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.

The GOP wants to destroy itself, I figured that out a long time ago..they dont want to be in power, they want the Dems to be in power that way GOP “Pundits” can go on TV and complain all the time..if Republicans were in charge there would be no need for GOP pundits would there..I dont consider them establishment, that’s too easy, they are liberal..their ideology is the same as the left, amnesty for illegals, letting all the Jihadist “Refugees” here, Obamacare, etc etc

For now, Priebus is vocally supportive of Trump. The party chairman joined the nominee on Friday...

It was nice to see Priebus there with Trump in Erie on Friday. But where was Toomey? Why wasn't he there with Trump?

Widespread republican losses? Just now they’re reporting on this. Get with it. The republican loss came the day Trump announced.

If it’s any indication, on this site, which is about one half not thrilled with Trump, no one makes any comment of concern that the congress either one could go democrat.

Appropriately so

A lot of hard work went into putting the house then the senate into republican majority only to see them turn around and help the regime

I’m gravitating toward Trump and away from the Republican Party. When all is said and done, I’ll probably end up a Libertarian. The Republicans Party should just merge with the Democrats. I’d rather lose standing for something than lose with the feckless cowards the GOP has become.

Nor the GOPe

Again with the mythical GOPe

With majorities in both the House and Senate, with a plethora of Republican Governors, THAT is your GOP. Now, how many of THEM have come out and openly supported Trump?

Te GOP IS the GOPe.

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

The difference is that Hillary's supporters, including most of the MSM, don't care one whit about her scandals or the corruption they represent. That's mot news to them whether they admit it or not. Huge advantage to the Hildebeest.

The Republicans perfected failure without Trump. Neither McCain nor Romney even put up a credible fight.

As you can see here and at all the Trump rallies, all the BS about Trump is propaganda BS perpetrated by the Joseph Goebbel’s MSM. I never believed it and neither should any of us on FR.

I was thinking the same thing.

WTF good does it do to post this?

We KNOW this already 14 times over.

The guy’s not a concern troll but does put this annoying stuff up too often.

The “noise” that you keep printing?

That makes no sense.

Did he say “My Musli.. Christian faith”

Actually, Obama actually did say: "my Muslim faith." He didn't "correct himself" until impartial George Stephanopoulos corrected him by saying: "Christian faith."

Obama: "My Muslim Faith".

Than why are you posting it?

Obviously we need a safe room for all the Freeper snowflakes who can't handle reading about what the other side is saying.

Suck it up. It's out there. It's legitimate to post it here.

The GOPe should be worried. They are screwed either way this goes and I believe they are too stupid to know that.
