Trump Gears Up To Blame Election Loss On Paul Ryan, GOP Leaders

[DonViejo]

Donald Trump on Tuesday morning continued to lash out at House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), setting himself up to blame a loss in November on a lack of support from Ryan and other members of the GOP establishment.

Following the release of a 2005 tape in which Trump can be heard making vulgar comments about women, Ryan said he would no longer campaign with Trump, but he stopped short of pulling his endorsement. And Trump has latched onto those comments, rallying his base to support him over Ryan.

In a Tuesday morning tweet, Trump warned that the speaker's lack of support could hurt the GOP nominee's chances in November.

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

Trump followed up with a tweet noting reports that some Republicans were unhappy with Ryan's attempt to distance himself slightly from Trump. The GOP nominee painted Ryan as a traitor.

1. If Paul Ryan had any dignity, he'd unendorse publicly and immediately

And give a 20 minute speech on how Trump is a national disgrace.

It would set him up well for 2020, and freeze out the nutbags who have infested the GOP.

2. Ryan should shout out a righteous, fervent screaming WARNING to one and all

Back away from the megalomaniacal Comrade Casino Trump (R) as fast as you possibly can.

3. He really should. Does he not care about the Republic? About his own honor?

He's not going to lose Wisconsin-1, and if he loses the House, so be it. Trump is an unhinged lunatic who is a grave danger to the Republic.

Paul Ryan needs to act.

5. LOL

Literally zero polls show him winning.

Please let he and his campaign continue to think he is ahead and won the debate. Their delusion is taking them right over the waterfall.
