Trump Virginia staffers organize protest of GOP HQ in DC instead of doing GOTV in Virgina
Those saying Trump crushed it last night are looking pretty dumb.

Trump swung hard at House Speaker Paul Ryan, who announced he was abandoning efforts to help elect Trump earlier in the day. His team highlighted the number of voters who pledged to vote only for Trump and no other Republicans. And Trump's Virginia state director convened a protest outside the headquarters of the Republican National Committee, accusing the party of bailing too quickly on their only chance to stop Hillary Clinton.
"These are all establishment guys who have never supported him, and theyre using this latest thing as a pretext for withdrawing their support, said Corey Stewart, the Trump Virginia director.

Paul Ryan should spend more time on balancing the budget, jobs and illegal immigration and not waste his time on fighting Republican nominee

The Joker is going to burn the GOP down from the inside.
Trump already attacking Paul Ryan ... for not defending Trump
Remember that Ryan hasn't withdrawn his endorsement, merely acceded to reality Trump can't win.

Well, now they're actively trying to tie Donald Trump around the necks of downticket Republicans.
The route is on, and every House seat is meaningful now.
No quarter.
Hillary's campaign smells blood, now trying to tie Paul Ryan to Trump
Remember when they were trying to drive a wedge between mainstream Republicans and Trump?

Atlantic City casino real estate turf war between pornographer and mentally unstable, serial sexual assaulter.
Oh boy. I have a feeling the "womanizer" bit is understating what they have on him--casino developers cheating on their wives isn't a story. Something else has to be.
Penthouse did oppo research on Trump in 1990 to blackmail him
http://articles.philly.com/1990-05-16/news/25888833_1_donald-trump-al-glasgow-casino-siteATLANTIC CITY Penthouse Magazine threatened to expose Donald Trump as a womanizer unless he stopped trying to block its $40 million deal two years ago to sell its abandoned casino site to a Trump rival, the Sands Hotel & Casino, according to court documents here.
The documents were filed by the Sands as part of an antitrust suit it has brought in Atlantic County against Trump. The suit contends that Trump tried to eliminate a prospective competitor by keeping the Sands from buying the casino site. The site is at the center of the Boardwalk, between Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino and Caesars Atlantic City Hotel-Casino, the prime commercial real estate site in Atlantic City.
...
Two state police intelligence detectives invited by Glasgow monitored the conversation from the adjoining booth but did not tape-record it, according to sources close to the situation.
Glasgow, according to court records, wrote memos following this meeting, held at Orsatti's Restaurant in Atlantic City, and at least 13 other conversations he had between April and August 1988 with Myerson and other Penthouse representatives. The memos were sent to Steve Hyde, who was then Trump's gaming chief and who was later killed in a helicopter crash, and to the state Division of Gaming Enforcement. The Sands declined to say how it had acquired those memos.
In one of them, put in the court record by the Sands, Glasgow wrote
that Myerson "implied that Penthouse was prepared to do an expose on Trump
if he tried to stand in their way by appealing and dragging out zoning
approvals. . . . "
Myerson, Glasgow wrote, asked for derogatory information on Trump. Glasgow said he gave no reply. Then, Glasgow wrote, Myerson made "certain innuendoes about Trump's personal life and to be more specific they were as follows:
" 'Check out the fourth floor at the St. Moritz. . . .'
"All the implications at this time (were) about girlfriends," Glasgow wrote.
"Myerson asked me how do I think Donald's wife (Ivana) would take all of this . . . and he asked me whether I was aware that there were community property rights in New York even though everything was in Donald's name."
According to published reports, Marla Maples, the woman linked to the developer in the Trump divorce case, lived in the St. Moritz Hotel in Manhattan in 1988, when Trump owned it. Donald Trump and Maples have publicly denied having an affair.

Donald Trump is the Brexit candidate. He was right. (wish I could do screenshots)
Just not in the way he thinks. Maybe call him the "Trexit" candidate.
