Donald trump promised to be a disruptive president. Right now the thing hes disrupting the most is his own White House Team.

saying donors backing someone with a slim chance of winning should seek a commitment from the candidate to drop out and endorse the person with the best chance of defeating mr. trump by february 26th. that s after iowa, new hampshire, nevada and south carolina all vote in their primaries and caucuses. so february 26th, that date. do you see that happening, people dropping out then? i think donors should also ask if a candidate is going to basically say it is okay for donald trump to be indicted or make excuses for him or validate donald trump, do not give money to that candidate. if you re not going to challenge donald trump, then don t at all endorse that candidate at all. i think that is even a more important thing, so that s why somebody like a chris christie or asa hutchinson or will hurd, who is saying it is not good for the republican party to have an indicted candidate, we should not be in any way validating
