Whatever caused Tuesday evening’s DACA tweet — perhaps a loss of nerve in a Bannon-less West Wing — it was an error from which Trump must extricate himself, and soon.

The Republican Party’s wealthy donor class is working behind the scenes as the nomination race rages in the foreground to ensure the Party’s platform adopts language that accommodates same-sex marriage.

Kenneth P. Vogel writes in Politico that members of the GOP’s donor class are “tightening their purse strings out of frustration with their inability to boost their favored candidates, or to slow Donald Trump.”

Saturday night’s ABC Presidential debate marked the 8th consecutive Republican debate in which donor-class favorite Marco Rubio was not directly asked about his support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement.

Wednesday’s cover of La Opinión, the nation’s largest daily Spanish-language newspaper, prominently portrays donor-class favorite Sen. Marco Rubio with the infamous “hope and change” imagery that defined Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign spokesman slammed donor-class favorite Marco Rubio for his refusal to tell voters whether he will support President Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership, which Rubio had previously endorsed.

In the final days ahead of the Iowa Caucus, donor-class favorite Marco Rubio has noticeably changed his tone on the campaign trail, according to a recent report.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Virginia morning talk radio host John Fredericks slammed his talk radio colleagues who are “too afraid” to endorse Donald Trump for fear of repercussions from the Republican Party’s donor class.

Jonathan Martin writes in the New York Times that although the majority of Republican elites are opposed to Sen. Ted Cruz’s candidacy, Cruz “has quietly begun wooing some of the party’s most entrenched donors and officials” who are beginning to see the anti-establishment candidate as the party’s possible “standard-bearer.”

GOP presidential candidate former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum says the next president must have a plan to shake up Washington, D.C.

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is calling on fellow presidential candidates to return “dark money” sent to Super PACs. According to a Trump campaign press release, the billionaire sent notices earlier this week “disavowing nine unauthorized Super PAC’s claiming to support him in his bid for the Republican nomination for President of the United States and subsequently demanding the return of all funds raised.”
