Priebus, Giuliani, Gingrich plot Trump 'intervention': report
The Hill ^ | August 3, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 08/03/2016 8:45:40 AM PDT by maggief

Top Republicans and political allies to Donald Trump are planning an "intervention" with the candidate following a disastrous two days and political firestorm encircling the Republican presidential nominee, according to a report Wednesday.

Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Speaker Newt Gingrich are among those looking to talk with the businessman, NBC News reports.

The group hopes to enlist Trump's children, who have proven pivotal in advising the businessman's candidacy, in their effort to get Trump back on track after days of feuding on Trump's part that even his closest political allies like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has found inappropriate.

Trump insisted in a tweet early Wednesday that there is "great unity" in his campaign despite reports of internal campaign strife following an onslaught of negative attention.

The real estate tycoon feuded with the parents of a slain American Muslim soldiers killed in Iraq whose father spoke at last week's Democratic convention, then caught flak over his answers in an interview on Russia's moves in Europe.

Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday he wasn't ready to back Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in their primary races, despite them endorsing his candidacy, and he also swiped at Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.).

Do you not understand that Trump did not attack Gold Star Families? He questioned the motivation of one Gold Star father who is also a political hack who has at least a three election cycle involvement with Hillary Clinton. Are you similarly outraged at Hillary’s treatment of families of Benghazi heroes?

But Hillary’s lies are ok? Have you read the background of this man Kahn? Son dying 12years ago did not make the father a better person or help him resign from the Muslim Brotherhood.

and fir the sake of the election campaign and his future presidency - stop feuding with men likely to be re elected anyway and focus on HILLARY

Nonsense...they're so apoplectic because Trump isn't following their playbook. He's responding to every public attack against them. Past candidates have ignored these constant attacks and then they take root and become truth. Trump isn't letting that happen and it's frustrating them to no end. He was supposed to be kowtowed by a Muslim attacking him in a speech at the DNC and he wasn't.

Ryan did endorse trump
But he is not to be trusted

Trump needs to hold onto his friends close- but his enemies closer

world history is replete with biographies of successful political leaders who understood this

I can’t take this crazy crap anymore. Hillary is a disaster has been identified as an absolutely corrupt Criminal. And we are letting everyone convinced us that Trump is just such a problem because he dared to respond to speakers at the Democratic National convention. Trump needs to get out there and hit Hillary and the media hard. Get the soldiers and medal winners and families of fallen heroes who support Trump up on that stage and get them attacking Hillary and stating that the attacks on Trump are invalid. Hillary hates the military and the military by and large Returns the favor.

Agree, I'm stuck here at work with the news blaring on TV, and no way to change it...driving me up the wall. The onslaught against Trump is relentless. I'm afraid the majority cannot resist the MSM propaganda.

....”the promotion of Gary Johnston as a viable alternative for Republican voters”.....

Well if Romney didn’t work for them, nor Cruz, what in the world do they think slow on the uptake Gary Johnson would offer?????

Looks like they’re simply seeking a “Psycological Pillow” for the looser voters to lay their head....with Johnson as the “pacifier”.

The media is putting out reports trying to drive home their story of Trump's mental instability, that he might drop out of the race!

These people are pure evil!

You might be reveling in the chaos the media is presenting to the American public and the world but they are not and they are getting uneasy about it

Step away from FR and get out into the real world

People do not see a pugilist swinging wildly at multiple bogies to be a national leader who can capably handle quality of life and liife and death issues for the next 4 years

People want nationally compelling issues and causes identified, and solutions that are firm and rational - trump has 3 months

Many people on this site are buying this BS by the media about implosions etc. This is the usual SHAAT sent out by the disinformation specialists of the MSM. Please remember folks the last campaign with a milk-toast candidate the media was also creating themes about implosion, disaster, etc.Ex:

" A lot is going on. In the last forty-eight hours the Mitt Romney for President Campaign has more or less collapsed under its own dumb weight. Articles on Politico and the New York Daily News have exposed the campaign’s structure and message to be in complete and utter turmoil. Within hours several news sources, networks, magazines, newspapers, and blogs were running red with the newly struck blood."

http://bullmensfiction.com/editorials/a-readers-guide-to-the-implosion-of-the-mitt-romney-campaign/

Trump is playing it exactly right. He's moved on from this FAKE issue with a Glass mouthpiece, Khan. The ALT press, Breibardt, Drudge etc. are filling the internet with exposures of this jack Khan. Personally, I would prefer he hit back harder and really make the MSM liars convulse more which would show him the strongest candidate in history and not prepared to take crap from anyone no matter how much they hide behind a dead son (but that's just me). The trustability of the MSM is at it's lowest in history. People are using the internet for their news. Let the RICO MSM foment in rage until the foam starts running out of their collective media mouths.

I haven't been on FR for two weeks. I haven't also watched much political news on any front. I'm typical of the average american voter. It's summer. People are on vacation and/or working. NObody except die hards are listening to political news right now. These made up attacks against Trump are only appealing to die hard leftists. That's it. He's building support from die hard conservatives because he's not backing down from false attacks like every other republican candidate has done. This is why Trump won the primary and why he will win the general election.

Exactly and stick it to them hard on every issue where they have failed.

Total overreaction by the politicians trying to control the common man. I hope Trump tells them to cool it, stop telling me what to do. All the media flake doesn’t rise to a hill of beans, it is nothing more than a gnat on an elephant.

I know. Angels is beyond annoying. Every thread with Trump is a calamity and “he needs to do this or that”. Let Trump be Trump. The entire media, the Democrats and his own party are against him. Never seen anything like this in politics.
