The Republican Party seems to be turning its back on Trump Empty The Republican Party seems to be turning its back on Trump

ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) — The Republican Party could be nearing a breaking point with Donald Trump.

As he skips from one gaffe to the next, GOP leaders in Washington and in the most competitive states have begun openly contemplating turning their backs on their party's presidential nominee to prevent what they fear will be wide-scale Republican losses on Election Day.

Back in 1996, the party also largely gave up on nominee Bob Dole once it became clear he had little chance of winning, so it's not without precedent. Nevertheless, it's a jolting prospect now, with roughly three months still left before the Nov. 8 vote and weeks before the three presidential debates.

Republicans who have devoted their professional lives to electing GOP candidates say they believe the White House already may be lost. They're exasperated by Trump's divisive politics and his insistence on running a general election campaign that mirrors his approach to the primaries.

"Based on his campaign record, there's no chance he's going to win," said Sara Fagen, the political director for former President George W. Bush. "He's losing groups of people he can't get back."

Trump's campaign says things are moving in the right direction, a position that itself feeds the discontent among his GOP detractors. The billionaire businessman's loyalists say enough time remains to change the dynamic against Democrat Hillary Clinton who, like Trump, is deeply unpopular with voters.

And his backers are blaming the media for the perception that all is not well.

Of course they blame the media, with all that diabolical twisting of his words by quoting him verbatim ...

He tore the lid off of what many average Republican supporters are really like. For years, the Republican establishment didn't want to accept criticism that their ranks were filled with bigots and crazy people, but they can't deny it anymore.

He is a Hateful,warmongering lying bastard,  God knows why anyone will vote for him.
Imagine him with his finger on the nuke button.
Perhaps he wants war. Emerge from his bunker after 6 months and he is the self ordinated world leader.

The Republican Party seems to be turning its back on Trump Empty Be Afraid - Be Very Afraid; When Rudy Giuliani has become the Sara Palin of the GOP

Post by Guest Tue Aug 16, 2016 5:58 pm

Rudy Giuliani, of all people, has a 9/11 problem
08/15/16 03:58 PM

By Steve Benen
In early January 2010, Rudy Giuliani, known for his obsessive focus on the 9/11 attacks, made a bizarre comment on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” The former mayor argued, “What [President Obama] should be doing is following the right things that [George W. Bush] did – one of the right things he did was treat this as a war on terror.”
 
Giuliani added, “We had no domestic attacks under Bush. We’ve had one under Obama.”
 
Of course, we had a very memorable domestic attack under Bush. The “one” under Obama, in this case, apparently referred to “Underwear Bomber” Umar Abdulmutallab, who attempted to detonate a concealed explosive on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, but who failed. This “attack,” fortunately, led to zero casualties.

Not enough alcohol - for this Independent voter to swallow what Rudy's selling! 
Evil or Very Mad   The Insanity seems to be falling into a vacuum, because I'm not hearing the gasps and audibles for 'hey, Rudy - you've F'd that up too!'

And after all those utterly - really gob-smacked mental dribbles from Sarah Palin head ...this is what the Republican party agenda is allowing to be spewed from their talking heads this election season? 

SERIOUSLY ...there have got to be old Rino - HARD CORE - HARD WIRED REPUBLICANS boiling in their very graves about this turn of events!  I know I didn't but rarely ever agree with my dear pops about anything political and that usually led to some lively/loud table banging dinner discussions with mother begging us to 'just save it for after the meal, PLEASE!'   Razz  

But there are many a rational thinking - solid American citizen that can't just stand silently by and allow this travesty of our election process to continue!
