COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado — As Republican loyalists continue to flee, Donald Trump ignited new party tensions Tuesday by refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan or a pair of senators seeking re-election, a remarkable display of party division just three months before Election Day.
The Republican presidential nominee told The Washington Post he's "just not quite there yet," when asked about an endorsement of Ryan, who faces a primary election next week. In doing so, he echoed the House speaker's comments of almost three months earlier, when the Wisconsin congressman was initially reluctant to embrace Trump as his party's standard bearer.
Trump's statement comes amid intense fallout over his criticism of the family of the late Capt. Humayun Khan, a U.S. Army soldier who died in Iraq in 2004. Indeed, just two weeks after a Republican National Convention that tried to focus on party unity, the Trump-driven rifts inside the GOP appear to be intensifying.
On Tuesday, retiring New York Rep. Richard Hanna became the first Republican member of Congress to say he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton in November instead of Trump.
"He is unfit to serve our party and cannot lead this country," Hanna wrote in a column published in The Post-Standard newspaper of Syracuse, New York. "He is unrepentant in all things."

Yet, they demand we endorse Trump for the good of the party while he is busy wrecking it

In the end, those who distance themselves from that cesspool waterspout will be the ones who come out clean.

Anybody heard anything from Jeffie Boy Sessions lately???
He as much as any one person is responsible for giving this cretin credibility. His career should be toast.

*sigh*
Its as if he wakes up every day thinking of new ways to blow his campaign up.

Trump doesn't care much for Kelly Ayotte either. Thinks he's running against her:

Does it terrify Donald Trump as much as it does me? I don't know.

We have because it is going to happen, and you can thank Trump for it. Let that sink in.

On the bright side, it looks like the Trumper running for my congressional district seat is getting his butt handed to him in our primary tonight.

Gad, even Manafort thinks that Trump's a raving lunatic.

Funny: I thought that Ayotte's opponent was not Donald Trump, but Maggie Hassan, our current liberal Democrat governor. But what the hell do I know? I only live in New Hampshire. Could this man be any more destructive of Republican electoral ambitions if he tried?

More crazy from Trump. The only reason I like O'Reilly anymore is that he has Trump on nearly every night:

If this guy actually gets elected and sworn in...... There is no doubt he'll be impeached. Both sides hate him, so in a way he will bring both parties together..... At least for one thing

That is the second best out come. The best would be him stroking out while taking the oath of office.

We are are getting two terms of Hillary if she wins. Even if it is a weekend at Bernie's scenario.
As Carson said, we could get one term of Trump- or less.
