Democracy can be ugly. And what Republicans like McCain and Ryan have had so much trouble accepting is that the voters in the primaries flocked to Trump. . It doesn't matter who had the best chances to win the general election.
Even if Trump is a long shot to win the election, (and he probably won't be for long; look for the polls to steady themselves in another week or so), he can now present himself as the true man of the people no Republican presidential candidate has been able to be or even look like since Ronald Reagan.
The Paul Ryans and John McCains of this world don't get it. When it comes to winning an election, the only person who needs to look self-assured and like a winner is the candidate. Trump still looks like he wants to fight and fight hard. The Republicans in Congress look like they want to run and hide. Because that's what losers do.

Typical LSM projection.
ILLary is down by a stupid amount in the real polls the parties pay for internal use. And the Dems and GOPe are panicking and going bonkers.
A traitor is worse than an enemy...
“”A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
We all know that to be all to true. If a video like this came out about Yeb they would be behind him 100%, and they still would be losers, right along with Yeb. He inspires people as much as a rock does. Actually I am being disrespectful to rocks. Sorry about that.
THAT is the question!
It’s an awkward analogy, but I like it:
“You can’t just kick over some of the money-lenders’ tables in the temple.”
An anti-establishment candidate has to be anti ALL of the establishment.
Flamed? Flamed?
Oh, hell no! That one needs an award! Priceless!
And, pithy...
Sure, in their minds, 40% of the primary vote from one party isn't enough to win a general election.
On the other hand, 40% of the primary vote from one party is enough to cause a lot of damage within the party if you try to cross the mood of the public!!
Oh, I forgot to add that the split in the Dem/GOPe uniparty is far worse than the non-existent split among true conservatives and Constitutionalists (redundant).
I think you misspelled 'Donner" class.
I am a woman too, and it’s a joke that these so-called men are just shocked at such language. Hypocrites, all of them.
Yup, I can’t disagree with that. Was he the dude who kept saying, Carthage must be destroyed?
Awesome is that Trump knows.
He has always known.
The mic-er sounds like a Clymer, Big Time.
In the meanwhile the DNC is still SPLIT since Hillary stole the nomination from Sanders even though he won.
Mainstream media loves to ignore the DNC and attack Trump and the RNC.
I worked with women for 20 years in the USAF, and 25 years in prison. I am not shocked by their language. 😀😆😄😃
Trump inspires me like the Rock of Gibraltar. At present, he is only bested by the Rock of Ages.
That’s why I am disgusted with the republican establishment and not something Trump said 10 years ago. The real world doesn’t operate the way the phony one republicans want you to believe they live in.
In 2020 if Hillary is running for re-election I won’t care who the Republicans nominate, I’m done after this election.
This is a game to get Trump to attack the GOP and the GOP to attack Trump
If you fall for the bait, die quietly, just be quiet and die in the corner
