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.

Doesn't he mean Gaff

"Hook-em Trump"

You are correct.

[laplata]

That’s right.

I’m in northwest Florida.

I’m mainly talking about federal offices. Rubio is my senator. If he wins his primary, which I suspect he will due to having three opponents, I won’t be voting for him.

I was also looking at Evers for congress, but I don’t really have any use for Paul Ryan and his congress or Mitch McConnell and his senate. One sure way to remove them since their stupid voters won’t is end their majorities.

So you just post this #NeverTrump crap and run? You want Hillary elected POTUS? FOff.

Who forced you to click on the thread?

Sheesh, take a Midol.

WRAL is an extremely liberal/pro Hillary “news” organization.

It is a new NBC (nothing but Clinton) affiliate.

One paragraph buried down in the article reads this way:

“It all largely overshadowed the content of 44 previously-unreleased email exchanges Clinton had while at the State Department. They became public on Tuesday and showed her interacting with lobbyists, political and Clinton Foundation donors and business interests while serving as secretary of state. “

THIS ANTI-HILLARY STORY SHOULD BE THE HEADLINE, WRAL!!!!

Hillary's Associated Press SuperPAC stirring the pot for Her...

... turning their backs on their party's presidential nominee to prevent what they fear will be wide-scale Republican losses on Election Day

And just what is that going to accomplish? If they put up a 3rd party, they lose.

The only other alternative is to support Clinton and that is what they are doing. They would rather hand her, as president, the duty of appointing several SC justices, and they will likely lose the Senate so McConnell won't even be able to block the appointments.

Yeah, they still are the Party of Stupid, because they keep re-earning that distinction.

Imagine if we added Biden’s gaffs oh my gosh!

[jonsie]

Thanks, will do-probably won't make it pass their liberal screeners.

[AFreeBird]

The only ones imploding, is the establishment.

The very liberal WRAL shilling for Hillary again. I sent an email to the RNC yesterday telling them what I thought of them and any thought of stopping funding to Trump. I assured them that they would need to ask him if they wanted anything from me as my contributions go only through his site.

It was not 2 hours before I got a reply from "Claire " at the RNC ... Thank you for writing in. All stories about the RNC reallocating resources or withholding support for Donald Trump are FALSE. This is just another example of the mainstream media’s dishonesty. Thank you for your continuous support. Let’s win! — Claire Republican National Committee

Yeh they are so sick of Trump Reince Priebus gave him a stellar intro at yesterday’s Penn rally. Don’t listen to this garbage. Trump is the most dynamic candidate we have had in 16 years.

The Republican Party could be nearing a breaking point with Donald Trump.

Well what do we have to do to push it [them] over the edge, or get it to blow up or whatever it is on the verge of doing, which I presume is in fact nothing like it always is with our favorite GOPeers? I mean how many times have we thought that the intertebrate assexual blobs of protoplasm were on the verge of doing something only to have them swim backwards in their cesspool to avoid doing anything at all.

Really, it's a nice thought, GOPee breaking or exploding or imploding or something like that. But those are action verbs and action verbs don't take GOPee or its members as a subject.

So, how do we send a big FUDC email to the rnc?

[cornfedcowboy]

The two go hand in hand. If Trump does well, so do down ballot candidates. It also works the other way. Better support and pull for all of the Republicans.

They can back their nominee or their party is history.
