Dear god...its everything I dreamed of and then some. This isn't a dumpster fire anymore, its slowly becoming a fucking supernova that might take at least half of the GOP with it. AND I"M LOVING IT!!!

Can anyone explain the tweets? I read it a few times, but I don't really follow what is being said. :/

His campaign is imploding from within.

He looked so happy when he announced he was leaving. No more having to deal with the tea party dipshits.

I didn't see an answer.......what would happen if Trump dropped out of the race? What would the Republicans be able to do
Campaign imploding and implication that Manafort has given up or is resigning.

Wow. Wow wow. There are still 100 days left. We are going to witness a political party being literally clawed to pieces.
Apologize to their party and their voters for fucking up so badly.
Then blame their voters for pushing a toxic turnip like Trump in the first place.
In other words, they break down.

It sounds like Manafort was trying to pull the campaign into some semblance of a working program but that's no longer happening. He's phoning it in, as in, he's not making any real effort to win anymore, just doing whatever is necessary to avoid tanking his career (and staying out of Trump's way in the meantime). And apparently the overall mood among the staff is worse than we can even realize.
I feel like those tweets are new thread-worthy once we have a proper news item to clip to them.
Watching the GoP implode from the inside out after all their hateful rhetoric and discriminatory practices throughout the years is even more delightful than i thought it would be. It really does take all kinds. I cannot stand Trump, but i also cannot deny the good he's unintentionally doing.

Thanks guys. Damn, that's quite the bombshell.
They would appoint a new nominee for the party. Not Cruz though, not after he probably burned a bunch of bridges by refusing to tow the party-line by not endorsing Trump. They would probably go back to Romney and beg him to run again.

Anyone else think he may not make it pass the first debate, if he even goes to it?

Haha oh man I should've shown this to the racists that keep retweeting me.
That will be a good look.
No way, Cruz would come out of this situation with a huge boost from the "I told you so" angle he could take.

As a foreigner watching the American election, I'd love to read a book about Trump's campaign. Just imagine all the dirt that would have.

No current Republican would be able to wrangle the fucking nutjobs that are currently in the tank for Trump. It'd be a mess for the GOP. Actually it's a mess anyway.

The date is set a few weeks after the election, it's going to be amazing if he loses the election and then immediately loses in court afterwards.

Like, if they replaced Trump with Ryan at the top of the ticket, could that ticket win?

Disagree. The person might do better than Trump may do, but there is no way a person jumping into the race with less than 100 days is going to be able to will infrastructure into existence. Trump's base is so rabid, if he would so much as hint that they forced him out, they would burn the GOP to the ground.
There is no good answer here.
Dat GOP Wedge...
This morning Katrina Pierson was making the rounds though.
Been nice watching her crash and burn in a Wolf Blitzer interview, seeing her blame Clinton and Obama for the death of the Khan's son in ... 2004.

If he willingly drops out, there's no reason why his supporters would be upset. Clinton is a remarkably weak candidate and would probably be trailing a generic Republican at this moment.
Black people and hispanics are all going to suddenly flip and vote for Ryan? Women? That's nonsense.
A better candidate could have made this tight, but the demographics are still the demographics.
And of course this too.
Don't underestimate the caliphate that is the Solid South.
I think we very well could see a election where one candidate gets below 40% of the popular vote while also winning all of Dixie and a good chunk of the west still, so not too far behind EV wise.
We'll see a popular vote trouncing worse than Reagan/Carter, but EV not even close to a nap that looks like 1980.

I don't think so, honestly. There is no Trump campaign apparatus to speak of, and we're 97 days out or so. Not to mention the angry voters he'd have to win over.

Fuck no. Trump supporters would revolt against Ryan.
This entire post is false (IMO) - Trump supporters would cry establishment conspiracy and only vote for another fuckbag. Pence and Christie are probably the closest you're going to get to palatable for that crowd and Hillary is emerging as tenacious and credible, ironically due to Trump comparisons. That would linger.
