The head of the Republican National Committee, responding to demands from increasingly worried party leaders, spent nearly an hour Wednesday on the phone with Donald Trump, urging the presidential candidate to tone down his inflammatory comments about immigration that have infuriated a key election constituency.

The call from Chairman Reince Priebus, described by donors and consultants briefed on the conversation and confirmed by the RNC, underscores the extent to which Trump has gone from an embarrassment to a cause for serious alarm among top Republicans in Washington and nationwide.

The party's image SUX! They're in lockstep with Obama and Hillary.

Anything resembling a McCain, Romney, Bush, Boehner, McConnell, etc, will LOSE! The only hope of victory is to run a phony republican, aka a RINO. The Real Republicans SUCK!

It's not their IMAGE that sucks - it's THEM. They suck. The Republican Party sucks.

Trump's ok. I can vote for Trump.

TC is going to cry. He doesn't get it.

Americans like populists: Washington (who was popular because he was the only truly NATIONAL figure), Jackson, Eisenhower, JFK, Reagan.

In recent years, Perot.

Establishment people feel threatened by populists - hence the irrational hatred of Sarah Palin; it was precisely BECAUSE of her sudden popularity, which was because of who and what she was, not policy.

Trump is a populist. He's popular, and some of the things he says, he says because he's super-rich and therefore CAN say these things that most people feel.

That's why I like him: he says things, the professional political and media class go berserk and ridicule him (as they did Perot), but huge numbers of people (like me) fold our arms and smile and say we agree with Trump. Part of it is vicarious joy at seeing somebody rich and powerful take politically incorrect positions, and have the wealth to be able to give the finger to the apparatus that would take down you or me if we did it.

Because Trump's entertainment business is profitable, when companies cut off relations with him over politics, they do themselves damage, and then he comes right after them, and will exact revenge, and that does MORE damage.

It's FUN.

Don't forget the emperor . He filled stadiums in 2008 .

Americans have also rejected their share of populists too. William Jennings Bryant comes immediately to mind. Huey Long was rejected (mostly because FDR stole a lot of his ideas ) . James B Weaver in 1892 went no where . George McGovern got trounced running a populist campaign . Bernie Sanders is not going to last .

Obams is pretty popular. Clinton too. Effective American Presidents have charisma, and the people like them and are willing to follow them.

FDR, JFK, Reagan, Clinton, Obama - they fit this mold - along with Teddy, Jackson. Eisenhower, Grant and Washington were full-blown war heroes. So was Jackson, but, like with JFK, his military heroism merely enhanced his appeal.

It's easy to follow a leader you like. You're willing to make some sacrifices in order to advance his cause, which you identify partially with your own, but also because you like him.

Popular leaders are charismatic.
