Wall Street Journal ^ | October 8, 2016 | Janet Hook, Beth Reinhard and Reid J. Epstein

A divided Republican Party descended into turmoil, as a startling chorus of GOP candidates and officials repudiated their own presidential candidate and scrambled to find personal paths to political survival just a month before Election Day. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Saturday told party officials to redirect funds away from nominee Donald Trump to down-ballot candidates, according to an official informed of the decision.

Rats jumping off the ship. You know why the GOP are losers. The Democrats stay 100% behind their major players despite overwhelming evidence of rape, and corruption but the GOP goes spineless at the first instant.

Startling chorus? All I see is the same lame batch of pantywaist establishment hacks who have hated Trump all along jumping on the latest reason to stab him in the back instead of covering his back. The same folks who would rather see corrupt Hillary win and destroy what is left of the rule of law in this country.

Abandoning Trump is going to hurt the GOPee down ballot candidate more than diverting money to them is going to help.

Paul Ryno’s FB page is a hate fest. I still have hope that the Dem wins that race.

This is so true, but I’m afraid the American people won’t be smart enough to figure it out.

We all know the GOPe is hopelessly out of touch with its own party. By bailing, they are doing the exact opposite of what they SHOULD be doing.

You never see Democrats do this sort of nonsense, and the feckless GOPe will only encourage the “deplorables” to fight harder.

Unrelenting hyperventilating hyperbole. I've quit reading the news for the week. Better things to do.

Time for the Deplorables to double down. Names of traitors need to be recorded for payback.

Exactly. They’ve been desperately looking for a Get Out of TrumpHell Free card and are seizing what they see as an opportunity.

Watching all of this unfold tells us that Trump means what he says when he explains what he wants to do for the United States. RINOs have never been so obvious in their desire to be included in the ‘New World Order’ army. They actually think they will be protected once the country is on it’s knees. What fools they are.

Exactly why I only give donations directly to TRUMP. You cannot trust the GOP. If this is true then this is the last of the Republican Party.

We can see know who the real traitors are across the board, the sides are being chosen. It seems a landslide is the only “peaceable” last resort.

Trump and his supporters will salvage it without the GOP. If there’s one thing he’s proved since day one.... he doesn’t need them.

And if these dickless crybabies in the GOP cost Trump the election with their duplicity, I hope he takes the House and Senate down with him. At this point, bring it on. Let's just get it over with.

What’s with Priebus? I thought Trump had raised mega bucks for the Republican Party. They couldn’t have raised that money without Trump. Now they don’t want him anymore.
