Trump Can’t Keep Himself From Attacking Republicans For One Month

Posted at 9:27 pm on September 4, 2016 by Leon H. Wolf

 
 
It's been less than a month since Trump - after much heckling and arm twisting - buried the hatched with Paul Ryan, John McCain, and Kelly Ayotte. Since then, Trump has managed to avoid picking pointless fights with elected Republicans - which has helped him consolidate his relationship with Republicans and close the gap on Hillary Clinton.

Welp.

The Great State of Arizona, where I just had a massive rally (amazing people), has a very weak and ineffective Senator, Jeff Flake. Sad!

Incredible. Apparently, what set Trump off was that Flake went on Tapper today and did not kiss the Trump pinky ring. Now, what does that matter to Donald Trump? Very little. If he needs Jeff Flake's help to win Arizona, he is screwed anyway and likely looking at an electoral landslide. If he doesn't, what does he have to lose by taking the high road?

Imagine an alternate universe in which Trump, after winning Indiana, refused to engage any high profile Republicans in a fight. Every time someone like Ted Cruz or Paul Ryan or John McCain or Jeff Flake said something, Trump responded with a smile and a "Sorry he feels that way. I'll be focused on keeping Crooked Hillary out of the White House and I hope that eventually he joins us in that effort, but if he does not, we plan to do our best to win anyway."

Does anyone have the slightest belief that Trump would be at least tied with Hillary right now, if not leading her? I've repeatedly noted that the reason Hillary is winning is because she is carrying 90%+ of Dems while Trump is carrying barely 80% of Republicans.

Anyway, if Trump were capable of understanding this point, he wouldn't be Trump. It's almost a waste of time to point it out anymore.

Same ole Trump, back in his groove.  Attacking Republicans.

Look for more crazy in the days ahead.

It's likely Hillary has more African-American staff than Trump will receive in African-American votes.

   Trump gave money to Mitch to steal Mississippi from McDaniel, The 'Et Tu' moment for the Tea Party.

  The Donald hates Conservatives more than republicans.

Don't you know?  The godfather of this primary season demands loyalty.  But it only works one direction.  He can order you politically killed if you do not do what he says.

@RAT Patrol

The problem is, he is so mentally sick, he absolutely MUST come after anyone in the universe who doesn't "love" him as he defines "love".  Have one small criticism and he internalizes that as this person doesn't love me, so I will destroy that person anyway I can.  You are correct that he will politically destroy any politician who doesn't "love" him.  Remember, he has already said he will start a PAC the next time Cruz runs for Senate so he can destroy him.  I have never heard of any politician who sets about to totally destroy another candidate in a future election that has nothing to do with him.  He will hate Cruz forever, even if he does start a PAC and Cruz is beaten.

The Republicans who are going to vote for Trump have no idea how warped his mind is.  If any Republican sitting at home has one criticism of Trump, and Trump found out, he would set about destroying that one Republican - one out of over 3 million people in the country - even one person in that many people.  If he had the time and could identify each one of us who will not vote for him, he would personally destroy us because we don't "love" him.

He will have plenty of people to destroy - any leader of any country that does not "love" him according to his definition of love, will also be on his destroy list and that is why he will start a war with any country that doesn't love him as he wishes to be loved.

Consider his own words when he speaks to groups - "I love you."  "I love South Carolina."  "I love Iowa."  "I love Ohio."  "See, they love me!." And on and on over and over he says it.  If his love is not returned by a whole state based on his definition of love, he will set about to destroy that state.

This man is mentally ill, insane, in his desire to be loved, and it is plain as he speaks of "love" constantly.  Love is a nice word unless it is used to destroy everyone who isn't in the love column.  None of us who criticize him are in his love column.  He hates the guts of any person who doesn't' love him and will gladly, and must, destroy that person.  That is his way of proving he is the "greatest" loved man who ever lived and that is what he thinks.  If he destroys all who don't love him, guess what, that makes him the "greatest" loved man who ever lived.

The above is my opinion which is my constitutional right to say.  I don't hate Trump, I just know he is a sick puppy who must not be president.

What a racist statement.

But not on the airwaves:


Just in armpits of crime in Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City and so on.

Yeah, Hillary has the felon vote.

But Trump gets the Black Sheriff vote.

Flake is an open borders apologist and a nasty sob.

Surprised to see so many "conservatives" here support him.

It doesn't surprise me. It's in the nature of politics that it makes strange bedfellows. Some of the craziest things have been done by people under the influence of political fervor.

OF COURSE, Trump can't keep himself from attacking Republicans.  That's what DEMOCRATS do all the time.

The idea that to be a good Republican, you have to support a corrupt Progressive, is just ridiculous.

If and when the Republican party ever recovers from this Trump debacle they are willingly participating in, I'll consider rejoining the party.  But as long as they are the party of liberal Trump, I want nothing to do with the national party.

I salute every single (actual) Republican who stands up against Trump.

I agree with all you have said, and I think most people feel Trump is [at the very least] an eccentric character, but I thought Cardinal Burke worded it well in the following:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cardinal-burke-to-u.s.-voters-consider-candidate-who-defend-life-family-fre

Cardinal Burke, the patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the former archbishop of St. Louis, said that even if Catholics see problems with both candidates on various issues, they nevertheless can vote for the one who supports Catholic values the most. 

“More than likely the judgment will be that neither candidates ideally answers these questions all in the way that we want. But given the nature of our government, can we in conscience support one of the candidates, at least, who, while maybe [he or she] doesn't support everything that we believe and know is important, will at least support it to a certain extent with the hope that that candidate can be convinced to embrace evermore fully the common good,” he said.

Burke warned Catholics against not voting at all and against the practice of writing in the name of a preferred candidate on the ballot, saying it could inadvertently cause the election of a candidate who does not respect life, family, and freedom.

“And I understand these sentiments very well. But one also has to be very prudent, and know that by not voting at all you are probably favoring one candidate or another,” he said, adding that even if Catholics wrote in the name of a favored candidate, it would be unlikely for such a person to become elected.

“The moral weight to voting is indeed very heavy. In other words, every vote counts,” he said.

Burke urged Catholics to study carefully the positions of both running candidates before voting.

“Those are difficult considerations, and I don’t say any of this in a kind of easy way. But I do think that Catholics especially need to be very cautious and not simply opting out, or good pro-life people and good pro-family people, simply just throwing up their hands. I would just urge them to study the position of both candidates, to the fullest possible degree, to see whether or not one of them will not advance, at least to some degree, restoration of the civilization of life and love in our country.”

It's pretty sad that Trump "supports Catholic values the most" out of the two who are running, but I think that is what Cardinal Burke was getting at. But, Pence, Trump's VP, is not bad at all, imo, and if Trump could get in [seems doubtful he will unless Hillary dies or has a (different) major health issue], maybe Pence could take over at some point in the future. We're voting the Trump/Pence ticket for that possibility [and for what Cardinal Burke said as well] and also because Hillary is pure evil.

[Sanguine]

I'm going to give Donald a pass on this one.  Flake is a turncoat who ran as a Tea Party type and immediately after he was sworn in he showed himself to be slightly left of John McCain.

I understand the point being made; but voting for evil (and I believe Trump to be evil) is not an option for me.  Pence is the VP in this scenario and the role of the vice president is very very limited and narrow.  We aren't voting for the VP, we are voting for our Commander in Chief. Pence may have better values, but accepting to be Trump's VP also speaks volumes.

IMHO only when we as a country vote our conscious, vote for Christian values, religious freedom and the Constitution will we have a chance at getting our country back. Voting otherwise we have absolutely zero chance. This country was founded upon Christian values and principles. Voting for evil and amoral people is why we are in the situation that we are in.
