Donald Trump unleashed the fury of his Twitter account on his GOP critics Tuesday, accusing them of being fair-weather backers and insisting that he's better off without their "shackles," and he can now run the kind of campaign he wants.
At first glance, though, the new Mr. Trump looked a lot like the old Mr. Trump -- with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Sen. John McCain targeted...
"Disloyal R's are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary," he said in another tweet. "They come at you from all sides. They don't know how to win -- I will teach them!"

Even as Mr. Trump was blasting fellow Republicans, his campaign was trying to shift the focus to Mrs. Clinton. It seized on revelations in emails from Hillary Clinton's time at the State Department that appear to show her aides giving Clinton Foundation friends special access, particularly during clean-up efforts in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
Mr. Trump did tweet about that, but saved most of his attention for his party's elected leaders.
Before the sun rose Tuesday, Mr. Trump went on the attack against Mr. Ryan. He went on to describe Mr. John McCain as a "very foul mouthed" turncoat and capped the day blasting the entire lot of Republicans that have deserted him less than 30 days out from the election.
On Twitter and then during an appearance on "The O'Reily Factor," he ripped Mr. Ryan, calling the Wisconsin Republican a "very weak and ineffective leader" and accusing him of supporting "amnesty" for illegal immigrants and "bad budgets."
Mr. Trump said he no longer wanted Mr. Ryan's support and suggested Mr. Ryan might not be speaker of the House if he wins The White House.

Trump should not follow the RINOs. They are just democRAT gays in suits living at the restroom urinals.

A freshman Democrat in a D jersey would be better than a turncoat Speaker Democrat in an R jersey.
This is the first truthful election in 3 decades. No more masks.
Does anyone still believe the republican party represents us or is listening to us?
When only 7% of Americans trust Congress it’s kinda hard to go wrong by opposing them.
At this point I despise many in the Republican Party as much as I despise Democrats. What a sham these mealy politicians are. Thank you Donald John Trump for exposing the Uniparty Republican membership.
The poor bastards have Trump surrounded!
Shillary has to be defeated first.
Then rinos can be dealt with.

I sure don’t! I don’t think I’ve ever voted a strait republican ticket, but now things will be scrutinized even more.
What I find interesting and encouraging is some of his latest quotes echo things FReepers have said here! He clearly has some lurkers on Free Republic!
+1,000,000,000
This is the last time I will be voting republican party unless Trump gets in and he cleans house. From now on, I will only vote for a true patriot. My eyes have been opened.
LOVE IT! Intra-Republic Crusades.
What the F is this guy doing?
2X!
I didn’t take the shackles comment as a declaration of war on the GOP. Just that the GOPe would no longer influence him or hold him back from being the fighter he needs to be.
My guess is they told him to not take the fight to Hillary on morals. He did and to good effect. But there were sources saying that Ryan was going to abandon Trump before the debate.
As soon as the election is over, we need to remove Ryan from the Speaker position. It was a mistake to put him in that position in the first place.
