Report: Rudy and Newt attempting Trump ‘intervention’

Posted by | August 3, 2016 13:46 | Filed under: Politics


The Republican Party has called on two Trump allies for an “intervention” to correct his behavior.

Republican National Committee head Reince Priebus, former Republican New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among the Trump endorsers hoping to talk the real estate mogul into a dramatic reset of his campaign in the coming days, sources tell NBC News.

The group of GOP heavyweights hopes to enlist the help of Trump’s children — who comprise much of his innermost circle of influential advisers — to aid in the attempt to rescue his candidacy. Trump’s family is considered to have by far the most influence over the candidate’s thinking at what could be a make-or-break moment for his campaign.

Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Wednesday he had heard nothing of such a meeting and disputed that it would be necessary, saying on FOX News that “the only need we have for an intervention is with some media types who keep saying things that aren’t true.”

“The candidate’s in control of his own campaign,” he said.

GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence also told FOX News he has “never heard anything about a meeting of that kind,” dismissing the idea as “inside baseball discussions.”

But a source familiar with the discussions around a planned meeting tells NBC News “the intervention is real, and overdue.”

    I don’t believe there is a “rehab house” that deals with what ails Donald.

    How candidates run their presidential campaign — including how they respond to stressful situations and crises, and who they select to operate various aspects of said campaign — is an early indicator and reflection of how they would behave and perform if ever elected as POTUS.

      He’d need an egoectomy and a skin augmentation for starters.

      She has to have someone explain what the word intervention means. Four letter words she can handle but four syllable words are beyond her comprehension.
