or slip into political oblivion with the THREE AMIGOS!! More Pop Corn!!

You're confusing me with politicians who lie to you with a smile and can talk for a hour, not say anything and still make you feel good. What I have said is pretty clear. If you have difficulty understanding I can't help you.☺

It is my opinion that President Reagan was referring to honest, conservative, Republicans when he spoke those words.
Not Republicrats or Dempublicans.

No, I think I have you pegged.

You’ve refused to answer a single question I’ve put to you. Instead you’ve danced around with smiley faces and parroted slogans.

You’re not coming off as a serious supporter of this or that politician, but as an addled follower of a cult of personality.

Enjoy it while it lasts. But you’re still going to have to deal with those of us who recognize Trump for the liberal Democrat he is.

Three years ago Myself and several others predicted that people who would abandon their principles for Romney would find it easier to do so in the future whenever some claimed the end of the world was nigh unless the liberal republican was backed.

A year ago myself and several others predicted that the same people who abandoned their principles to vote for Romney would find it easier to back/vote for mitch and Johnbon, along with their lesser evil RINO sycophants.

Earlier this year myself and several others again predicted that the people who abandoned their principles for Romney and again abandoned their principles to support/vote for Mitch/Jonbon and their RINO sycophants would abandon Cruz to support and eventually vote for another liberal anti conservative candidate because the last two elections proved they would do exactly that.

We were correct all the way down the line.

Now either we have the ability to see the future rivaling Jesus Christ himself or we have liberals doing what liberals always do. Back liberals.

I’m personally not feeling holy enough to claim the first so the second is most likely the case.

He is absolutely right on the border thing

That's just the biggest most threatening issue and has been for decades. Securing the home land is priority #1.

He's also correct on reckless corrupt trade laws and destructive domestic and foreign policies which has all but looted the American treasure while leaving middle America in steep decline.

Just point me to the BBQ.. I’ll have the alien stew..

Are these your hard hitting question Cathy?

"So you’re saying that dissent isn’t allowed if the thread is about Trump?" Or "Criticizing a liberal Democrat makes me one?"

Trump is not a liberal as you claim. This is apparently obvious to all but you.

And I told you feel free to post all the threads you want in support of professional politicians. And if you continue to be drawn to Trump threads, be my guest. In fact, I welcome it.

It's very revealing.

Any more questions Cathy?
