In calls this morning, many Rs privately want to defect from Trump. But they say the debate gave them pause since he roused their base.— Robert Costa (@costareports) October 10, 2016
I feel like I’m losing my mind. Of course the problem is the base. That basket of deplorables love their guy a lot more that they love their congressmen. Did anyone doubt it? What did they think was going to happen?
They are screwed and they deserve to be screwed. 90% of them went along with this, joining in the “festivities” of Trump’s Nuremburg Convention, saying nothing all these months as long as Trump had a chance to win. Now that he looks like he’s finally gone too far, they’re rats deserting a sinking ship.
Cry me a river.
Update: lulz
Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 10, 2016
