Donald Trump’s campaign is considering hitting his Republican enemies where it hurts: Their wallets.
As Trump moves to work in closer concert with the Republican National Committee apparatus, some campaign aides and allies are pushing him to block lucrative party contracts from consultants who worked to keep him from winning the nomination, according to four sources familiar with the discussions.
“The Never Trump vendors and supporters shouldn’t be in striking distance of the RNC, any of its committees or anyone working on behalf of Donald Trump,” said a Trump campaign official.
The blacklist talk — which sources say mostly targets operatives who worked for Never Trump groups, but also some who worked for Trump’s GOP presidential rivals or their supportive super PACs — strikes against a Republican consulting class that Trump has assailed as a pillar of a corrupt political establishment. It’s a sweet bit of turnabout for Trump aides and consultants who in recent months were warned that their work for the anti-establishment billionaire real estate showman could diminish their own career prospects.
If Trump’s team makes good on the blacklist, it could elevate a whole new crop of vendors, while penalizing establishment operatives who attacked him, often in deeply personal terms. But it also could put Trump’s campaign at a compe ive disadvantage as it scrambles to quickly beef up capabilities in highly technical campaign tactics that it largely eschewed in the primary, including voter data, direct mail and phone banking.
Newly minted presidential nominees typically install staff at their respective parties’ national committees, and have been known to steer contracts to at least some of their favored vendors, which often provokes backlash. Since Trump all but clinched the GOP nomination this month with a lopsided victory in Indiana’s primary, his staffers including political director Rick Wiley have spent considerable time at the RNC’s Capitol Hill headquarters discussing joint fundraising and field operations.
Trump needs to take the high road, forget the pettiness and unite the party. He is gonna need every single vote to win and if he does, a lot of help to get this country back on track. Besides, it's not like he had any big campaign staff around him - from what I hear, it was pretty lean and trim. NeverTrump needs to give it up - the republican voters have spoken and they need to accept the will of the people for change - no matter how much it upsets their gravy train. Get on board the Trump train and accept that the people are fed up. They don't care any more about conservatism because they've voted them in and nothing changed.
It's almost like he is trying to fracture the GOP.
"Trump needs to take the high road"
"bleeding from somewhere"
"I know where she went -- it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it," Trump said, screwing up his face, as the crowd laughed and cheered. "No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."
"She was favored to win, and she got schlonged,"
Exactly. It'll be his single, best accomplishment.
Not it will, it is.
The funny thing about this is that it's going to cause the RNC to be held in a Denny's where everyone has to pay their own way since all of the big donors don't want to put their names on it.
