Donald Trump Fires Back at Republican Critics
Time Magazine ^ | October 9, 2016 | Zeke J. Miller

In the most beleaguered moment of his campaign, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is done trying to make friends in his own party.

With his past comments about sexually assaulting women drawing widespread condemnation from Republicans, and a multitude of defections, Trump is rejecting pleas from Republican leaders to demonstrate contrition, as he turns his fire on those who are no longer comfortable being associated with him.

In a series of tweets Sunday before he boarded a flight with RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and other advisors to the second presidential debate in St. Louis, Trump took aim at the growing list of GOP leaders who have unendorsed his candidacy....

****************************************

This indicates the rumors of Priebus’ defection are not true.

The Bush/Romney Cheap Labor Express Republicans must be purged completely from the party once Trump wins.

This isn’t about what Trump said more than a decade ago when he was a Democrat.

It is about who is orchestrating this.

They represent the forces of the status quo. They do not want to change anything, they want CLINTON-BUSH, BUSH-CLINTON for another 20 years. Because your disenfranchisement is their riches and power.

He has.

Why don’t Republicans talk about Clinton’s DEEDS rather that Trump’s locker room TALK.

TIME sank below the “bad toilet paper” standard long ago.

Trump took aim at the growing list of GOP "leaders" who have unendorsed his candidacy. These GOPe members are NOT leaders by virtue of their cowardly behavior.

Do these GOPe members realize that this is nothing more than the first salvo of a planned attack and distraction by the Hillary campaign?

The GOPe are showing their inability to discern. And they are showing their shallow character by so quickly jumping on an empty bandwagon.

The Satanic Democrats have NOTHING to offer but more of the same failed policies of corruption, persecution of Republicans by the IRS and EPA, more illegal immigration, more terrorism, gun control, abridgment of free speech, higher taxes, abortion, same sex marriage, and on and on...

That is what I was thinking. Good for Reince.

We all need to seriously pray for Trump tonight. Satan is alive and well - dancing and smiling and thinking he’s won.

I pray he will find the words he needs to convey in an humble apology and truly let the voters know that he loves this country more than anything and will work like he’s never worked before to bring jobs back and secure our borders - two areas that are opposite of what Hillary intends to do.

Kennedy tried to change the status quo 55 years ago; look how he ended up.

I would be surprised if Priebus did defect. Pre-convention and during the convention, he bucked the elites several times to keep them from breaking the convention.

And Hillary must be sh***ing bricks worrying about that! Hope to see her totally flummoxed and twitching.
