http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...s-plot-to-ban-donald-trump-from-debates/One idea that came up was to urge three leading candidates — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor; Mr. Walker; and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — to band together and state that they would not participate in any debate in which Mr. Trump was present, using his refusal to rule out a third-party bid as a pretext for taking such a hard line. The thinking, according to a Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full complement of candidates.

It's official. The powers that be (including the RNC) will throw the election to the democrats before they let Trump get a shot at the GOP nomination.
The RNC gave it to Obama in 2008. They're going to give it to Hillary in 2016.

I'll bet it wasn't an idea birthed by any one of the three leading candidates named. 
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Why should we suspect any less from the RNC? The party that gives you McCain, Graham, Boehner, and McConnell.
They just want to go along to get along. Two heads to the same snake.

I hope you're right. but I've learned never to underestimate the corruption and idiocy of the RNC. Priority #1 is to eliminate any non establishment candidates from contention. I watched the RNC throw away a whole generation of conservative voters in order to keep Ron Paul from having an opportunity to get the nomination. The difference is, Donald Trump appeals to many in the GOP who could be considered mainstream. None of the mainstream members of the party gave a damn when the RNC put old libertarian Ron Paul through the "process". They're going to get their eyes opened and be pissed about it when they see it happen to "their" candidate. I said it back then. You may not like Ron Paul, but if you've got a brain, you should be outraged at what the establishment is doing to him. They're going to do what they can to get Trump out of the way now.

lol..... Trump would have some nice complements for them if they pulled something like that. The Rep party would really be shooting themselves in the foot if they did something like that.
None of the "leading three" would be worth electing if they puss-out on a debate for that reason.

DONALD will be in the debates.
FOX will demand that for the ratings.
GOP will make sure DONALD is included so that he has no excuse to go third party.

RINO, pretty much what most Republicans are these days. The only saving grace is if the Libertarian Party takes over the RINO Party and changes the course of politics in America. Darn shame the disenfranchised Republicans in America haven't accepted the fact that the party is dead and a re-birth as Libertarian is the only salvation.

Trump's fundamental approach is scaring the crap out of both sides. Kinda funny actually. None of them have a clue as to how to deal with him.

The GOP will make sure Trump is included in hopes he will make himself look bad., and they will attempt to sandbag him with bullsh&t questions.

even with trump, the grand old party has little chance of beating the hillbilly.
without trump, they have zero chance.
when republicans start vying for the illegal alien votes, one knows we're in deep doo-doo.

I am not typically not a Trump fan as I think he's too narcissistic for my taste. But, he has the platform that most of the common US does not, to say the things we want to say and most importantly, he is wealthy enough to survive the consequences.

The only thing that can be depended on with the gop is they will never support a conservative, never allow a libertarian voice be heard, never even offer defence against liberal progressivism, and never do a dmned thing freedom or the American way of life.
