Tough!
Maybe change is in order, then?
Trump will have LARGE coattails.
I think we can keep the Senate, I really, really do.
Can you believe Ryan is one of the highest ranking politicians in the country.
I do not want to come across as arrogant; but based on 60+ years of fighting for traditional American values, including hours of using live TV to advantage, I want to share some experience driven suggestions, both for our candidate, and all of us who will be actively promoting a Trump victory in just 20 days.
While speaking in anger can sometimes help rally those who share your beliefs and priorities, it is not the most effective way to convert those who dissent from our purpose. When there is a real problem to be addressed, it is almost always better to speak in sorrow than in anger.
In the present ideological conflict, there is great reason for sorrow. We need to interject, in every possible exchange, those contemporary phenomena that are not only unfortunate from our stand point; but which are likely to be understood as sad by anyone listening to us.
Putting this understanding to work in a situation such as tonight's Presidential debate; Trump needs to intertwine his response to essential policy issues, by sadly lamenting the background social climate, which certainly impacts all aspects of contemporary American life, including the problem reflected in the issue. For example:
The decline in pride in heritage, openly encouraged by Obama's repeated apologies to others for America's traditions & achievement--leading to Americans kneeling through the Star Spangled Banner;--his & Mrs. Clinton's siding with Soros financed thugs against the Police--leading to the cold blooded assassination of American cops;--their refusal to protect the border, leading to job losses among rooted Americans, brutal crimes against American women, and the despicable riots in California, where aliens who do not share our values, or honor our heritage, intimidate local officials into not celebrating the achievements of the Founding Fathers and their posterity.
It was only last week, when anti-American culturalists advocated not celebrating Columbus Day! The Obama/Clinton cabal seem intent on denying that our values & achievements, under uniquely American cultural values, grew directly out of the experience driven values of particular European settlers. That is fact. It takes nothing away from the achievements or values of any other people; but it is our fact, and we are entitled to honor that fact and the rich cultural heritage it reflects.
To the extent that the Obama/Clinton cabal would deny us pride in our history, they are truly bigoted enemies. But we do best, again, when we lament the success of our enemies, as we explain, again quietly and sadly, how totally despicable is this ongoing attack, coming indeed from those who have benefited so much, while gaming our system.
Some may think that this approach is going soft. It is precisely the opposite. In place of venting our wrath at the Obama/Clinton betrayal, we begin to instill wrath in some of those who otherwise would simply go along with the enemy, "to get along."
There is nothing the least bit new in these tactics. Anyone familiar with Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar," is quite familiar with the technique. It worked in the play because it reflects a true understanding of the psychological factors involved.

Fundraising is not the problem. The problem is that R’s in Congress have REFUSED to even try, to stop ANYTHING obola wanted to do. The R’s have FAILED to be the opposition party. Then, many of the R’s REFUSED to back our presidential candidate. If you lose seats, you have to only look in the mirror to see the problem, R’s.
If the Republican congressional leadership had supported the party’s presidential nominee instead of continually undermining him, constituents would have opened their wallets.
There may be a funding gap between D’s and R’s, but not a philosophical gap.
Who would want to donate to Congressional Republicans other than lobbyists? They don’t do anything other than go along to get along.
Boo frickin’ hoo. Where have all those GOP “leaders” been? Certainly not fighting Hillary’s thugs as they try to kill Trump’s candidacy. Worse than simply hiding as these cowards usually do, they actually tried to organize a coup to end Trump’s campaign. I hope every one of these Benedict Arnolds loses his/her seat.
I thought all of the GOPe big donors that they represent were going to donate more down ballot, instead of to Trump.
Maybe they are losing their small donors?
The Bush Family rules are in full effect.

Haven't decided what to write on it regarding my scathing reply, but I will mention the ZERO dollars they have spent on TV advertising for Trump.
I am open to suggestions...
Sorry. Still getting nothing from me. I’m saving up for whatever party Trump starts after he’s elected.
I agree. Ryan is a big, big part of the problem. If he did not go around back stabbing Trump and giving the media sound bytes maybe things would be going better. I know there are a lot of people like me who will only donate directly to Donald Trump. We do not trust the RINOs in the GOP.
As Paul Ryan’s favorite candidate would say...”What difference does it make?”

Calling, calling, calling .... every day. We have call blocker so they don’t get through. Political contributions have been made this year, but straight to the Trump campaign, not the RNC .... of course, we could fill up a paper grocery bag with all the cr@p mailings ... surveys: tell us how you feel about this, that & the other & oh, BTW, throw in some money for us. Then there was the $1.00 bill they sent, wanting us to send it back with a match ... or more. We kept it. Pathetic. Really pathetic ... just like the job they’ve been doing the last 8 years.
Go Trump! Damn the GOPe/Repub/RINO/Ryno/Clinton/Enemedia torpedoes & full steam ahead!!!!
