The paranoid party is turning on Donald Trump. Republican Congressman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) is claiming that Donald Trump is a Democratic plant that was sent to hurt the Republican Party.
The Miami Herald reported:
In another interview with Colombias W Radio, Curbelo, who supports Jeb Bush for president, piled on.
There are too many important national, local international topics to waste time talking about a person who, I repeat, in my judgment is irrelevant and who quite possibly is a phantom candidate recruited by the left to create this entire political circus, he said.
And he further explained to Miami radio host Roberto Rodríguez Tejera.
I think theres a small possibility that this gentleman is a phantom candidate, Curbelo said. Mr. Trump has a close friendship with Bill and Hillary Clinton. They were at his last wedding. He has contributed to the Clintons foundation. He has contributed to Mrs. Clintons Senate campaigns. All of this is very suspicious.
If every Republican who socially associated with the Clintons is a Democratic plant, the Republican Party is in huge trouble. In theory, this would mean that Jeb Bush is a Democratic plant because his father and brother are friends will Bill Clinton. Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch is also a Democratic plant because he held a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. The Republicans who were in the Senate with her, remember Hillary Clinton fondly. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) considers her a friend.

(80,708 posts)Haven't you noticed HOW MANY imbecilic mouth-breathers are posing as "Republicans"? Rick Perry? Herman Cain? Good Christ, how about the Holy Trinity of batshit dumbassery- Palin, Santorum and Bachmann?
That level of foot-in-mouth idiocy doesn't happen in a group of humans, organically. No, sir. It is clearly all part of a devious scheme to make rational republicans look like blibbering jesus-drunk creationists and hateful xenophobic bigots.
Why just look- you can't hardly find ANY sane-sounding Republicans, can you... not ANYWHERE!
Makes you think, don't it.
