Donald Trump declared war on the Republican establishment Tuesday, lashing out at House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.), Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) and other GOP elected officials as his supporters geared up to join the fight amid extraordinary turmoil within the party just four weeks before Election Day.
One day after Ryan announced he would no longer campaign on Trump’s behalf, the GOP nominee said as part of a barrage of tweets that the top-ranking Republican is “weak and ineffective” and is providing “zero support” for his candidacy. Trump also declared that “the shackles have been taken off” him, liberating him to “fight for America the way I want to.”
Trump called McCain “foul-mouthed” and accused him with no evidence of once begging for his support. The 2008 nominee pulled his endorsement following a Friday Washington Post report about a 2005 video in which Trump is heard making vulgar comments about forcing himself on women sexually.
“I wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with a lot of these people, that I can tell you. ... especially Ryan,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel. He said if he is elected president, Ryan might be “in a different position.”
In perhaps the most piercing insult, Trump said his party is harder to deal with than even Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, whom conservatives loathe. Yet he also released a new TV ad featuring footage of Clinton coughing and stumbling during a recent bout with pneumonia — signaling that few issues are out of bounds for his scorched-earth campaign.

This is a very positive development.
LET IT ALL RIP. BURN DOWN THE HOUSE. The revolution is near.
Starting to regret the decision I made over a decade ago to cut back drinking alcohol to infrequent occasions ...
Burn it down.
Ryan as a bank teller, Beck in a homeless shelter.
Your enemies are not always your enemies and your friends are not always your friends.
“The MSM will get Hillary elected whether we like it or not.”
Stop with the FUD, sheesh. Trump is going to win. After all the crap that’s been thrown at him he’s still ahead or tied. Grow a pair.
Vote Trump 2016
The MSM was supposed to keep him from getting this far, and they failed. Why are the Rats so worried if they've got it in the bag? You know nothing. At least admit it.
You sound like a bed-wetter. Are you a bed-wetter?
Go Trump!
We are definitely at war.
I live in the wrong part of the country to have much to be upbeat about. I live in one of the lesser liberal areas of California (though still quite left leaning), and I get my choice of two DEM candidates for our House seat. Having to rely on the rest of the country to bail us out give one a feeling of no control over our political destiny.
Oiling up the trigger release on the guillotine as we speak.
Perhaps "We The People" will have something to say about that.
Try another insult and see if you can really hurt my feelings, sweetie.
Then we must be in it to win it.
First, we must ensure that McCain and Ryan are NOT elected. We do that by voting for their respective Democrat opponents.
There are several more.
Their MUST be a price for the treachery of the Republicans.
Cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war!
Go Trump!
Republicans in Louisiana used to feel the same way you do. Then Louisiana finally went Republican in a big way, but it turned out the Republicans were too moderate to stop the Democrats from raising taxes and regulating the economy.
Waa...waaa
Sure wouldn’t want to share a foxhole with you. You’d spend the entire time crying like a baby.
