Donald Trump defiant as GOP leaders fight to stop him
LA Times ^ | March 6, 2015 | Michael Finnegan

Posted on 03/07/2016 7:36:34 AM PST by Innovative

But since the Republican donor class fell into a panic after Trump dominated last week’s Super Tuesday contests, the pugnacious front-runner has, fittingly, taken an in-your-face approach to its assault on his candidacy, including millions of dollars in advertising against him.

And he has warned the GOP establishment that its attacks risk turning off his huge following.

“Time to stop the attacks and stop helping the Dems. “

If you take those anti Trump ads and apply them to stopping Hillary, she would have already left the race.

There are non-stop anti Trump ads running here in Florida. The one that I think is most damaging is him saying “I love poorly educated people”. Education is a major issue here. When I saw it, I thought who would vote for someone running for President who says that?

Time to start extra praying for Trump.

I couldn't agree more. He's in my prayers every night.

“Cruz should speak out against the GOPe. Isn’t he the one who allegedly says he fights them all the time? “

His fight, from all I can ever gather from his fans, is that he called McConnell a liar. Other than that, he puts up token amendments to bills that get voted down.

Since they dont kick you out of the Senate, it’s easy to paint yourself as “fearless”.

In the primaries? Ha! He is now scared shipless of the Gope, and is now willing to get along now that he has been stopped by Trump.

Good point...how come he doesn't? Think of the votes he could pull away from Trump if he just said "The Washington cartel doesn't want any outsiders to be President. They should butt out and let the people decide."

He won't because that's where he's getting his money.

It must be an acquired skill. I feel like I need a bit of bourbon to bring it into focus, but it could be the painfully repetitive and literal stuff I’ve had to read lately.

When it comes to the GOP elite don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. What they’re doing is giving conservative and patriotic voters the middle finger

GOPe pigs will defend their place at the trough until they skewered and roasting on a spit.

And only Trump can do it. The GOPe are American Republican garbage and have a strong hold on Washington. They are in lock step with the communists Democrats and will be hard to remove.

Trump for President.

I pray for Mr. Trump every day. I ask the Lord to put his wings of protection over him. I ask God to hear the voices of his people that we need protection, too, from crony capitalists who are changing all the rules in their own favor so that those who have worked hard all their lives are now suffering as the ruling classes are turning against a good man who loves America and wants to help the hard-working taxpayer.

I quit reading the Article after a couple paragraphs. The author is merely assisting Romney in his attacks.

Moreover, not only would he have ‘dropped to his knees’ if Trump had said ‘Mitt, drop to your knees’ (that still makes me chuckle) but I’ve heard the clip where Romeny describes him as the ultimate great man, private citizen, entrepreneur, blah blah blah.

Cruz is GOPe at this point

Does anyone see FOX bashing Cruz non stop

Every lead in story on FOX this morning is a negative on Trump or a Can He Be Brought Down or Is He Electable crap

Cruziacs are delusional thinking they are not supporting the establishment now

Look who’s buying the 50-100 million ad buys in the next few states against Trump

Donor class for Cruz ...they wish to Newt Trump ala 2012 all over again in Florida

I guess they think they can control him better and given his history despite a few loud firebrand stunts

They can

I think you meant they “attract” Dems and Independents to vote for the R candidate in the general election.

You had what I think was a typo, said “attack”.

LOL - I find a glass of wine helps. I sometimes feel I’ve headed down the rabbit hole.

I used to read her and think “that can’t be true” but then I’d start researching and find it either was or there was enough facts available to make it probable.

I’m beginning to find a lot of easily available information has been edited or scrubbed - what kind of money and/or power can do that?

“This election is about the GOPe elites vs. We The People, and Trump is leading the fight.”

Absolutely right!

It is unfortunate that people don’t want to learn from history.

“Those who won’t learn from history, are condemned to repeat it.”

Welcome Hillary.
