Donald Trump declared war on the Republican establishment Tuesday, lashing out at House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.), Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and other GOP elected officials as his supporters geared up to join the fight amid extraordinary turmoil within the party just four weeks before Election Day.
One day after Ryan announced he would no longer campaign on Trump’s behalf, the GOP nominee said as part of a barrage of tweets that the top-ranking Republican is “weak and ineffective” and is providing “zero support” for his candidacy. Trump also declared that “the shackles have been taken off” him, liberating him to “fight for America the way I want to.”
Trump called McCain “foul-mouthed” and accused him with no evidence of once begging for his support. The 2008 nominee pulled his endorsement following a Friday Washington Post report about a 2005 video in which Trump is heard making vulgar comments about forcing himself on women sexually.
“I wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with a lot of these people, that I can tell you. ... especially Ryan,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel. He said if he is elected president, Ryan might be “in a different position.”
In perhaps the most piercing insult, Trump said his party is harder to deal with than even Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, whom conservatives loathe. Yet he also released a new TV ad featuring footage of Clinton coughing and stumbling during a recent bout with pneumonia — signaling that few issues are out of bounds for his scorched-earth campaign.

“Yet he also released a new TV ad featuring footage of Clinton coughing and stumbling during a recent bout with pneumonia — signaling that few issues are out of bounds for his scorched-earth campaign.”
Releasing tapes on Trump, on the other hand, is not considered scorched-earth.
If we were actually in a true civil war, then yes, you would want me on your side.
No, I wouldn’t. You’d surrender before the fight even started and bad-mouth your side. You have already proven that.

LEAD US TO VICTORY, SIR..!!
Sounds like you’re posting drunk again. Funny stuff.
Let me try. Debbie Downer perhaps? We don't need defeatist folks on this site. Time to buckle up for the ride.
Nope. But thanks for trying to get me off the ledge.

McPain vs. Trump? - Gotta go with Trump.

Ryan as a bank robber!

Your third sentence looks like something a chimp typed. Were you trying to express a thought?

Again, or still?

When Reid made comments about Romney not paying taxes, he was just making it up and also had no ‘proof’. Didn't matter. The media gave Reid a platform and didn't ask for proof.
“You sound like a bed-wetter. Are you a bed-wetter?”
Yes. This one is one of the more annoying ones.
Whut?
The veracular “pissed them off”. Who cares if habitual liars and water-carriers for Clinton are angry?
And the metaphor “coming home to roost”.
What is coming home to roost?
It’s just a mess.
You need to move.
DONALD J. TRUMP won this nomination FAIR AND SQUARE!
These GOPelites have opened their BIG GOBS when they didn’t
have to. (Cruz even acted like a sore loser at the
Republican Convention and doubled down the next day.) I’ve
a bad taste in my mouth from his behavior. IF he withdraws
his most recent “endorsement” of the winner (TRUMP); he is
DONE. TN Governor Haslam recently ran his BIG GOB when he
could have just shut up. Fang and I are NOT wasting another
vote on Has-been Haslam IF he ever does run for anything
else.
We are, actually, in a true civil war.
“The MSM will get Hillary elected whether we like it or not.”
Just because you are a “CatOwner”, doesn’t mean you have to be a scaredy-cat.
Seriously, this is one of the dirtiest, trickiest elections probably the country has ever had. The left’s goal is to make you scared, or to think it’s all over in a Hillary landslide, or even to think voter fraud will do it for her.
And it will get worse. Do not be surprised of the election going full banana republic with an attempt on Trump’s life.
And if Trump wins legitimately, or if Hitlery wins with known fraud, expect civil unrest, with nasty violence.
Just sit back, and vote for Trump with a positive attitude.
If we can't fight our way through this, we don't deserve to win.
