Wow. Trump is tearing America apart. This is a disaster. Also, inb4 Seriously calls NBC a liberal hack.

[The Advocate]

Funny how the final straw might not be his race-baiting attacks on a federal judge, calls for Russia to hack the emails of a former Secretary of State, or the heartless, sexist, and Islamophobic attacks on the grieving family of a fallen American hero, but rather the refusal to endorse Paul Ryan. Says a lot about the GOP leadership, really.

If anything, he's uniting us against a common enemy if this happens?

An unfortunate kernel of truth.

Also, Trump is quickly making a landslide scenario more and more possible for HRC.

If she can somehow win the House, she has the potential to go down as a better president than Obama.

This is big.

Oh Katy Tur, another great pro-Republican "journalist."

With that said, I didn't know that any Republican was required to choose sides in a primary, Trump included. He is under zero obligation to support Ryan, especially when some in the party hope that Ryan gets Cantored next week.

Yeah they had some real reasons to dump him and now this is what they pick? So typical but they probably assumed that Trump would do what they wanted after they rammed him through the convention while crushing every and any challenge.

Well Ryan did support him, which costs him a lot more than Trump endorsing Ryan would.

There is a distinct possibility that Clinton is going to debate Pence three times. I think Trump slinks out of the race knowing that he will face a humiliating defeat

It's sad, and now their chickens are coming home to roost. If they actually thought that Trump would suddenly turn into a controlled, dignified nominee, they're idiots.

Whoever said Trump was obligated to support Ryan in his primary? It is not about obligation, it is about reciprocity and not juvenile revenge tactics. A party - even one as dysfunctional and devoid of respectable ethic principles as the GOP - is an organization that can only function properly when all of its parts are cooperating. Despite the grandiosity of the current nominee and the delusions of his faithful, such as yourself, he cannot and will not successfully compete electorally by himself. He desperately needs the support and collaboration of the other powerful figures and forces within the party - such as Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus. Just look at the sad, desperate email he sent requesting their support in the controversy his bigotry and lack of self-control created with the Khan family.

-Your candidate is down by the mid to high single digits.
-Your candidate refuses to endorse top members of his own party who have endorsed him already.
-You expect the "evil" establishment to blindly follow.

You have lost any and all credibility.

Based on this member's posting history, that ship has sailed a very, very long time ago.

Was just gonna say something similar. Seriously? never had that much credibility to begin with. Anyone who doesn't think Sarah Palin is an idiot is an ignoramus.

[Indy Texas]

It's definitely unsettling that Republicans seem more bothered by the fact that Trump can't win, isn't an orthodox conservative and disrespects party officials than they are by the fact that he's a racist, mentally unstable sociopath.

Also, Paul Ryan now looks like a craven lapdog who got played by Angry Pumpkin Spice Mussolini. He deserves to lose his primary.

Psssh, I can totally see Donald with his feet up on his desk putting Reince on speakerphone and silently mocking him with exaggerated faces and talk-to-the-hand gestures.

Was the one of the staffers named John Barron?

Well, think about that...

Donald Trump is the id, the manifestation of everything that the GOP base/Tea Party/Fox News/RWNJs/conservative talk radio have pined for for a long time. These people will continue to steadfastly support him no matter what because not only do they hate Hillary Clinton with an infinite number of hates, they absolutely abhor the GOP establishment/moderates/RINOs who they feel have betrayed them time and time again as well. Republicans have created this problem and now they have to pay the piper.

In his defense, Trump is just the messenger and is giving a voice to these people who feel they don't have a voice right now in the corrupt GOP establishment/party leadership/etc., and when these people see these party leaders like Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell/Reince Priebus/whomever denouncing Trump, it just reinforces their anger and utter detestation of the establishment while simultaneously strengthening their support for Trump.

Donald Trump isn't entirely to blame for his train wreck of a campaign; the Republican Party's message is, mostly at the state level. Their War on Women, voter ID laws, and anti-immigration rhetoric, among other things, made it very easy for an "outsider" like Trump to tap into this anger mainly held by the disaffected white working-class voters who see "their" country ("Real America") changing, becoming more racially and ethnically diverse, less religious, more educated, more tolerant of counterculture, and with more gender equality. They feel they're losing "their" country and the typical Republican solution to this problem has been to blame minorities and women for their resentment and difficult economic situations; hence, why Trump wants to build a wall, ban Muslims, demeans women, and so on.
