Trump Refuses To Endorse Paul Ryan, Keeps Laser-Like Focus On The Enemy: Congressional Republicans

You would think that a guy who is falling further and futher behind Hillary Clinton would do something to avert that free fall. Something like maintaining his focus on Hillary Clinton and getting her and her dishonesty back in the news, or doing something to divert focus away from his disastrous confrontation with the Khans.

Instead, Trump is making news for, as you might have guessed, attacking Republicans, who are definitely his problem right now:

Quote
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is refusing to back House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in his upcoming primary election, saying in an interview Tuesday that he is “not quite there yet” in endorsing his party’s top-ranking elected official.

Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John McCain in his primary in Arizona, and he singled out Sen. Kelly Ayotte as a weak and disloyal leader in New Hampshire, a state whose presidential primary Trump won handily.

Congressional Republicans say they have to line up behind Trump so that Trump can beat Hillary. Trump clearly believes that the best way to beat Hillary is to run against Congressional Republicans. I am at a loss as to why they won't let him. If Trump believes he is best served in the general by an ongoing public spat with every Republican in Congress, then Republicans in Congress should return the favor. Withdraw their endorsements. Make it clear that Trump is running alone and on his own. Let Trump run against both them and Hillary.

It's what he wants, so I say let him have it.

Could it be more obvious that Trump is trying to hand the Senate and House to the Democrats?

John McCain and Kelly Ayotte are key races to win in order for Republicans to maintain control of the Senate. If they lose the Senate is turned over to the Democrats and you can forget the Donald ever getting a conservative Supreme Court Nominee through.   But then Trump said He 'Doesn't Mind' Losing The Senate To Democrats.

Spiteful, vengeful ahole. 

He loves Putin "because he said nice things about me."

Ryan and McCain haven't said nice things about him lately, so he'll pout.

I agree with Wolf.  Pull the endorsements and let the bastard run on his own. And pull any RNC money out of the presidential race and jerk all the RNC employees out of the field who were working for Trump.

I think this is the beginning of the end of Trump.  If Hillary plays her cards right, she can nail this thing down in August.

Yep.  They wouldn't listen.  Now the Trumpsters are tied at the hip to the guy, dragged around like an ISIS prisoner, subject to whatever humiliation the Orange Goofball inflicts on them.

"Not quite there yet"

Isn't that the precise language Ryan used in speaking about Trump?

God, what a completely stupid, vengeful child Trump is.

Wow, after Ryan sold his principles for him Trump sends him down the river like Chris Christy. So much for that pledge and the party and all.

It couldn't have happened to a more feckless, flaky group.

At least Cruz wouldn't have campaigned against republicans.

Suck it, RINOs.

May Hannity's show be consigned to the same bottomless pit Trump seems determined to drop his campaign into.

For anybody wondering, Ryan doesn't need (and probably doesn't want) Trump's endorsement:

As stipulated in the "deal" he made with the Clintons last year.

An increasingly credible conspiracy theory.

At least until the gasbag starts really campaigning against her.

Yes, it is, and yes, he is.

Stranger than fiction, this election.

McCain has been a GOPE traitor for a very long time. I very much hope the cockroach losses his primary.

Paul Ryan has passed very substantial legislation in his short "tenure" as  Speaker with majority democrat votes. I cannot remember pelosie doing such with majority R votes.  So that POS needs to lose as well.

Good riddance to both those Traitors.

Hey Sinks... I sure hope you are wrong.

Don't care for trump..... but I care even less for those two.

Moving major legislation, like Ryan has done, with majority democrat votes is a deal breaker with me. May as well have a democrat controlled House.

And McCain is just an old corrupt fool. Who also wins his seat with democrat votes. Like trump.
