Trump was responding to a Wall Street Journal report that Republican operatives are considering banding together donors from the other GOP campaigns in a bid to knock Trump off the top spot.

Their efforts are taking on increased urgency as the first-in-the-nation Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses near and Trump leads the crowded GOP field for the fourth consecutive month, according to a new national Washington Post-ABC News poll. Some candidates, including Ohio Gov. John Kasich and former Florida governor Jeb Bush, also are showing more willingness lately to directly attack Trump.

You mean like the GOP did to us in 2008 and 2012? By handpicking the candidates whose turn it was? That way?

Oh BS. They got it because they won the voters of the primary. It’s not Romney’s fault that the conservative states break out their points to may candidates and not “winner take all” like the norther and western states do. Why do you think a conservative doesn’t win when they need 4 states to equal what one candidate wins for Jersey. Also, it is not the GOPe fault that idiots sat out voting in 2012 especially. The idiots who sat out voting are the ones who gave us Obama. Sometimes it would be nice to think before you spew BS.

Apparently for some, their hatred for the GOP exceeds their love of the country.

TRUMP said after talking to Rinse Prebwash that he agreed to support the Republican ticket, AS LONG AS THEY PLAYED FAIR, with him.

Well the GOP has sure dropped THAT ball. They want Trump to go THIRD Party, because the title is to go to Jeb or Hillary. Well, Jeb is out. So, read the tea grounds. They want Hillary.

And Cruz doesn’t get out of the South, or passed South Carolina, nope, not in this secular day, not if they can take down the gladiator, Trump. Cruz is cake.

The GOP will have no one as the Republican nominee but the one they own— lock, stock, and barrel, or the COMPLEX happily takes Hillary.

If TRUMP, who is a force of his own, beholden to no one can be knocked out, no one will be making the grade but for the Establishment grunt. Who will that grunt be? Rubio? Who cares who it is? It really doesn’t matter.

Trump beats the Obama/Hillary machine. That machine has a name, we all know. It’s called, “the fundamental transformation of America” machine.

As for Trump, he will lead the Republican ticket, or will consider a Third Party. He won’t be “sharing” no stinkin’ ticket.

Bank that.

To: All
Let me clarify something since I'm somewhat naive about the inner workings of this:

1. Trump is currently ahead in almost all of the polls. Sure, there's one or two outliers, but he's by far the current front runner.

2. Trump, by anyone's consensus, has won the debates.

3. If Trump wins say 80% of the primaries, and continues to be ahead in the polls by 5-10 points, don't they Have to give him the nomination at the Republican Convention?

If the above scenario occurs and he doesn't get the nomination, then what?

Yes. I guess the derivation is that, like Kabuki theater, once you’ve seen it a few times, you pretty much know how it’s going to end. Same with political Kabuki. It doesn’t matter how convincing the RINO’s try to sound when they talk about getting tough, like Kabuki theater it’s all ostentatious show. We already know how the show will end.

““Oh! Oh! But what about the SCROTUS?!”

GOP presidents also gave us Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. You think it doesn’t make any difference? BS.

{”Do you trust the current court,”}

Not at all.

It would not surprise if your well-stated fears do not become a reality.

The current issue they can prop up is the Exec. Order on Amnesty. They will hear it and decide for B.O. They appear to embrace the mental ill and lawless emperor.

Since the eGOP is refusing to support Trump, then Trump should do as he needs. Trump knows we’ll vote for him, not any party in particular.

Actually, if you’ve seen Kabuki theater, you never, ever will forget it!

“Trump would win a three-way, because that’s not going to come close to happening.”

That’s just your opinion. You clearly don’t know...

RESISTANCE is usually a risk, Scott.

RESISTANCE is hard.

RESISTANCE is a choice.

RESISTANCE is scary.

Or, you can sit by for one more enema from the GOP. WTH?

There is no choice, there is risk, it’s hard and scary, but some things have to be done. Like Boston. The Tea Party. The American Revolution.

And that was how many years ago? Scalia was appointed in 86. Thomas was appointed in 91, Alito in 06. So that means we get thrown a bone what, every 15 years? Rah.

If they should succeed in taking out Trump, there will be no Cruz. Wake up. They’re for Jeb, or for Hillary. The CARTEL does not care which. This is about TPP support and the Cheap Labor Express and all globalists, foreign and domestic. Period.

The rigging of the delegate game begins after that and arms get broken and rules “adjusted” at state conventions.

We must be at our state conventions, so put a couple of night’s stay back in the piggy bank.

Well lets be real the only state that Ted Cruz has a chance at is Iowa. Trump is blowing out every other state. So its going to a one shot deal if the evangelicals go for Cruz. Trump is going to take NH, SC the SEC, FL, NV, NC and on from there.

This is a message to Jeb, Kasich, Liz Mair, and the developing guerilla campaign to bring down Trump.

He's saying "play dirty and I'll make you regret it."
