Is that spin like the effluent, when you pull the lever?

His victory speech last night shows a clever pivoting meant to cause precisely that reaction. As always, he knows exactly what he is doing. They’re always months behind him.

It’s cool. Self-interest is kicking in and those GOP Senators want to stay in political office.

Welcome to the Trump train.

I guess some of them don’t like the Mitch McConnell/Bill Kristol plan to hit the self-destruct button on the party.

Think he’ll have a more “Presidential” debate performance?

They’re debating over whether additional R voters will help them keep the senate?

Between Bernie/Hillary and this I’m having a hard time remembering which is “The Stupid Party”.

We have not even begun to see the down-ticket explosions due to Trump.

I definitely think we will pick up both US Senate & Rep seats with a very large turnout, depressed Dem turnout.

It will a be a quick process come Nov when I vote straight party ticket.

State & Local races will also benefit from a large Republican turnout.

Here’s the deal:
If he becomes President, he is going to show, in short order, how he can get things done and have an immediate impact on important issues.
Once that happens, both sides of the political establishment will forever be tarnished and will never win another election.
They can’t allow him to succeed or else he will expose them for the money-grabbing, game-playing fascists that they truly are.

Astonishing. Trump is losing to Hillary in the national polls. A lot of people who should no better are in denial.

Go ahead,RNC. Break up the party with your petulant behavior concerning Trump and watch all the down ballot candidates head for the unemployment line too. Morons!!!

It’s SMART for senators to get on board with Trump - surprising given their track record of mistakes, but it’s smart.
