RNC chief voices concern about Trump campaign’s direction

Frustrated Republicans have signed a letter urging RNC chairman Reince Priebus to stop helping Donald Trump win the White House, and instead focus its resources on protecting vulnerable Senate and House candidates. “The RNC should shift its strategy and its resources to convince voters not to give Hillary Clinton the “blank check” of a Democrat-controlled Congress to advance her big government agenda”. She lied. She lied. A recent poll has Trump coming in fourth among voters under 30 – behind Hillary Clinton and third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.

“She lied, she lied, and she lied over and over and over again”, he declared.

The Trump campaign and the RNC entered into a joint fundraising agreement in May which benefits the campaign, the national party, and state parties across the nation.

The two are already in regular contact and this particular conversation was described to CNN as not confrontational – as a Time Magazine piece suggested Thursday – but rather as a broad overview of the state of the race and the ramifications of Trump’s freewheeling style. Priebus replied. “Here’s the difference – Donald Trump and Mike Pence will tell the truth!” The concern on whether to endorse Donald J. Trump as the Presidential nominee has been a convoluted subject for the past couple of months. “They’ll protect our southern border”.

“I will let you know on the 9th, on November 9th … when we find out whether or not that is all good”, Trump told guest host Eric Bolling. If they want to do that they can save me a lot of time and a lot of energy.

“We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record-breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landslide”, read a draft text of the letter to Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, which was obtained by the Politico newspaper. “I funded my primaries, and I spent less than anybody else”.

“She got elected – she did nothing”, Trump said.

He then pivoted to a broader critique of her trade policies. “They’re exhausted of China coming in and dropping steel all over the place to put your companies out of business, so we have to go to China to get our steel, which is happening very quickly”, he said.
