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.

CNBC playing both angles. A candidate at the top being portrayed as trailing badly, while at the same time taking down a GOP party that stands in the way of full DEM control in DC (although if you ask me, it’s been mostly that way for quite some time).

Ryan needs to step down. He represents the donnar class and not the people.

At risk of getting flamed and I am female, I believe Trump might just have Paul, Mittens and the Bushies by their p******!

And I could not be happier. If Hillary ran against Ryan in 2020, I would vote for Hillary.

"He represents the donnar class"

You may have meant 'donor' class, but I think since Ryan loves to eat his own he would be best associated with the 'Donner Class'...

If Hillary is POTUS and still alive in 2020, no one will run against her.

Losers are not winners, just whiners.
Trump has no use for losers anyhow.
Let us deplorables know when your tired of winning.

As for McCain, we are voting for his Dem opponent, he has given us no other choice. That will be our first rat votes.

Of course it will. But the difference is that the man has never been a professional politician. He’s blunt and sometimes crass. And certainly not politically correct. So who will win this election? The political class - uniparty - chumps like Ryan and the geezer McCain - in concert with the globalist corporate shills of the media - or the people trying to save the Republic?

LOL. OK, no flame from here. I think I dislike RINOs worse than rats.
