Trump, RNC Plan 'Come to Jesus' Meeting

Source: The Daily Beast

The Trump campaign and Republican National Committee heads have scheduled what one source describes to Politico as an "emergency meeting" to repair what some RNC staffers see as a floundering campaign. Some Trump staffers are allegedly encouraging the meeting, telling Politico that “they finally realize they need the RNC for their campaign because, let’s face it, there is no campaign.” A Trump spokesperson dismissed the meeting as a routine conversation.

I'm sure a luncheon meeting on a Friday will solve everyone's concerns before the weekend begins.

But the difference between Don the Con and the kid in your posted image is that Trump refuses to believe he's a dunce. He's so cocksure that he's the smartest kid in the class. Makes him even more thick-headed.

It is Trump campaign staff and RNC.

So how is that going to work to change anything without Trump there?

Your reasons for your predictions were valid. It is possible you may miss on the timing.

I don't think the GOP can let this continue, but there seems to be no delicate way to pull the plug. I think if they are gonna cut him loose, they will do so before the closing ceremony in Rio.

RNC: We're having a "Come to Jesus" meeting with Donald Trump.

Trump: Thank you for coming, but the name is Donald, not Jesus.

If that doesn't work, they'll just wrap det cord around his neck and tell him they're going to set it off if he doesn't quit fucking up.

The only chance they have is that Jehovah will intercede on Trump's behalf.
