WATCH: Ric Grenell Calls on GOP Candidates to Drop Out, Endorse Trump After Indictment

Former Director of National Intelligence and U.S. Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell called on Republican presidential candidates to drop out of the race and endorse former President Donald Trump following the grand jury indictment of the 45th president Thursday night.

Grenell joined Rob Schmitt Tonight on Newsmax soon after the news and called on former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to withdraw from the race and other Republicans to abstain from entering. Addressing any viewer “who has been maybe a DeSantis supporter or a Nikki Haley supporter or a Vivek supporter,” Grenell said:

    Look, I think that it’s really important to understand what Democrats are doing to Republicans. And you’re naive to think that this is just about Donald Trump. This is about every single Republican; anyone who challenges the power of the Democrats. And so I think… all the other Republican candidates should drop out tonight. They should announce their support for Donald Trump. We should unify as a party and say we are not going to allow this to happen to the United States of America.

    I think for the people who maybe have been on the fence about Trump, maybe they don’t like mean tweets or something, I think they have to understand that you have to stop asking Donald Trump to be a nice guy because nice guys are what the Democrats want. They want us as Republicans to take this high road and they don’t want a fighter. They don’t want someone who is going to come in and change the system. So they keep calling for someone presidential or something and I think they’ve got to stop.

Uh, no.

[Free Vulcan]

Trump is in charge of his own destiny. He can come out of this on top if he chooses.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

I think Trump is less likely to fix what is broken than are most of the Republican candidates he would be running against.

And I am sure as hell not going to give him a sympathy vote.

[LMAO]

And I am sure as hell not going to give him a sympathy vote.

And voters don't vote for a president because they may or may not feel sorry for them

[Right_in_Virginia]

Will the same sentiment hold when the Marxists make their way to you?

[Right_in_Virginia]

And I am sure as hell not going to give him a sympathy vote.

Big whoop.  Neither will his supporters.  We've stronger reasons.

[Free Vulcan]

Will the same sentiment hold when the Marxists make their way to you?

I don't have a fraction of the money and manpower to defend myself, nor am I running for President. If Trump wants people to rally around him, he can prove himself to everyone by showing he's not a spinning and spiraling ADHD case.

That's all he has to do really.

When the Marxists come for me, there will be no civil order. They will be put down like rabid dogs.

[GtHawk]

Big whoop.  Neither will his supporters.  We've stronger reasons.

So, it's back to Trump doesn't need your votes? Just wondering because up thread it was if you don't vote for Trump you will be voting for Biden and I just kind of like to know.

[GtHawk]

Will the same sentiment hold when the Marxists make their way to you?

Will they haul me off to a 'American City' in an flying car? And no that crap isn't at all like the effort to reach the moon. I guess that Marxist ideas are AOK, just so long as they are Trump's Marxist ideas.

It appears Trump is pushing the American exceptionalism train, and I believe we are, but in 2014 he seemed to talk differently.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/trump-in-2014-american-exceptionalism-is-a-very-dangerous-te

I really don't care about the source if the quotes are accurate, my question is...which Trump are we dealing with today and which Trump will be dealing with if he is elected?

[roamer_1]

Will they haul me off to a 'American City' in an flying car? And no that crap isn't at all like the effort to reach the moon. I guess that Marxist ideas are AOK, just so long as they are Trump's Marxist ideas.

And there is. Big government Democrats facing off with Big government Tumpists as if there is some difference... When both are getting ready to herd everybody into their highly controllable cities.

It seems to me the only arguments are about the color of the wallpaper.

It sure as hell is not Conservative, and leaves no room for small government, self government, and individualism... Which are at the very core of what we do.

When the Marxists come for you @Free Vulcan you will sit in the Gulag of their choosing for as long as they want.

[GtHawk]

Who said that @GtHawk

If you would take note you would find that your fellow loyal Trump apologist has said it several times, including upthread.

[GtHawk]

When the Marxists come for you @Free Vulcan you will sit in the Gulag of their choosing for as long as they want.

Would that be one of those Freedom cities? I wonder if transportation will be by flying car

[catfish1957]

Can't decide whether you are sounding more like a broken record or an orange driven parrot.  Telling people that they will be attacked by marxist based on their GOP primary vote?  You've gone beyond FOS.

[catfish1957]

Would that be one of those Freedom cities? I wonder if transportation will be by flying car

Remember her silly response to this silly stupid Trump initiative?  I will give her 3 bonus points for consistency and innovation.  And docked 3 for sincerity   

They just can't sanely defend it, or where that $10-15T will come from to pay for it.

[Right_in_Virginia]

More likely you'll be hauled off by the jackboots in the FBI you're now so grateful for.

I did defend it and explained why.  Disagree if you choose, but don't lie.

[catfish1957]

(1) You replied
(2) You explained
(3) You failed to explain how it was to be funded.

Just where did I lie?

[LMAO]

4) Couldn't or didn't give any examples were it's worked

I recommend you lessen the time you spend braiding your navel lint and more time trying to understand what is happening in and to this country.  Put down your water pistol and give this a shot, for once.

[Right_in_Virginia]

4) Couldn't or didn't give any examples were it's worked

So what? 

[LMAO]

So what?

Lol...exactly

[Right_in_Virginia]

Lol...exactly

Exactly what?

[LMAO]

Exactly what?

Me:4) Couldn't or didn't give any examples were it's worked

You:So what?

In this debate, we all gave examples of Trump's idea failing. You failed to give any examples of it succeeding. But you don't care. You don't care about the costs or the record of failure. It's Trump. That's good enough for you. That's the same mindset the left has in it's pursuit of a green energy economy despite failure after failure and the cost

You said a while back that i don't understand the "bond" people like you have with Trump. I do. But that doesn't mean one has to follow him blindly

But, I'll give you a chance to find examples of his plan succeeding. Specifics.

Here's the thread.
https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,495041.0.html

Lot's of specific examples were this has not turned out as hoped. You gave no examples to counter. All you did was hint that posters were afraid of progress and innovation. That's not a counter point

[GtHawk]

More likely you'll be hauled off by the jackboots in the FBI you're now so grateful for.

Now that you made an unfounded, unwarranted and asinine observation be so kind as to GFY! I will not genuflect at the altar of Trump no matter how many lies you spew. Isn't it difficult to see your computer with your lips so locked to that great orange behind?

I'm not disagreeing with anything you've posted on this thread.  It IS a gratuitous swipe at Pres. Trump bringing him into the subject. 

The malignancy toward the man, despite the fact he's EXACTLY what this so-called bullshit excuse for a Republic NEEDS right now,

...despite his PEFECT handling of the economy, bringing REAL jobs with salaries upon which you could buy a house and start a family.

They ignore all that!  It's why I don't join in the conversation until the bullshit gets 'knee-deep'.

******************

Furthermore, this claiming 'I support his when he's good and I'll criticize him when he's bad'...bullsh*t...,

It's been pointed out right here in this thread that you're all insane if you can't get behind President Trump 100%.

Get your noses off the bark and look around for chrissake.

Perfect???

The way Trump chose to handle COVID had a very direct and adverse effect on the economy.  He clearly had no freaking clue what to do, so he just abdicated decision-making responsibility to scientists who neither understood nor cared about the economy.

That was an economic disaster whose impact is still killing us today.

A disaster of MONUMENTAL proportions - And not just economically... Our liberty has been damaged greatly... And thanks to outlawing anti-virals, millions died needlessly.

How can anyone endorse more of that? And now, federal cities?   

[Hoodat]

Maybe if Trump started acting like a Conservative, he might get more support on this forum.

Ah, memories.  Sweden's death rate is 32% less than the USA.  Donald is out there trashing Florida's response to COVID.  He expected us to lock down.  This stuff should be kryptonite to his campaign, but that isn't how cults work.

[kevindavis007]

Right.  Besides no more people over the age of 75 should be President

The fact that he ceded control of this country to the likes of Dr. Fauci says a lot. In fact, Trump should have fired Fauci.

What do the right to life, liberty and the rule of law have to do to get more support?   

[Free Vulcan]

He had a veto pen to prevent the biggest run up in federal debt (even CPI adjusted) than any POTUS him and before.  How about that being  enough for us to find an alternative?

I'd prefer a fiscal conservative, not one saying silly shit about Freedom Cities and Jetson Cars.  BTW, you still haven't answered the question of where than $10-15T is going to come from to build these dens of socialism.   This is stuff or FDR and LBJ on steroids.

At least the dims don't pretend....  DJT made a campaign promise to reduce the debt.

And you know it.

[libertybele]

@Hoodat  @Right_in_Virginia

Conservatism? If we are talking 'fiscal' conservatism, no -- he is not a fiscal conservative.

President Trump did have this country headed in a much more conservative direction then we have been headed and I think that truly needs to be recognized; energy independence, low unemployment, renegotiated trade deals, control for the most part over our borders, etc.

I take issue with him for not stopping the riots in the beginning and problems have erupted since then.

I take issue with him going after a very conservative governor.

Unfortunately, he has resorted back to his 'bullying' tactics which will get him nowhere.

Secondly, I don't see the leftists allowing him to run again; they will keep finding ways to restrain him as he is/was the voice of over 80,000,000.  Those 80,000,000 people are a treat to their globalist agenda and the destruction of our country.

Just my two cents.

What has this relentlessly tedious rant to do with standing and supporting the right to life, liberty and the rule of law that is being publicly trampled with complete abandon?

[DefiantMassRINO]

No, let the unwashed masses choose the next GOP Presidential Nominee.

Primaries are supposed be a Darwinian campaign of survival of the fittest.

You don't see prominemt lions calling on other lions to drop out of the race to be dominant male lion of the pride.

 

Other than the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz, have you ever seen a lion version of Lindsey Graham in the wild?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Not gonna happen. We out here don't put all our eggs in the Trump FedGov basket.

The only good news is:  when you're sitting in that gulag you'll have all the uninterrupted time you'll need to finally figure out what a foolish non-sequitur your statement is.

You are trying to make a big grab way above your political pay grade, but the rah-rah nat'l TrumpSavior meme just comes up grasping for straws.

You might want to stay in your playpen, political two year olds shouldn't be trying to walk around in the wilderness.

[massadvj]

The Democrats want Trump as the nominee, so we should just give it to him. Makes sense. Not.
