TRUMP LIKES IDEA OF PARTY UNITY, BUT ON HIS TERMS
AP ^ | 5/8/2016 | Anne Flaherty

(Trump) used the term "lightweight" to describe Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., once in the presidential race, and suggested former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, another former rival, was still licking his wounds from the vicious campaign.

The party's 2012 nominee Mitt Romney, Trump said, "blew the election" that year and never even thanked Trump for his work on Romney's behalf.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 nominee, said it would take a lot for him to ever stand on stage next to Trump, even though McCain has agreed to support the party's nominee.

I love it. Complete and utter disrespect for the loser RINOs. I've been waiting for this for years.

As Trump would say: “If it isn’t in the best interest of America or the people, it doesn’t happen!”....

It just keeps getting better. He really isn’t playing by the normal rules and it is confounding both the left and the right sides of the aisle.

I’ve been saying, the best reason to vote for Trump is looking at the agita, stomach turning angst that people like John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Rosie ODonnell, John Boehner etc...will have.

Don’t you WANT those people to have sleepless nights? Ulcers? I know I do. They’ve richly earned it.

From the same article:

Sen. Jeff Flake, a Trump critic, said Republicans must figure out something fast because Trump's ability to win primary contests by relying on hard-line policies such as banning Muslims from entering the United States might not translate into general election success against the Democrats.

"If Republicans want to win, and we do, then we've got to change the approach because we're not going to win taking these positions," said Flake, R-Ariz.

So when is this loser Flake up for re-election? What a clueless jerk he is. But first, McCain's scalp is needed.

Loser racks, winner breaks. The Party needs to unify around The winner.

“Forget the laws on human rights,” Mr. Duterte said, vowing to “butcher” criminal and drug dealers.

Makes Trump seem timid.

Trump should have also referred to Linda as "light in the loafers".

“TRUMP LIKES IDEA OF PARTY UNITY, BUT ON HIS TERMS”

Well naturally, after all, the President/Presidential nominee is essentially the party’s leader. You don’t think the Democrats do a damn thing that Obama doen’t approve do you?

Indeed so... not even Trump has gone that far. (I don’t even know if Duterte went that far, or if this was only rhetoric.)

They deserve zero respect especially the punks like Ryan, Linda Graham, Ben Sasse, plus others. I have told everyone of the Republicans in my state they will get no vote from my wife or I if they do not support Trump. This BS that Trump needs to please Ryan is crap. Ryan can expect to lose.
