Donald Trump keeps attacking fellow Republicans

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/the-primary-is-over-but-donald-trump-keeps-attacking-fellow-republicans/2016/05/25/f1ab3c4e-2291-11e6-aa84-42391ba52c91_story.html

Quote
A fresh string of attacks by Donald Trump this week on rivals in the Republican establishment — including one delivered against a prominent Latino governor in her home state — raised new doubts about his ability or desire to unite the party’s badly fractured leadership.

snip

The intraparty skirmishing began with an attack on New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) during a campaign rally in Albuquerque, where Trump blamed her for mismanaging the state’s economy and suggested that she was shirking her responsibilities to her constituents.

“She’s got to do a better job. Okay? Your governor has got to do a better job,” Trump told a cheering audience Tuesday night. “She’s not doing the job. Hey! Maybe I’ll run for governor of New Mexico. I’ll get this place going. She’s not doing the job. We’ve got to get her moving. Come on: Let’s go, governor.”

Next, during a campaign event Wednesday in Anaheim, Calif., Trump rattled off a string of attacks that played like a greatest-hits collection from the raucous GOP primary. He knocked South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s decision to endorse Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), mocked former Florida governor Jeb Bush for his energy level and blasted 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney as a “choker.” None of the three have endorsed him.

“Poor Mitt Romney. Poor Mitt. . . . I mean, I have a store that’s worth more money than he is,” Trump said, adding later: “He choked like a dog. . . . Once a choker, always a choker.” He also called Romney “stupid” and joked that he “walked like a penguin” on stage.

Trump is the best weapon to destroy both Conservatism and the GOP that any Democrat could have ever wished for.

Good grief. Given his behavior even money Trump is kicking the election to his friend Hillary.

He has NO interest in uniting the party, which he must know by now is absolutely necessary in order for him to win.

There will be no massive crossover vote. There just won't be. If Trump does not get out the vote of his ostensible party then he will lose.

Any Trumpkin reading this should know why there are so many #NeverTrumps. 

How the hell is the GOP supposed to unite behind somebody who trashes everybody in the party?  What a cretin.

Saying Trump attacks fellow Republicans is like saying Bernie Sanders attacks fellow Democrats.

Donald should spend less time attacking Republicans and more time attacking Democrats.  This is no way to unify the party, but of course, Trump probably knows that.

It just boggles my mind that we're even in this stupid position to begin with. How the hell did this country's political system devolve into this mess?

 Who would have thought a year ago when we were watching the Obama countdown clock, knowing that Hillary was the best that they could run against a promising field of GOP prospects, that we would end up with Trump vs. Hillary.

In an otherwise sane populace, Trump would have been laughed out of public life a month after he announced and when he trashed John McCain.

Alas, the fever of savior-worship has spread this cycle among Republicans.  And it is just pathetic to see.

Wow...and this is who we are going to entrust our country to?  The guy doesn't even know the parts of speech of the English language.  Let's see ... what exactly does he know?  How to be a bully and how to make a deal....no...more like...how to make a deal by being a bully.

As usual the Liberal #neverTrump is being played by the left like a fiddle. Woman? Check. Hispanic? Check. GOP? Check.  Wow lets roll out the Politically correct DEMOCRAT talking points and fire away. Never Mind shes a flaming Liberal who let in un-vetted Syrian Muslims and started this by bad mouthing Trump like a Democrat does:

"New Mexico’s governor, Susana Martinez, chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, did not mince words: She told the crowd of about 60 wealthy GOP backers that, as a Latina, she was offended by Trump’s language about immigrants. Noting her years working as a prosecutor on the Mexican border and now as a border-state governor, Martinez said Trump’s plan to build a wall and force Mexico to pay for it was unrealistic and irresponsible, according to multiple people in attendance."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/04/19/new-mexico-gov-susana-martinez-makes-sharp-critique-of-trump-at-rga-donor-event/

La Raza last night negated all the Liberal/#neverTrump PC fake hysteria talking points.

So all ya'll are for open borders and more Syrian refugees apparently.... where is this so called Principled conservatives we keep hearing about?

 :huh?:

The way they are being used by the Trump Vilifers is a Verb. He's mocking  the liberal PC crowd of which #neverTrump now belongs.

Trump is a late comer to borders and refugees (he was with Obama originally on those issues)

Trump can't ever buy principles.

Oh that's right - 'Party unity' is only going to happen if everyone genuflects and bends the knee to Trump and kisses his ring, right?

Never. Gonna. Happen.
