Does this deserve it’s own thread? I mean, it seems important:
Trump on Twitter in the past 24hrs…
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump
Uh… does this hurt his chances in the election? Has the election now turned into a GOP referendum on Trumpism, given that Hillary is all but given to win?
Thoughts?
Robert Costa has some good reporting on this, including sources currently inside Trump Tower.
This WaPo article was published before this morning’s events:
I know people argue that the GOP isn’t just going to collapse… but what the hell is happening if it is not a collapse?
Politics aside, this man is bull-goose loony.
My prediction. Trump will end up being the best thing to ever happen to the Democratic party. He has divided the Republican party. He is jeopardizing Republican control of the HR. He has helped elect one of the most unpopular Democrats ever. Trump was a disaster to the Republican party. Those poor souls, scrambling to decide how far to distance themselves from Trump. Shall I walk away or run? That’s what’s on every one of their minds.
This needs to be a movie. A 2 hour movie.
(SNL will be totally awesome this Saturday)
This is just one more example of:
Trump cannot leave any slight unchallenged. He MUST get in the last word, and he MUST win. He’s the best at everything and anyone who doubts him is WRONG!!! WRONG!!! WRONG!!! LOSER!!!
Trump does not now, nor has he ever, given a rat’s ass about the Republican Party. Trump cares about one thing and one thing only: Trump.
It boggles my mind that some Republicans might be just now discovering this. It’s like the “locker room talk” tape. Were people really surprised? This guy is a womanizing, egomaniac, entitled, old, rich white guy. This is who you guys selected. He’s always been this way!!! If you didn’t know this by now, you’re an absolute idiot…
Trump’s war is going well.
Looking at 538, Trump has turned from Bright red to Orange/Red (no pun intended) MT, SD, KS, MO, IN, TX, GA. You know your war is going well when you’re losing voters in solid Red states. 
Preach it, John.
This is good news for the GOP. Disassociating themselves from this disaster comes too late, but at least now rational Republicans can vote for candidates that are not popular amid the batshit brigade.
I have always liked Paul Ryan, ever since he was Romney’s running mate. Although it is not hard to appear a serious candidate compared to the Donald.

Trump campaign fires Virginia chairman after RNC protest
It’s important because as I’ve said elsewhere - Donald isn’t going away on November 9th. He’ll still be giving rallies because he enjoys it. He’ll still be a problem for mid-term elections. He’ll still be raking in the dough from renting his properties to his campaign org. He’ll still be tweeting furiously at the disloyal Republicans. And Republicans will still be facing the anger from Trump’s fans if they try to distance themselves.
I’m convinced that Donald is the albatross around the neck of the Republican party.
He might end up being the best thing that happens to the Republican party also. The party was broken before he ever showed up, they were headed for decades of having no shot at the presidency until their base died off. This debacle might actually speed the process of the GOP ditching their toxic base.
Perhaps in the long run this is best for the GOP. For years they have been addicted to the low-educated, non-Christian-hating, government-hating, homophobic, science-rejecting, gun-loving, xenophobic, racist segment of their base and have been forced to adopt absurd policies in order to appease them. In return, this base has slavishly voted for every tax-cutting Social Security-hating warmongering politician who puts an R after his name. This demonic bargain may be over as the inmates have taken over the asylum. Whether the corporate shills can exist without the lunatics remains to be seen, but hopefully sane Republicans in the mold of Ford and Dole can throw the crazies out.
Trump is the albatross around the neck of the Republican albatross.
One can hope, but I seriously doubt it. You’re talking about 35% of the electorate; they’ll put some lipstick on the racist pigs and trot them out for the 2018 midterms, which will be a historic bloodbath for Dems (they’ll be defending 25 senate seats).
Does Trump know that these polls are completely bogus? Is he actually that stupid and self deluded, or is this just bluster for his base? How stupid is he really?
And there are still 40 million sorry sacks of suds who are going to vote for that rodeo clown. Can’t wait for election day. “Schadenfreude” anyone? BWA-Ha-Ha-ha-ha…
Does he come with chips?
Wouldn’t they just lose their base to the Libertarian Party? And who will be their new base? I think the Democratic Party has come so far to the middle that there isn’t much left between the Democratic Party base and the Republicans’ current “toxic base”.
Politics. Politicians, as always, looking out for themselves and their own political power and saying what they think they need to say that will get them reelected. I.E. Exactly what Hillary and Trump are doing.
