If Trump goes down this path, will Pence hang around? If Pence has any guts at all, and honor, he should tell Trump that if he goes there, he will quit the ticket.

If Pence had any honor then he wouldn't had accepted to become second fiddle to a sexist, racist and comically unqualified blowhard.

Hypothetical question: If Mr. Drumpf somehow manages to win the election, how does he want to get anything done? I guess he doesn't know that he needs these GOP members of congress to pass anything, right?

He probably figures that if he wins, they'd fall in line.  And this is probably true.

This is getting interesting.

I am hoping that Trump will leave the ticket and Pence will be the nominee, however that plays out.

Mike Pence, to me, is the most noble individual of the six (6) people on the tickets with any chance of winning an electoral vote.  I note Trump's contempt for most politicians, but he has a respect for Mike Pence that he has for few people; he's the guy who Trump allows to tell him he's full of crap, and everyone needs someone like that. 

Pence is a Movement Conservative, so I'm not down with his issue positions, as I am with Trump's.  But he's got genuine humility, a characteristic that I expect see in a committed Christian (but one I don't see in Ted Cruz).  I believe that he has the persona to bring greater unity to this Nation in ways that none of the others can.  I suppose the chances of this are limited, but I'm praying.

Great he's gonna be fighting a war on 2 fronts.

It seems like Trump knows he's been exposed, and in response, he's showing his true colors.



If there's a any reason to believe he will continue to slide in the polls, it's this strategy, which may shrink his numbers down to the Republican base, and not much more. 

[Doimper]

I can't even begin to imagine how vindicated Kasich, Romney, and co. are feeling right now.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Here comes Vince Foster. Sigh.

Despicable man, but I would like to see Hillary with a Democratic Congress, so I won't complain. How nice it would be to see her achieve more success than Obama. The "I told you so" has been eight years in the making and would be very, very sweet.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Are we sure he isn't a Democratic plant? I mean, it's almost as if he knows he is going to lose and doesn't care, and him threatening to take the party down with him will only help Democrats. That coupled with the fact that every time he brings up Bill's sexcapades, it does nothing but help Hillary increase her lead with female voters, which just goes to show that he doesn't understand (or care about) women.

Something tells me that he hasn't hit rock bottom, though. Republicans abandoning him now are smart to do so, but they're also cowards, IMO, as they never should have endorsed him in the first place.

[Iosif]

When do you think Trump will start telling his supporters not to vote down-ballot unless the down-ballot Republican is explicitly pro-Trump?

He kinda did that already with his Paul Ryan tweet. I'm sure most of the deplorables weren't going to vote for any #NeverTrump Republican in the first place. Their loyalty is to him, not to the party.

That was an interesting article. Here's a telling clip from it:

Trump tweets Democrats are more loyal than Republicans as he tries desperately to drive a wedge between Hillary and Bernie voters. I guess he didn't get the memo.

[ApatheticAustrian]

now trashing johnnie mccain...it goes on and on...


The very foul mouthed Sen. John McCain begged for my support during his primary (I gave, he won), then dropped me over locker room remarks!

Holy sh**t. He's literally going to destroy the Republican party out of spite. This is incredible.

[ApatheticAustrian]

now i understand why priebus and ryan have tried to hold him inside the tent and mcconnell plays radio silent....they knew he would go ballistic.

[Dr. Arch]

Per HuffPo so far. Trump, on Twitter of course, has begun attacking all GOP members who refused to endorse or who disavowed his candidacy. How long until they cut his funding and leave him for dead?

"Trump tried to spin the lack of support from his own party as a good thing on Tuesday, saying it would allow him to campaign the way he wanted to."

It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.

"And then he threw some shade at the GOP, and continued rolling out tweets through the afternoon."

I'm part entertained, part depressed because of this.
