CBS NEWS SPECIAL REPORT

Hi Folks, Dan Rather here. I’m coming out of retirement to report this special CBS News bulletin.

While a single fake but accurate memo from George W. Bush’s Air National Guard unit was enough to prove that he was unfit to be president, the thousands upon thousands of documents that prove Hillary Clinton’s corruption has the value of a dead possum on the side of a rural Texas highway.

In other news, Speaker Ryan has announced that the US will continue to run annual trillion dollar deficits so that Hillary Clinton and her cronies can continue to live the lavish lifestyle to which they have become accustomed if she is elected president.

Meanwhile, an employee at one of Donald Trump’s properties had a car towed out of a no parking zone. Proving once again, that Donald Trump is unfit to be president.

Stay with CBS News or any of our comrades at ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, FOX, AP, NYT, WJS, BBC, Reuters, Gannett, Tribune, Telemundo, Univision, Comcast, Sony, Weinstein Companies, Harpo Productions, Facebook, Yahoo, Google and Al Jazeera for the latest breaking news on the Donald Trump scandal of the day.

Ok gotta admit. When I went to bed last night after I read the pxxxy comment I was darn mad. Today I broke the new to five evangelicals, two men and three women and all five indicated it was no big deal and instead where angry and displeased to hear some Republican leadership like Paula Ryan were reeling from Trump. I feel much better now and my support of Trump is stronger than ever. Onward Freepers! This is not a campaign of words but if ideas.

Republicans confirming that they care as little for the voters as their democrat counterparts. It’s all them and their egos, not why’s good for the county.

I plan on voting for Trump and in a school board race. Otherwise down ticket I won’t vote for any Republican for any office. This stinks of a gope hit job and in reality opens up the hag for her attacks on women. Bill and the hags bimbo problem just got worse.

I doubt the plan ever was to dump Trump. The purpose of articles like this is to wound him severely and take Hilliary’s multitude of scandals off the table. It’s working, too.

It might be different if the GOP had supported Trump from the beginning. If that had been the case, a reluctance at this point would be understandable.

But, they’ve been back-biting, ankle-checking, second guessing him from the start. Their efforts now are just more of the same old-same old...AND I’M SICK & TIRED OF IT.

“They are real Republicans. It’s Trump who isn’t a real Republican. That’s why he had so many Republicans bad-mouthing him even before this story hit the news”

My first reaction to this too is why did Trump run as a Republican? His supporters seem to hate the Republican Party. Surely he should have run as an independent. Unless maybe he really is just a destroyer and his purpose is to destroy the Republican Party?

An Independent would never be elected president.

A Republican can and will.

Trump is more Republican than any of the 16 losers who ran against him in the primary.

Just seems to me Ryan’s got his finger on ‘a’ Presidency, abusing and using this election to balance and position himself to both sides of the aisle......we already know
he has the luxury of waiting years without any danger of risking being cast as too old to run because he’ll still only be in his early 50s.

Remember it was just last March the GOP-E were desperately searching for a way to stop Trump.... Romney, Boehner, McCain and others. Ryan actually sent out a cease-and-desist letter from their attempt at drafting him for a contested convention.

IMO it looks like the establishment ‘saboteurs’ are closing ranks in a last ditch take-down attempt to betray the will of the voters........yet again....

He ran as a Republican because it was the easiest way to get nominated. He never would have gotten anywhere as an independent.

I have no idea what his motivations are, but I've never trusted him because you can never trust a huckster from New York City about anything.

...”The GOPe party destroyed themselves”..

From the looks of it both parties have done so, Bernie supporters aren’t exactly happy campers these days....and rightfully so. They showed up in droves yet still lost....knowing full well, and proven, the DNC was working against the “peoples choice”.......we have the very same thing playing out.

Therefore it really is very clear this election is about the Governing Parties against the people.
