“You have to deal with Trump berating you every day of the week,” the strategist said of both groups’ considerations.

For Masters Of the Universe, they sure have some thin skin.

They can’t do it. Not a single Republican trick can take down Trump. Personal destruction, dirt slinging, narrative or lying won’t work. He’s immune to the GOP playbook. But if they try they do so at their own peril. It’s no secret the Koch’s will take any GOP’er over any Democrat and if they go after Trump they get the Democrat. It doesn’t matter what Trump has said or not said if you fuck with him he’s going to fuck back. If they try to take this man down he will do whatever he can to hurt someone for that. He’s got a guaranteed kill shot with a 3rd party run and he will do that. Anyone thinking he won’t because of what he’s said in the past has not been paying attention to the man. He will do it and his supporters will follow. If the GOP thinks it’s in mess now they need to imagine what it will be like when the Tee Party…T for Trump…becomes a permanent anti-GOP circus.

Trump stays. There is no other option.

The only other reasonable (to me) option is to bite the bullet now, band together and create a schism in the GOP. Make it clear that the more establishment-type, true conservatives, money-conservatives, etc., are on this side … and all else are other there.

They’re looking at a serious splintering anyway, either this election or the next.

Republicans hatched plans for a “guerilla” offensive late last month helmed by conservative operative Liz Mair. Mair described the effort as “highly confidential” to attract major donors “who are very happy that their fingerprints will be kept off things.”

Liz – could use some help in the offensive gir-illa effort–Carly Fiorina, $ister$arah and her spawn, MicheleBachmann, OilyTart, The Fox Vixens… oh yeah! And WhinnyColter.

And these are suppose to be the foreign policy tough guys who would should us what leadership is really supposed to be about. Every last one is a whiny crybaby who folds faster than space near a black hole when anybody challenges them or asks a “gotcha” (aka real) question.

No one understands better than the Koch brothers how to keep their fingerprints off a hit. We’re told the PAC is already in place, so go fund it already.

I think the truth is that they are all talk but too chicken to act, as if they can somehow scare Trump off by suggesting they will get serious about taking him down. Clearly, he could not care less.

So, GOP billionaires, get to it!

LOL! Not sure if you meant whiny or whinny when describing Colter – but both fit. She’s a whiny bad horse who shits all over the American sidewalk.

Nothing like approaching a task from the vantage point of a jewel thief.

Great observation. “Yeah, we’ll threaten him with our larger pool of money! … Yeah, that’ll scare him in to pulling out or calming down … Yeah! Wait, wha? What? – He’s still throwing multi-colored monkey shit at everyone! Man, does this mean we gotta go through with it? We’ll get our hands dirty!!” (sayeth the Koch boys and their brethren)

Few things would entertain me more than a shit-flinging contest between Trump and the Koch boys.

Hey Cock brothers–instead of launching a campaign to take down Trump, why not rent a bus, get on it, pick up Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio and JEB!, then drive it off a cliff? That would be soooooo much better. Please, do that.

If we could just get Al Franken to realize that his comedic skills are really the best way to serve his country he could take this guy down pronto. All these smart people with so much money can’t see that the solution isn’t political, because Trump isn’t playing by political rules. His ego makes him completely vulnerable to personal attacks, so someone has to drag this guy into a “feud” and he will beat himself.

All the Koch brothers want for Christmas is a candidate they can control, but this year it looks like they just get a lump of tRump dump in their stocking.
