CNBC reported 2-3 minutes ago that Gingrich and others plan an intervention meeting this weekend with Trump's kids involved, and others. Trump seems to be ignoring all advice.
Clinton's platform is closer to the Republicans than Trump is. Trump can not win and could bow out to keep from losing the election.

Lol. He'll probably want to use it for a reality show. Hope they bring a shrink. They may need to commit him.

Would-be leader of the free world?? Sure--this will instill a lot of confidence in the electorate.

So is this how they plan to control Trump should he get to the White House? By having "interventions" every week or so with his kids to try to rein him in?

Gingrich is a self-serving jerk, but he understands how the world works and knows what is at stake here. That he isn't leading the charge to remove Trump from the top of his beloved party's ticket is baffling and unconscionable.

Just what America doesn't need...

A Presidential wana-be who has to be given a "Time-Out."

Just the fact that this even needs to be talked about shows how unfit he is.

At this point any Republican not advocating to get him off the ticket, or at least disavowing him entirely, is a spineless coward who doesn't care what happens to the country.

That they couldn't clearly see this months ago is troubling.

That would work IF Trump dropped out before the states opened early and absentee voting. If he were to drop out after Columbus Day, that would cause complete election chaos for the GOP.

"That time has come and gone my friend" - The Day After Tomorrow

The time for an intervention was at the convention. The GOP owns this.

"Dad. You have a problem. We want to ride this gravy train, which gives us plenty of attention for doing nothing but saying things like "Dad's a patriot!", all the way to the White House. So you have to listen to Rudy and Newt and stop saying nasty things about women and mocking the disabled. Ivanka will be in charge of your meds. You'll like Thorazine."

This reminds me of the Seinfeld intervention with the oversensitive bartender and polar bears.

This has to be a joke right? The guy who was run out of congress, then made weak attempts at running for president, and the guy who lives and breathes 9/11 glory because it's all been downhill since then, who also made a weak attempt at running for president, are going to give The Apprentice an intervention on how to act normal so he can be president?

Is this real?

A nutbar who needs an intervention, and/or a minder to keep him under control for 3 months, has no business unconstrained in the White House.
