If the party wants to improve minority outreach, why hasn't Reince spoke out against Trump. Is it against election policy?

He's polling at <40% whether they like it or not, he is the GOP brand.

If the GOP tried to pull a DNC by trying to mute a candidate they didn't like, but is Trump and not Bernie it would kill any chance they had at this election and at that corporate dough they love so much.

It's against common sense. You don't alienate voters the party has in favor of voters the party wishes they had. Besides, Trump may be bringing in his own group of minority voters: Cross over blue collar Democrats.

And who would they get? Cruz is possibly even worse than Trump with respect to losing both the White House and the down ticket races. If anything, they need to work at thinning out the competition in the third lane (GOPe) so that one of those candidates can get out his message.

Because the party would sign its own death warrant by (and, note, I'm not a Trump supporter) by openly going against its leading candidate (at least as far as the GOP primary is concerned) doing so. But, should Trump continue to poll so well, expect establishment donors to become more aggressive in targeting him with pacs, etc. As much as Trump chats about being willing to spend "whatever it takes" to win, I don't buy it for one second.

Same reason Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesn't denounce Hillary for her lies and corruption. It's called politics.

After Romney lost, Priebus announced that the RNC was in favor of amnesty for illegals. Doing so, was a botched attempt to supposedly attract the Hispanic vote. If anything, the RNC took some flak from their members. Priebus is nothing but a RINO.

Besides, as for Trump---I'm a woman of Hispanic descent and he has said nothing that I found to be offensive.

You're obviously a very smart woman, who doesn't need the media to make decisions for you.

I suspect Trump will get more of the Hispanic vote than predicted. A Breitbart poll has him doing better with Hispanics than Romney did, and he won 27% of their vote.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D - Tel Aviv) is trying to rig the election for Hillary. Those are the real politics at play.
