It's like a mix of Veep and the unrealistic 'political fantasy' shit you roll your eyes at on The West Wing

I'm surprised she didn't try to bring up Hillary somehow.
"You know I think the real issue here is that Hillary has been so effective at manipulating the Republican party. It's just so shameful on her part."

I realize how hard it has to be to be a Trump spokesperson but that interview with Katrina on CNN just now was so infuriating. Why did Wolf Blitzer not challenger her on any of the false statements she made. She blamed Hillary Clinton for the death of Humayun Khan when he died in 2004 :/
I thought Trump had banned the Washington Post from his events. Why is he telling them anything?
Because Wolf is the fucking worst.
You know the answer to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w94jV3OPd78
For the next 50 years I want every Republican alive who supported or remained silent about Trump to be publicly linked to him and tied to him.
Campaign montages have to show his disgusting phrases.
This cannot go unseen.
In Illinois our moderate Republican running for Senate has already distanced himself from Trump, to his disadvantage. Duckworth will help reclaim the Senate.

100% deserved. You decided that the party line was more important than your conscience and now you'll have neither. Ted Cruz is probably having the time of his life right now.
This is why I think the party is totally doomed. They will never have a competent candidate again.

Paul Ryan chose to stick his own dick in this particular wood chipper.

Paul Ryan is likely going to win the primary (and this is good for democrats). His opponent is crazypants.
This gives cover for Ryan to publicly come out against Trump. Not sure who his challenger is for general.

Romney never endorsed him...Just to point that out. Why would McCain endorse this piece of shit, when he made horrible remarks about his capture in Vietnam?

McCain's senate spot is especially vulnerable this year.
Goldwater is only mentioned because his candidacy spawned Reagan. If Trump has his own Reagan in 2032 we're all dead either way.

This is the official GOP gif at this point. They are really imploding.

There are 31 Republican governors compared to 18 on the Democratic side, 232 House Republicans, currently 54 Republican Senators, and they do very well in local and state elections as well.
The Republican party at the national level is in dire condition, and that will modulate to something akin to what the Democratic Party underwent after their embarrassing defeats in the 1980s.
There will be a Romney-esque candidate who will run and win and the world won't end. The Republican Party won't die in this election like many want. It will shift or change or it will continue to be dominate in regional politics and wane on the national stage.

The best part is that neither McCain nor Ryan will rescind their endorsements still.
Trump can break into their houses and fuck their wives and they still will only put out a statement saying "Don pls stop" the next day.

Time to make that Clinton endorsement, John.
Won't happen, considering McCain is a spineless fuck.
PS- Wow, I swear to God I didnt even see the post above mine. Amazing. That was the adjective that just instinctively came to mind.

Who would have guess Cruz would be the Cato of the Republicans.

Does trump ever give any specific examples to anything he references? His phrases are always like a 12 year old wrote them. The paragraph above is him saying the same thing 3 times

This may have been a good move by Trump.

Trump just shot himself in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Republican culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in the Republican Party, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the American public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to vote for either party, nor will they purchase any of Trump's University Tuitions. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Trump has alienated an entire party with this move.
Trump, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for 360 or you can kiss your vote goodbye.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if, in his head, he constantly hears applause and cheering. That's the closest thing I can relate to his speech pattern - when people repeat their last sentence so it can be heard over the clapping.
Only Trump does it constantly. In every single conversation.
It's become like an Advent Calendar for me. Get home from work, find out what insane/destructive/horribly offensive thing he's said today. Can't wait til tomorrow!

Ryan and mccain idiots to endorse trump now
Everything Trump does makes me think he is intentionally loosing for Hilary.
I mean everything he does is political suicide and when it barely affects him he tries harder and harder, plus he ripping up the GOP with every step, just seems to me winning is not his interest.
That and back in the day, everything he tried to do was career ending, how the hell did he do it with the intention to win?
