Big GOP Donors Urge RNC to Cut Ties with Trump

written by Jeanine Martin October 15, 2016

While small donors continue to fund Trump, some large Republican donors are urging the Republican National Committee to cut ties with Trump after the 11 year old sexual audio tape came to light.  A group of wealthy Republicans told the New York Times they have told the RNC to sever all times with Trump. From Fox News, 

At some point, you have to look in the mirror and recognize that you cannot possibly justify support for Trump to your children — especially your daughters,” David Humphreys, a Missouri businessman who has donated more than $2 million to the Republican party since the 2012 election, told the paper.

 

From the NY Times,

Bruce Kovner, a New York investor and philanthropist who with his wife has given $2.7 million to Republicans over the same period, was just as blunt. “He is a dangerous demagogue completely unsuited to the responsibilities of a United States president,” Mr. Kovner wrote in an email, referring to Mr. Trump.

“Even for loyalists, there is a line beyond which the obvious moral failings of a candidate are impossible to disregard,” he wrote. “That line has been clearly breached.”

Mr. Kovner argued that the Republican National Committee should shift its attention to candidates who reflected its core values, like free markets and limited government. “I hope the R.N.C. sticks to candidates who articulate these principles!” he said

Some of these big donors have turned their criticism to National Republican Committee Chair Reince Priebus,

“The R.N.C. long ago should have cut ties with Donald Trump,” said William E. Oberndorf, a California investor who has given more than $3 million to Republicans since 2012. “Reince should be fired and replaced with someone who has the competence and leadership skills to rebuild the R.N.C.”

Even some of Priebus’s long time Wisconsin supporters have urged him step away from his allegiance to Trump,

“Reince Priebus has to ask, how much of his soul does he want to sell for Donald Trump at this point?” said Charlie Sykes, a conservative talk show host in Milwaukee, calling on Mr. Priebus to “man up.”

Referring to Mr. Priebus, Mr. Sykes asked, “Is he going to allow Donald Trump to throw Paul Ryan under the bus?”

It appears Priebus is between a rock and a hard place in this election.

How soon after Trump’s defeat will Reince Priebus resign?  Within days is my best guess.
