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.
This is news because? Of course the GOP doesnt want to see Trump get the nomination.
I had no idea you were a Trump supporter.


Never said I was. And I am not. Your comprehension is really very weak. And your ability to discern is at about zero.
You have already proven your abilioty to comprehend in several languages is, um, sub par.
So what was the purpose of your post again?


"abilioty"

LOL.

And you want to talk about comprehension.

A little clue for you. When I make a thread, it doesn't necessarily mean I am either for or against the issue or the information. Were you an intelligent person instead of a frothing-at-the-mouth hyperpartisan with the soul of burnt charcoal and the friendliness of a locust, you would hace already known this.

Try again, this time, with a couple of functioning brain cells.

Good luck with that one.
Congratulations! You can spot a typo.
Unfortunately you think a typo somehow relates to reading comprehension. Another poorly informed opinion of yours.
You are amongthe most partisan shitheads on this board. You never fail to post stuff detrimental to Republicans or salvaging of Democrats.

So, you did not understand what I wrote at all. I expected that of you.
All you are capable of is trolling and insults. That is the outer limit of your abilities.
Your butthurt, although it is entertaining to read, is just so way under par, it almost makes me feel sad for you.

But only almost.
 
TheRabbi? Come here, bonehead. Stat is a democrat: what do you think he is going to say. You are a far right reactionary corporate capitalist who would let the poor die if it was in your power to save you from paying taxes. What do you think people are going to think you are going to say?

AAAAWWW...that hurts.
 
Democrats are wishful thinking again.
Nonsense.

It has nothing to do with 'democrats.'

Trump is a disaster for the GOP – he's gotten the entire Party off message, looking like incompetent buffoons, and has exposed just how unpopular and feckless the rest of the republican candidates are.

If that was true I don't think you'd be this upset over it
 
Of course we are. We want to win the election.

All Republicans and other T Party advocates should stand before a mirror and watch their mouth movements as they practice saying, "Madame President!"

No point. Carly is unlikely to win the nomination and Hillary will be on her way to prison next year.

Of course it's true – it's all Trump, all the time – nothing of substance or consequence, just Trump saying stupid things making the GOP look just as stupid.
 
I don't get why they are whining about the money?

Ever since Citizens United they can spend whatever they like to defeat T-Rump. It isn't as thought the Koch bros wouldn't bankroll that amount so they can have Walker be their puppet in the Whitehouse?
not only politically bank roll it, but they will get a fricking tax deduction for their donations as a 501c4, a supposed ''charity''...where is Lois Lerner when we need her? :D

The thread is about republicans trying to deal with the disaster that is Trump, not HRC.

Consider addressing the topic rather than failed attempts to deflect with stupid statements.

That's what they said about Bill and after two outstanding terms and an eight year assault by the Republicans he left office with a 65% approval rating. You folks just never seem to catch on!!

lol

Given the GOP's incompetence thus far, republicans have good reason to worry.

They created the frankenstein that is T-Rump. The blend of billionaire checkbook with extremist rightwanker opinions.

Now they are trying to fund the pitchforks and flaming torches to bring him down?
Trump....extreme right wing positions..... I'll have to think about that one

There has to be a first time for everything! :D

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...

Yeah....one of the ideas he presented was higher taxes on the rich. That's just the opposite of what the Republicans started doing in the early 1980's. Low taxes on the rich has caused two things:
