RNC Chair Reince Priebus, Newt Gingrich, and Rudy Giuliani are planning to hold an intervention to try to get Donald Trump the help that he needs to rescue his sinking campaign.
Key Republicans close to Donald Trump’s orbit are plotting an intervention with the candidate after a disastrous 48 hours led some influential voices in the party to question whether Trump can stay at the top of the Republican ticket without catastrophic consequences for his campaign and the GOP at large.
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 compromise much of his innermost circle of influential advisers – to aid in the attempt to rescue his candidacy.
The Republicans are worried that Trump will reject the concept of an intervention, and refuse to listen to them.
In fact, the GOP is long past the point where an intervention would be helpful or useful with Trump. The damage has already been done. It would seem that the best case scenario would be that Trump stops behaving like a lunatic and doesn’t take the entire Republican Party down with him in November.
Even if he wants to change, Trump has proven again and again that he can’t. When he kicked the baby out of his rally in Virginia, Trump started out by saying all of the right things, but he has no impulse control, so seconds later he blurted out what he really meant and kicked a mother and crying baby out of his rally.
The idea that a major political party is considering an intervention for their candidate with nearly three months to go before Election Day is mind blowing. Republicans are practically admitting that Donald Trump is unstable, and he needs help right now.
