Dozens of Republicans to urge RNC to cut off funds for Trump

The open letter pushes the RNC to shift resources to Senate and House races.

By Anna Palmer

08/11/16 01:30 PM EDT


More than 70 Republicans have signed an open letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus urging him to stop spending any money to help Donald Trump win in November and shift those contributions to Senate and House races.

The letter comes as a number of Republican senators and high-profile GOP national security officials have come forward saying they cannot vote for Trump.

“We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck,” states a draft of the letter obtained by POLITICO. “This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day.”

No fan of Trump, but this letter is BS, coming from nothing but operatives whose office or position is proceeded by "former". To them I say, Trump signed the loyalty pledge, so deal with it.

If I'm not mistaken.....Trump almost immediately went back on that loyalty pledge and stated he would not honor it.....thus rendering the loyalty pledge (which was solely implemented because of Trump) null and void.

All he is going to do is launder it back through his business. Mr. Self-fund dug his own hole. Let him figure out how to fix it. Limited resources would be better spent limiting the damage in the a House and Senate.

On March 29 Trump disavowed any pledge, he has shown no loyalty anyway

These groups of establishment RINOs don't like their corrupt source of income and power from going away. They will fight it tooth and nail. Just like all the other leftist liberal democrats.

When I look at that list of names, they come off as a badge of honor for Trump.  Jeff Flake hates him?  That's a mark in Trump's favor as far as I'm concerned.

Cuts both ways, doesn't it? I agree with you, and I can agree with geronl's comments about Trump disavowing the pledge on 3/29. This is easy to do in Trumplandia, where the only constant is inconsistency.

Cut off his funding for what? He's not running any ads, he doesn't have a ground game. I think he can buy his own jet fuel.

The lack of Trump ads on TV is becoming SO obvious.  There are Hillary ads left and right, but nary a one for Trump.

Everything still points to his trying to lose so that Hillary can enter the WH as per plan.....

(I don't think he has a Victory Center yet in this county in Ohio, which has been a bell weather county in the last four elections.  Dumb).

I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories in general, and this one is no exception.  That said, he sure does seem to be marching to the beat of his own drummer on this.  I think that's what many people like about him.

I'm no fan of conspiracy theories either, but this one has so much evidence piling up every day that one would have to deliberately deny what's happening to say it's not a possibility.

And I'm bewildered by people who think a gaffe or two or three a day and a lunge leftward are things to be admired......
