Petulant Child Throws Twitter Tantrum

[eveofrevolution]

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump went on a Twitter tirade against House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican leaders in general after Ryan in a conference call yesterday with GOP House members told them that he was not rescinding his endorsement of Trump but would not defend or campaign for him

It's the other half that will really make a difference. Angry Trumpzis punishing downticket Republicans is the only thing that might free Congress from its carefully gerrymandered Republican control.

do you think there will be people who go out and vote trump but abstain in downticket races because the party turned on him?

[ceruleanst]

I've seen them saying they're going to, and urging others to do the same, so we can hope so.

GOOD. i didn't expect dems to make many gains in the house until after 2020, but let's get started early haha

I've seen several ppl on my social media feeds posting that they've noticed Trump signs have disappeared from their neighbor's yard after the video. That being said, I wonder how many of those people have actually dumped Trump vs how many are just going underground with their support out of embarrassment.

I really hope that's the case; today I drove by a house down the road from me that had Trump signs completely lined from one side of the lawn to the other.

Yeah, and I'm guessing a good chunk of them simply had them vandalized after this weekend. No change of heart, just "victims" of drive-by pranksters, who, while I sympathize with them on some levels, are probably validating them in their heads, and giving us less of a warning about who the bigots are.

I grew up in OH-2. Jean Schmidt was my congresswoman while I was living there.

I'm surprised! I feel like all the Trump supporters I see are completely irrational.

I only know one Trump supporter in real life and I'm afraid to make any comment about the video because he's my boss and I want to not cringe in disgust more than I already do when he's around. Then again he has like eight children with several different woman so that makes me even more concerned that he might not see Trump's disrespect of women as an issue.
