The stream of down-ballot Republicans breaking with the Trump campaign over Mr. Trump's past vulgar language has now been capped by the notice from House speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that "he will not defend or appear with" Mr. Trump, and that "rank-and-file" Republicans are on their own "to do what's best" in their districts. Ryan's counterpart in the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), for his part, is giving the presidential campaign controversy the silent treatment: "I don't have any observations about it." But The Hill observes: More than a dozen senators have either rescinded their support of the GOP nominee or called on him to step aside.

This is the essence of it.
Trump now knows exactly who the confederates are.
They will have no place of influence in his administration.
Favors done by the Trump White House will be few and far between.
And come ‘18, these miscreants will most assuredly face primary opposition with the disadvantage of the White House not supporting them.
This is their bed. They’ve made it. They must live with it, but most will try and wiggle and squirm out of accepting any responsibility for their words and actions.
What a sorry state our politics finds itself in today.

Mine is retiring after 2 terms so what he says has no bearing. Not sure where the new Primary winner stands, he was the GOP head for TN for a while. Fairly conservative. There is no way I could vote for the unknown dem, and a write in won’t work no one even came close by a very wide margin. He has made NO statements. Now our RINO gov lame duck is another kettle of fish another ryan. He has his own Pilot Oil Scandal.
I will not be voting for Kelly Ayotte. Like Hasan, she is a DC Uni-Party operative and has withdrawn her support for Trump.

And Sun Tzu along with wise Persians knew what’s up long before now. Guess those turncoat Republicans thought they were too good for that old-fashioned advice.
This isn’t complicated. Support Republicans who didn’t participate in the attempted coup, and oppose those who did. Relentlessly, continuously, and without remorse. Such is the battle for the future of the GOP.
First off, who gives a crap about Paul Ryan? The guy is useless and I for the ne could care the less about him. Source of the leak, abandoning Trump, who he was never with, who cares. I am focusing on Trump s helping his campaign. I will vote down ticket as well, as long as Trump is on the top of that ticket. I will sort out the rest later.
Secondly, who cares about Paul Ryan.
Third, Donald, he ain’t your opponent on the ballot, stop caring about Paul Ryan.
Does he seriously think we've forgotten that stunt with starting the ball rolling for legalizing gay "marriage" out of "respect for his son"? That he was oh-so-sly about staying in the middle of the road instead of 100% supporting Trump during the RNC?
Portman is disgusted about Trump's words, but not about his son's lifestyle or by Kasich not honoring his pledge?
I do think that he made a political calculation that he's so far ahead in the polls that he can't lose. Time for a rude awakening!
Hugh Hewitt is a lying Bush bot working at salem open borders media , a Trump hate outlet.

They hate us. The lot of them.
No, but his treachery and villainy will.
Nothing, they're just common traitors who used their office for personal gain. So on that note:
PLEASE TELL DAVID JOLLY & MARCO RUBIO I WILL BE ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNING FOR THEIR OPPONENTS
I'm done with you.
Another comment: I just went to Portman’s website and left a somewhat venomous comment. He is being DESTROYED by comments of Ohio voters, with no one defending him. Perhaps other freepers can get in on the well-deserved disgust that’s being expressed.
Hugh Hewitt reminds me of a backstabbing co-worker.
Ben Shapiro is a whiny petulant child with a voice to match.
They are uni-party members.
The silver lining is that there’s going to be a real DC housecleaning. The trash was all lined up; they must have known the coup attempt was coming. Pray that sane undecideds wake up and realize a Trump victory is the only way to get rid of the Dems who’ve backstabbed them.
Unfortunately, there are not many competitive districts. The most rabid anti-Trump GOP like Charlie Dent are basically unopposed. This is what fascism looks like, IMO.
I just caught a few minutes of Hewitt’s show but he sounded totally insane. Glenn Beck insane. He’s off the deep end again on a never Trump tantrum. Conservative media is such a fraud.
Ayotte will pull a Jim Jeffords after Trump wins. Better to just take out the trash now.
ANY “down-ballot Republican” who is running under Paul Ryan’s - Hillary Clinton’s hatred of everyday Americans is a DOWN THE TOILET candidate as far as I am concerned.
ANY “down the toilet” Paul Ryan surrogate candidate is EMPOWERING Paul Ryan and the ilk of the “leadership” to LEAVE US withering on the vine to DIE under Hillary and so I AM LEAVING THEM. And ANY candidate who is Ryan’s surrogate.
