GOP Tries to Limit Damage from Trump

[DonViejo]

“Republican insiders are reconciling themselves to the idea that Donald Trump won’t be exiting the stage anytime soon — and their main concern now is limiting his damage to their party,” The Hill reports.

“The GOP establishment is almost universally hostile to Trump, who has soared in the 2016 polls on the back of his celebrity, his outspoken statements on immigration and trade deals, and media coverage of his antics.”

Politico: “Just 35 days since the brash real-estate mogul launched his presidential campaign with all the subtlety of a rhinoceros, Republican candidates have been gasping for air, choked off from media access and desperate to break out beyond an egomaniacal celebrity who is polling better than most of the field.”

2. They really ought to stop insulting him, and even engaging him altogether.

It just gives him more attention and blows back on them.

3. Translation: we don't say those things in public

Everyone is talking about how he is exposing their base but really he is talking through the dog whistles. They like dog whistles because they don't actually have to say certain things....but they all know what is meant.
