Trump: ‘It would be helpful’ if Republicans would help him
Washington Post ^ | June 18, 2016 | Jill Colvin And Michelle Rindels, AP

Posted on 06/18/2016 4:46:34 PM PDT by Innovative

Donald Trump railed Saturday against efforts by some frustrated Republicans planning a last-ditch effort to try to thwart him from becoming the party’s nominee, threatening at one point to stop fundraising if Republicans don’t rally around him.

Speaking at a theater at the Treasure Island hotel on the Las Vegas strip, Trump referred to “an insurgent group” trying to deny him delegates at the party’s July convention.

At this point any anti-Trump effort, regardless of the intentions, ONLY helps Hillary Clinton become president.

Trump better give up on the idea of help from the Republican Party, if he really is deluded enough to expect such help, which I kind of doubt. They’ve worked against him since Day 1 so why would they all of a sudden help him? Most of them would rather Clinton win than Trump.

The only REPUBLICIANS that Trump needs are his ARMY of SUPPORTERS which is building all the time, day in and day out...

WE, the Trump Army, don’t need no stinking GOPe, RINOs to back us up...we have America to do that...

He also said that it would be helpful if they provided financial support.

If they don’t, he said he would go back to doing it ‘the easy way’ (his words) and fund his campaign himself.

Last summer, when asked, he said he was ready to use a billion of his own money for the race.

That was at about 45 to 50 minutes into his Las Vegas rally

Now he wants financial support, doesn’t he. All that talk about not needing money from anyone, that he can self fund, was all a bunch of BS, wasn’t it.. Rather stupid of him to go around saying that when he very well kew there was no way he would want to spend his money to fund a presidential campaign.

Trump said he would self-fund his primary run.

UNIPARTY operatives are more likely to thwart, dismiss, ridicule, undermine Trump (or worse). They are aghast at the thought of a non-politician at the head of the government, making fun of their fellow gang members, their propagandists, their entertainers, their sycophants. Most are in disbelief. They are throwing everything at him to deny him the office. On the chance that he does get in they are laying the groundwork to undermine, disrupt, disavow, dismantle, destabilize his effectiveness.

There's funding, and there's funding. Small donations, from the multitudes, don't come with strings attached. Funding from large corporate donors, or PACs usually has many strings attached. Most people can understand the difference.

He needs a grassroots army inside D.C. to battle the corrupt gang members entrenched there.

Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task. - "The Law"; Bastiat

He’s still talking about his monumental wins in states where people don’t get to vote.

The Donald will sweep the Electoral College in an historic landslide with or without these venal scumbags. Remember, these same vermin are the very reason so many real "conservatives" support Trump and disdain them and their treacherous ilk.

Those establishment GOP who do not join our righteous movement will be destroyed via their own petulant hand.

Yes. They are very arrogant and used to getting their own way, running things. They can’t believe that some vulgar “plebeian” has been able to garner enough support to threaten them. They are sort of like the Bourbons, the Romanoffs - determined to cling to power, even though times have passed them by.

“All that talk about not needing money from anyone, that he can self fund, was all a bunch of BS, wasn’t it..”

Trump said he would self fund his primary campaign and he did. He never said anything about the general election.

Right now, it's Trump vs. the muslim controlled anti-American demoncrat/republican party and the muslim controlled anti-American press.

You make your choice brethen. What a maroon

I say Old Chap, I believe Trump has spent about $55 Million of his scratch so far. He also drops close to another personal half-Mil $$ every time he fires up Trump Force One.

Mayhaps you might consider vigorously tonguing a feces-smeared swine rump. Just a thought...

Douchecanoe. You’ve lost your mind to whine about the only person in politics not a traitor.
