GOPers hatching an anti-Trump plan...

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/05/us/politics/talk-in-gop-turns-to-a-stop-donald-trump-campaign.html

Quiet conversations have begun in recent weeks among some of the Republican Party’s biggest donors and normally competing factions, all aimed at a single question: How can we stopDonald Trump?

Republican strategists and donors have assembled focus groups to test negative messages about Mr. Trump. They have amassed dossiers on his previous support for universal health care and higher taxes. They have even discussed the creation of a “super PAC” to convince conservatives that Mr. Trump is not one of them.

But the mammoth big-money network assembled by Republicans in recent years is torn about how best to defuse the threat Mr. Trump holds for their party, and haunted by the worry that any concerted attack will backfire.

In phone calls, private dinners and occasional consultations among otherwise rivalrous outside groups, many have concluded that Mr. Trump’s harsh manner and continued attacks on immigrants and women were endangering the party’s efforts to compete in the general election. Yet after committing hundreds of millions of dollars to shape the Republican primary contest and groom a candidate who can retake the White House, the conservative donor class is finding that money — even in an era ofsuper PACs and billion-dollar presidential campaigns — is a devalued currency in the blustery, post-policy campaign fashioned by Mr. Trump, driven not by seven-figure advertising campaigns but by Twitter feuds and unending free publicity...

...The cost of an anti-Trump campaign would be daunting: Reshaping opinions about Mr. Trump, a candidate with universal name recognition and a knack for garnering free airtime and column inches, could cost as much as $20 million. A sustained campaign aimed at Fox News viewers could cost $2 million a week, one Republican consultant working for a rival candidate estimated, while a more targeted effort, aimed at Iowa caucus-goers later this fall, would require as much as $10 million...

This is what is being reported, but I am personally thinking that Trump's GOP detractors are underestimating him.

Discuss.

the gop wants control, Trump cannot be controlled.

what does one offer a billionaire?
how do you bribe someone that has more than you?
how do you threaten someone that can take it or leave it OR do worse to you in return?

Trump being hunted by the gop "moderates" only make him more popular with anyone that's tired of the same old bullshit.

Of the crowd of assbags in the race, he's the only leader, all the rest are followers.

I respect your opinion on this issue.

That being said, Reince Preibus, according to RNC rules, can theoretically call a boatload of Superdelegates into existence right before the convention in order to stop Trump if he wants to. It's still political wheeling and dealing, no matter how you slice it.

sure thing he could.

They were thinking of doing to RR, I'm certain of it. But when someone is really popular, it would be political suicide to take that step for any goper up for election.

just imagine the outrage of not getting to vote (except by write in) for who you wanted b/c of some slick move

well...anything YOU think, can't be right...since anyone who is a Hillary lover, must be terribly uninformed.

This thread is not about me at all. Your comprehension is extremely weak.

Sorry...but anyone who is for Hillary, has to be an idiot...I just can't get past that...

What you're really saying is that any Republican who votes for Hillary is an idiot and that's a no brainer.....with or without Hillary they're all idiots!

I believe ANYONE who would vote for Cankles, is an idiot.

Sadly she is but the worst candidate for POTUS. Most of the others, in either party, aren't much better.

But, it does not work and is most illogical.

Hillary is known and Trump is not. We know Cankles is a liar, thief, corrupt and a tool of the elite. Trump may be too, but we don't know it today.

Hate to continue this topic but they could find a leftist r drug dealer to take the rap.

In fact, that may be the easy part...

No, if the Left did it they would make it a Tea Party false flag. Hmm the GOP might do that too

Yeah, if the Left did it.
But I am talking about if the right did it.

You could see through a Tea party false flag or any story line the left could come up with. It just wouldn't make sense.

However, the simplest lie, let alone the most outrageous one you could come up with, could be used t implicate O'Donnell, Chelsea Clinton or even Dennis Kucinich!

Hell, the Feds would perp walk Bernie Sanders just for conspiracy through inciting anti-wealth sentiments. in a public forum.
