Peacemaking Goes Awry as Donald Trump Lashes Out at G.O.P. Senators http://nyti.ms/29ACGom via @nytimes


................He has disappointed some members of the party who have hoped his campaign would become more disciplined, but instead have seen him dwell on and even repeat his own missteps rather than maintaining a focused offensive against Hillary Clinton.

His private meeting Thursday with 41 Senate Republicans, including some who have publicly criticized him repeatedly, grew acidly contentious, according to multiple lawmakers and other people present who insisted on anonymity to candidly recount the proceedings.

Mr. Trump at one point jabbed at Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who has openly called for a third-party candidate to thwart Mr. Trump’s chances, asking Mr. Sasse rhetorically if he preferred to have Mrs. Clinton as president.

Mr. Sasse did not respond in kind — but Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona did.

Mr. Flake, of Arizona, told him that he wanted to support Mr. Trump, but could not because of Mr. Trump’s statements about Mexican-Americans and attacks on a federal judge over his Hispanic descent.....................

3. From the way he's conducted himself in his campaign, you have to question Trump's business skills.

I've always said Trump would be nothing more than a glorified carnival barker making a small income if he had not inherited a ton of money from his rich daddy.

His conduct as a POTUS candidate has been nothing short of boorish. He doesn't listen. He always attempts to ram his agenda down the rest of our throats. He's a narcissist on steroids.

And yet, there are millions who trust this undisciplined juvenile to running this country.

Unbelievable!

7. Trump must be a nightmare as a boss, husband, mate, friend, father, business associate,

attorney client, mentor (probably sexually harasses & bullies),and any kind of partner: game partner, sports partner, gollf partner, business partner..., plus pet owner, family member, in-law.

Who has an easy time being around this guy? No freaking idea! Lucky he started with pop's money!

4. Trump is #NoAuH2O that's for sure. He's way worse.

5. Pu fits.

6. Donnie went to Capitol Hill

expecting all the cons to bow down and worship him and had a hissy fit when didn't. That's all that happened yesterday.

8. He hasn't learned that he can't beat people into submission and expect

Them to like you. Sen. Flake sure got his digs in in reference to trump's comment about McCain's time as POW. Trump is just a pos even his party can't stand.
