Trump Would Fund Super-PACs Aimed at Taking Down Cruz, Kasich

Donald Trump plans to create and fund super-PACs specifically aimed at ending the political careers of Ted Cruz and John Kasich should either run for office again, after both snubbed the Republican nominee during his party's convention this week, a source familiar with Trump’s thinking told Bloomberg Politics on Friday.

The plan would involve Trump investing millions of his own money --perhaps $20 million or more -- in one or two outside groups about six months before their respective election days if Texas Senator Cruz or Ohio Governor Kasich stand for office again. The source said Trump is willing to set up two separate super-PACs – one for Cruz and one for Kasich – and put millions into each.

The source said that Trump would be willing to invest tens of millions more if necessary to ensure his former competitors didn't win another race. Of course, the ire that Trump has exhibited in the aftermath of the bitter nomination contest could fade over time, leading the sometimes mercurial billionaire to drop the plans.

The source said that despite another former nomination rival Jeb Bush skipping the national convention and refusing to back the Republican nominee, Trump “does not care” about doing the same against Bush because the former Florida governor is already “destroyed.”

I'm just speechless. Vindictiveness of a bruised and fragile ego. Hopefully
he'll spend the next couple of months fighting his old rivals. They say you
have everything in a campaign - except time.

[Renew Deal]

1. He's crazy

[bucolic_frolic]

6. He's some representative of the Republican Party

now working to unseat incumbent Republicans

He could be in the looney bin by October. Seriously. The rants and
ego bluster have only increased as the months roll by.

Scalia kicked it up a couple notches in his waning years. It's only
partly ideology, it's really about personality.

[beachbumbob]

2. Trump is too cheap to do it...

[moonscape]

17. Exactly what I thought when I saw the headline. By then,

he'll have calmed down and be even less willing to open his wallet - or care.

This guy's impulse control is zero. He's a 2 year old.

Remarkable.

[REALforever]

3. Hate when "sources" are the ONLY source on something so Important

I don't doubt this.. But I gotta see it on paper(ink dried) to actually entertain such a dastardly endeavor even by the Carnival Barker/Used-Car Salesman..

[Stonepounder]

4. He's crazy and dangerous!

A politician doesn't fall fawning at his feet, he says he will set up a super-PAC to 'end their political careers'. Imagine what he will do as President the first time Putin tells him he an idiot!

[Dustlawyer]

35. Putin plays Chess and he would know to play to Trumps ego.

Trump is probably envious of Putin's power and control over his country.

[GulfCoast66]

46. Trump

Would screw up a game of checkers.

[oswaldactedalone]

5. How stupid do you have to be to

support this megalomaniac. A sick, demented, and disgusting piece of human excrement.

[mopinko]

7. sure sure donald. just like

how you raised all that money for veterans.

[4lbs]

8. I would remind him that he has a campaign himself to run, but....

yeah, go ahead and focus on attacking members of your own party.

I'll grab some popcorn and watch.

[liberalmuse]

9. What a vindictive little man.

I hope he goes broke trying, though.

[chillfactor]

10. oh good god....

what an insane, vindictive piece of human excrement trump is.

[SCVDem]

11. What a petty POS

Just perfect for petty POS republicans!

Clinton/Kaine

Muy bueno!

[Maeve]

12. Please proceed..asshole

Help us get Democrats elected while you attack the Repubs. Make our day

[riversedge]

13. spoiled little bully is what trump is.

[geek tragedy]

14. You own this shit-covered monkey, Republicans. nt

[Xipe Totec]

15. It's not vindictiveness; it's house cleaning.

Á la Stalin.

[BlueStater]

16. Just a 70 year old baby.

[doc03]

18. Great I will look forward to getting rid of Trump, Kasich and Cruz. nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

19. Good

We can also point out that a weasel like Ryan was too afraid to bash The Don for fear this would happen to him.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. Perhaps the threat was explicit

Deal?

[runaway hero]

21. Good.

People like Cruz have no place in public service.

[PSPS]

22. Who's he kidding? He doesn't have the money.

[Iliyah]

23. Are you effin kidding me?

Sociopath

[byronius]

24. The definition of classic narcissism includes permanent grudges for all slights.

[bucolic_frolic]

25. Yes

I've read that, and I have known two full-blown narcissists in my life,
both of whom embodied this aspect. Knowing someone's personality,
it's entirely expected.

[liberal N proud]

26. His vindictive nature could be his ruin

[gwheezie]

27. I think it's great, the greatest

I fully support trump dismantling the gop while Hillary campaigns for the white house.

[Kathy M]

28. Vindicttive or money

making scheme or both through super pac ?.... Wow what a narcissist !!

[tavernier]

29. Oh no you're not,

because Spanky and Alfalfa are going to tie your shoelaces together and kick you in the rump when you fall down. Besides, Darla is going to win anyway, you big fat ugly bully.

[Photographer]

30. How do I say it... Trump is motherfucking batshit cray-cray!

Still having trouble admitting there are so many stupid people in America today that placed him as the republcan nominee.

[Akoto]

31. So on top of being a narcissitic egomaniac, he has a revenge complex.

Yeah, sounds like a real safe guy to have carrying around the big red button.

[phleshdef]

32. I'm pretty sure Kasich is just gonna retire for at least 4 years

[vinny9698]

33. Another Con. Trump will just pocket the money

He will run it and charge his fee. 99%.
Rick Perry's campaign manager walked off with 50% of all money collected from his fundraising.

[Craig234]

34. Three words: Nixon enemies list n/t

[olddad56]

36. maybe he will want to burn them up in an oven.

in honor of his idol.

[bucolic_frolic]

38. Put Cruz in the oven?

lol, very inventive

[Solly Mack]

37. What a sad little man.

[OnDoutside]

39. "Trump investing millions of his own money" - yeah right

[OldHippieChick]

40. As they say

"All hat and no cattle"

[Sunlei]

41. once you get on the bad side of these men, they'll destroy you.

[Botany]

42. kasich?

kasich is in his 2nd term as governor .... the term is up 2018 and he is term limited so he
can not run again.

[Maeve]

44. At least not until he takes a break...maybe run for the Senate

We have a lot of that here...

[Botany]

45. In 2018 he would be running against Sen. Brown and that would be a tough nut to crack

and the next opening wouldn't be to 2022. John has run a scam in this state that has made $$$$$
of money for he and his banker/wall street friends so he is set for life. Although John does think that
Jesus walked on earth so he can be POTUS and I do see him trying again in 2020 against HRC.

[NurseJackie]

43. That money would help a lot of people in need.

[GulfCoast66]

47. Can our religious members here

Pray that Cruz makes a strong, insulting comeback.

It would be a gift from heaven if he spent the first week after his nomination in a shitting contest with his own party member.

[Firestorm49]

48. Heil Donald. !!!

Put a croppy little moustache on this idiot, grab your brown shirt, raise up your arm, and follow him to dictatorship.
