Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.

Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!

Why is he doing this?

[spooky3]

1. Because he suffers from

A) narcissism, and is overly sensitive to criticism, so he lashed out and retaliates rather than solve the problem

B) Dunning-Kruger effect, where he actually performs well below average but believes he's much better than average, because the same cognitive limitation that contributes to poor performance also prevents him from accurately seeing the performance

[oberliner]

7. You don't think there is any strategy behind it?

Like he is setting himself up to be the champion of this group of angry white people who don't trust anyone in government?

[spooky3]

10. Oh, I'm sure you're right about that too.

But if you were a smart strategist and not suffering from a few key psychological problems, wouldn't you have figured out by now that there aren't enough of those voters to elect you? Wouldn't you actually read the polls and try to devise a winning tactic rather than delude yourself that you're surging?

[oberliner]

17. Maybe he is more interested in making money post-election

Than in actually becoming POTUS.

Forming a media conglomerate of some kind.

19. I think you're giving him too much credit. But I guess we'll see!

[alcibiades_mystery]

21. "I think you're giving him too much credit..." That's been the story here

[oberliner]

24. Probably

Most likely he is just an immature baby.

[PatSeg]

18. I think his psychological insecurities

tend to override any strategy. He can't help himself. He has to strike back.

[kwassa]

22. I totally agree.

He is a prisoner of his narcissism.

[PatSeg]

23. I think we have another candidate

with major "daddy issues".

[winstars]

2. Because he is a f---ing a--hole. Thats why. Any more questions??? LOL

[oberliner]

8. That goes without saying

I am just wondering if it is strategic or just stupid.

[BSdetect]

3. You need to encourage drumph at this point

Attack everyone drumph.

They are out to get you.

Tweet all day and night.

Whatever pops into your head.

[semby2]

4. Imagine

Imagine if Hillary was tweeting out right now attacking Nancy Pelosi.

LOL

5. I think the man is great and he's right. I encourage him to do more of this. All the

way to the Nov. 10 election.

6. His mentor was Roy (never apologize, strike back) Cohn--enough said

26. That's really ALL you need to know about Trump

It starts and ends there.

BTW thinks I've been spelling it Cohen for a while now.

9. like a dream come true....watching them eat their own.....

[Thrill]

11. What polls show he won the debate?

[emulatorloo]

12. The ones where they polled the voices in his head

13. paul ryan deserves this

[BlueStreak]

14. Glad Trump has so much time on his hands. Most candidates are busy the last 30 days.

This is an old man with a mind of a 12-year-old.

[Siwsan]

15. He is existing in a total break from reality

I'd love to hear what his family is saying behind his back.

[reflection]

16. Because he knows he is going to lose

and he intends to say "I would have won, but the Republican party pulled all the support from me just as we had destroyed Hillary in the 2nd debate and had the momentum." He'll blame the party and instruct his supporters to burn it down. Obviously the premise is garbage but that never stopped Trump before.

My $0.02, worth what you paid for it.

[procon]

20. He reacts like a 7th grader.

As an adult, Trump is a fraud, a jerk, he's the boorish lout at the office party. As an immature adult, he is the 12 year old bully who boasts about getting some other kid to do his homework. He the loud mouthed coward who blames everyone else for his failures. He's the smug braggart who always exaggerates his abilities as the biggest and bestest ever. He's the brute who is self absorbed by the size of hands and his genitals, and measuring women's lady parts. He's the lazy ass who uses put-downs to bolster his fragile ego. He believes everything he says, and seems totally unaware that most people see his shortcomings and recognize his insecurities.
