Republican 'Dump Trump' effort struggles to gain traction
Reuters ^ | March 4, 2016 | Emily Flitter

A plan to block Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump struggled to gain traction on Friday as rival candidates rejected it, while Democrats reveled in the chaos they hoped would boost their chances of keeping the White House.

The country's top elected Republican, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, said he was not interested in an effort to draft him into the White House race.

I heard that Hillary is going to buy those ads from Trump’s rivals and save on production costs during the general.

“A plan to block Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump struggled to gain traction on Friday as rival candidates rejected it...”

Really!!!??

After his Wonderful Speech, I would have thought millions and millions of out of work, lower class citizens would have rallied to Lord Romney.

Illiterate ingrates, all of them.

Sad to watch Republicans join forces with Democrats to deny the voters their choice.

Mitt’s former communications guy who joined this anti-Trump PAC was on O’Reillys show and he sucks. Very shallow analysis and a definite “lightweight”. Trump’s communications gal was on too and she chewed him up like Cruz with a fresh booger.

The people running the Republican Party do not realize, republicans are angry that republicans in leadership positions have not worked harder to block foolishness in government. The GOP is always going along to get along.
Now, people elected in the GOP act like they did something great to stop Obamacare and larger deficits. It is an act.
They are not working to be an opposition party.

And to think Mr. Trump signed a pledge with these corrupt, self-serving treacherous snakes.

There is no difference. Jeb and Mitt are interchangeable. Different chairs in the same office.

*************************************

They should, but they can’t.
They owe The Cheap Labor Express an amnesty candidate.
¡Yeb! was supposed to be the Designated Loser.
The RNC/GOP’s role is to block us from electing anyone as President who would stop the people pipeline.
We have only had amnesty candidates since the last amnesty.
They always get their amnesty candidate.

Everything they have tried to stop Trump has blown up in their faces.
Reminds me of the Warner Bros. cartoons, with Trump as the Roadrunner and The RNC/GOP/Cheap Labor Express as Wile E. Coyote.

Just for fun, this won’t help the hate Trump movement much but a bit amusing.

Beck just said on CNN (according to Reddit) that he was questioned by the Secret Service today.

Good!

Remember, Katrina USED to be part of the Cruz campaign. She split months ago and joined up with the Trump campaign.
