Cut Ties to Donald Trump, Big Donors Urge R.N.C.
NYTimes ^ | 10-13-2016 | JONATHAN MARTIN, ALEXANDER BURNS and MAGGIE HABERMAN

Several of the Republican Party’s most generous donors called on the Republican National Committee on Thursday to disavow Donald J. Trump, saying that allegations by multiple women that Mr. Trump had groped or made inappropriate sexual advances toward them threatened to inflict lasting damage on the party’s image.

To an elite group of Republican contributors who have donated millions of dollars to the party’s candidates and committees in recent years, the cascade of revelations related to Mr. Trump’s sexual conduct is grounds for the committee to cut ties with the party’s beleaguered standard-bearer, finally and fully.

“At some point, you have to look in the mirror and recognize that you cannot possibly justify support for Trump to your children — especially your daughters,” said David Humphreys, a Missouri business executive who contributed more than $2.5 million to Republicans from the 2012 campaign cycle through this spring.

Bruce Kovner, a New York investor and philanthropist who with his wife has given $2.7 million to Republicans over the same period, was just as blunt. “He is a dangerous demagogue completely unsuited to the responsibilities of a United States president,” Mr. Kovner wrote in an email, referring to Mr. Trump.

Consider the periodical that this article was published in.

Anything coming out of the NYT is highly suspect, and more than likely is a liberal MSM hit-piece masquerading as fair and impartial “news”.

Do these fools realize that when our country is flooded with Muslims that only use women as puppy mills and they are allowed to bring more family members here, their daughters will end up living under Sharia Law?

I’m convinced their boy Jeb would have never survived the Clinton machine. These people need to get over their butt hurt but instead they are proving how much they HATE us deplorables down here in fly over country.

Agreed. Donald could pick up a good number of more votes just because of this.

“They still don’t understand.
The Trump campaign is powered by the energy of American voters, not big money donors.”

But the unwashed masses don’t understand that these big money donors have made the Republican party the incredibly successful entity it is today./s

All someone has to do is make allegations against a candidate, and we are supposed to assume that they are true?

Ignore this bunk, vote Trump and Republican and he will straighten them out. The media wants the Democrats to take the white house and if not that the congress.
