This sh*ts not funny: Strategist explains that Trump is causing an extinction event for the GOP-snip-
As if that werent enough, Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak on Thursday posted an epic tweetstorm describing the abject panic that has set in among Republicans, who now fear that theyll suffer massive down-ballot losses if Trump stays on his current course.
OK, this shits not funny anymore, he began. Trump is threatening elected GOPers at all levels in places that havent been competitive in decades We are looking at an extinction-level event.
Among other things, Mackowiak ripped Trump for continuing to campaign in Connecticut when any hope of winning that state is long gone. He also said that Trump needs to dial back his rallies and TV interviews, and spend an average of 20 hours a week doing preparation for the fall debates.
Does that sound like something Trump would really agree to? Probably not, but Mackowiak insisted that Trump had to do it anyway. You cant overstate panic inside GOP currently, he said.

Actually, they probably *will* ask him about his "Obama literally founding Isis." In fact....

Does this mean 2016 and the end of the GOP will be known as the DT boundary?

Maybe Bill Clinton was brilliant when he told Donald he should run. (n/t)

That debate ( my guess just one) is going to be embarrassing to watch.

So if he corrects course, even now, they just say 'water under the bridge'?

I'll admit it would be a lot funnier if we knew for sure Hillary wins and Dems take the Senate.

Trump was correct about all his fellow 'quitter' Republicans, they are less 'worthy' then him.
