The GOP establishment is getting scared of Donald Trump’s popularity. Nikki Haley, governor of South Carolina and hand picked by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell to deliver the response to last night State of the Union address, confirmed that not only did she purposely target Donald Trump but that the speech had been approved by Republican leaders.
Bizarrely, when the Tea Party Republicans moved the establishment back to the Right there was very little resistance to the idea. In fact, the smartest Republicans used the movement to win gubernatorial and federal House and Senate seats. But now that much of the Republican constituency is rallying around Donald Trump for a Presidential candidate, the establishment is actively resisting.
If the GOP wants to lock their chances for the Presidential race, they need to start throwing some weight behind an electable nominee. Donald Trump has been in the lead for months now, so why is the republican leadership hesitant?

Although, Trump is making a very good showing in the polls he is not a shoe in for the Republican nomination. He will need everyone of us to vote in the primary if he is to win. Some of us live in a closed primary state and will need to register as a Republican in order to vote for him in the primary. In closed primary states Democrats or Independent cannot vote for Trump in the PRIMARIES unless you have registered as a Republican. Go to your tax/voting office to change your party affiliation to Republican. Do so quickly there are deadlines and it must be done before the primary. Jeb is counting on Trump not getting the primary votes…he must have more than 50% in the primary or the STATE can nominate whoever they want. Jeb keeps saying Trump won’t get the nomination and is hanging on to the promise the GOP gave him. The super pac gave Jeb $128 million to run and he’s going to spend it til the bitter end. WHY DO YOU THINK JEB IS STILL IN THE RACE WHEN HE’S DOING SO BADLY. If you don’t vote for Trump in the Primaries, then he might NOT even get the Nomination to run for President in the Election. Most of you will know more about this than I do but here is the list of states that Wikipedia show as closed primary states: AL, AZ,CA, CO, CT. DE, DC, FL, KS, KY, ME, MD, MA, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OK, OR, PA,RI, SD, UT, WV, WY

Your an idiot and a Muslim apparently the two go together!
Shes establishment GOP which sadly needs to go as well. Term limits, special interest money, this is why Lindsey Graham and co are freaking
I hope the people of South Carolina take your$#%&!@*out of office .
Thank you for your take on Obama’s speech. Thank you for your expression of what needs to be done this coming election. We need more with like thinking in Washington!!!!!
No respect for this one either. Unless she has enough backbone to fly the southern flag. She lets the racist control her and what she said about Trump well hope she don’t have to depend on my vote for anything.
Yes she admitted it was about trump. Then she said it wasn’t about trump. Just another GOP establishment zombie.
She wasn’t suppose to be campaigning for GOP. She was suppose to make comments on nobama’s speech.
GOP totally out of touch. I’m a conservative, but so tired of establishment c**p…
She cant think for herself, and if she does she has to get approval before she can speak out loud.
She is no different than McConnell , Ryan , Boehner . I hope a conservative win the nomination and will strive to send these RINOS packing . I hope Haley has a job lined up . She will never be elected to anything in S.C. I’m not a particular Trump fan , but it is up to the people to decide who represents them , not some republican insider .
