ALTOONA, PA. — The Republican Party could be nearing a breaking point with Donald Trump.

As he skips from one gaffe to the next, GOP leaders in Washington and in the most competitive states have begun openly contemplating turning their backs on their party's presidential nominee to prevent what they fear will be wide-scale Republican losses on Election Day.

By some bizarre reasoning, they think the lack of support is that Trump is dragging them down. They're too delusional to recognize that we're so fed up that we'll find ways to give money to the Trump campaign and make sure they don't get one damn cent!

Buying gear from the Trump website is a good way to do that!

Allow me to translate:

The Globalist/Elitist Party calling themselves the GOP have always loathed Donald Trump, and now they are becoming more vocal.

As he is subjected to one press-manufactured "gaffe" to the next, Elitist Establisment leaders in Washington and in the most competitive states have begun creating the division they long have planned, in order to ensure that their Establishment friend, Hillary Clinton, be elected.

Re : Post #4 ~ Republicans, stop taking election advice from Democrats and the MSM.... ~

Republican ‘Representatives’ and ‘Legislators’ are ALL UniParty whores that concern them selves only with their bribes, payoffs, and kickbacks - they don’t even PRETEND to care what their constituents need/want anymore!

These critters enrich themselves on Your dollar$! And Who Knows/They might one day dance a merry jig at the end of a rope.

Ive always been loyal to the GOP, but this election, the ONE thing Trump has shown me is what the Republican Party has become..heck I should have seen it a long time ago..their ability to cross that aisle and join the Dem party without batting an eye..John McCain saying in 2008 that we “Dont have to fear an Obama Presidency” election after election saying the ONLY way we can win election is if we nominate “moderates” yeah..well we nominated two “Moderates” two elections in a row and what did that get us..our asses kicked that is what it got us

Education, education, education. What Donald and others need to do is explain to the populace that this is a tactic, saying something over and over to make you believe it. Don’t be fooled any more.

Hillary is resorting to appearances in classrooms now, during class, to make it seem like people take the time out of their busy day to hear and see her.

This is the Clinton Machine running the media...

Trump is fine, remember he just hired the people that ran the Brexit and they didn’t play around did they....

Trump is playing to win, nothing has stopped him yet and it won’t...

It’s not our time....It’s God’s time...

The gop-e continues being traitors to their electorate. They MUST become the Whigs of the 21st century.

Roger Stone explained the other day on Info Wars, that part of the contention between the Trump camp and the RINOs at the RNC is an argument about where to spend the money that Trump has helped raise in the last couple of months. The Trump campaign wants to use a good portion of that to target traditionally Democrat blue collar voters. As we all know, these voters represent a huge potential voting block for Trump.

The RINOs are scared of this because they fear, not without some justification, that this will hurt down ticket GOP contests (i.e. those voters will turn out to vote for Trump but will vote mostly Democrat down the rest of the ballot). The problem with their narrow minded and selfish thinking, beyond the fact that electing Trump matters a hell of a lot more to the country then preserving another do-nothing GOP majority, is that if they would simply get on board and start supporting Trump, they could ride his coattails. In fact, if Trump started getting unified, strong support from his party, he could make the case to voters who plan on voting for him, that it will be much easier for him to accomplish his agenda if he has a GOP majority.

Trump will find a way to get most of his agenda implemented even with a split Congress, IMO, but it will be much easier with a solid majority.

And yet, no one at the DNC or the MSM are at their breaking point with Hillary and all her scandals.

Nor the GOPe

The fact that it is you saying this, is meaningful.

‘In spite of all the criticisms and vitriol being heaped upon Mr. Trump by Washington’s political elites, he has neither wavered nor sold his soul to the devil of Washington politics. Instead he has remained faithful, true and honest’

The 2014 folding of the GOPee Congress was the end. Now they will get some just desserts for at least a few cycles.

I will vote for Trump, all others will fail. He is bombastic, but he will do good for America after all the evil socialists before him who seek to destroy America using racism and feminism and Islam, the left and the rino right are one people and all of them are enemies of freedom and liberty.

Did he say “My Musli.. Christian faith”?

Listen to the clip: he doesn't catch himself in mid-phrase. He clearly says, "My muslim faith." Georgieboy tries to clean it up, but it's there for all to see and hear.
