Strategy is when he loses, he can say it's because he lost because the party stabbed him in the back and it wasn't his fault. Or weaken them so he has influence among Republicans

What does he want to do? It looks like he wants to become boss of the Republican Party. That means that he has to remove from influence others who might challenge him for the role of boss of the Republican Party--who might be strong enough to lead an effort to marginalize him after November 8.

Trump: Is There Any Method Here?

They were nothing more than Democrats in sheep's clothing. They lied to us and we want them out.

I understand that some liberals are so stupid that they can't comprehend that not everyone blindly follows a letter behind a name, that some of us actually hold our politicians accountable when they lie or vote in way we don't agree with. Liberals have a habit of following lock step because they can't think for themselves. They need their nanny government to tell them what to do, how to think, and what to say. So it is not surprising in the least that they can't grasp the concept of Trump not giving a damn if the establishment pukes in the GOP fall to the way side as we voters kick their butts out this election season.

You see, most Trump supporters know that this isn't just about electing a president. This is about much more. We've been telling you for a year now why we are voting for Trump. You all keep thinking it's about Trump. You all keep missing the point. You all keep failing, as does the Hillary camp - it's why she struggles so hard to get her "easy win" to the White House...because none of the idiotic liberal twits who are supporting establishment are listening.

With any luck, the liberal psychos who support Hillary will be having a very, very bad November and beyond. I'm going to laugh at every last one of you for four solid years if Trump wins. Not only because all we're going to here is incessant angry whining from liberal psychos who supported Hillary the evil beast, but because we will finally have a chance to get this country back in order...that includes booting out a few useless twits who had the audacity to call themselves "Republicans".

Yeah, we're not worried, toughie.

It's, um, odd, to hear that lifelong Republicans are RINOs, while the guy who's been a functional D for a lot of his adult life is the true Republican.

But OK, it's your party and it's your candidate. And BTW, you're welcome to him.

I will say that it's much easier to be a D - no political purity test is required. Saves a lot of time and energy, too. We can just focus on the agenda, and if someone wants to help - no one's going to argue whether that someone is a true D or a fake D.

Somebody pointed out that we need a new 5-stage model: Denial, anger, anger, anger and anger.

It's not that people didn't get that Trump is a middle finger directed at the establishment pukes - it's just that he was, predictably, a futile way of bringing about change. Because while there are a lot of very angry guys in the GOP who wants to fight the RINOs - whatever that cute little term means this week - you're outnumbered, nationally, by the people who looked at Trump and decided that not all change is for the better. Trump's positions didn't exactly place him well for a pivot, and his lack of impulse control made it impossible for him to even attempt. And so you can win the nomination battle, but not the election war.

People looked at your candidate and backed away, slowly.

Trump is a dangerous man. This is just more proof he is unstable. He wants to be a king not President. He needs some psychological help.

Hillary wants to be a queen. What's the difference?

Trumps buffoonery is on display yet again. Sane GOP voters should take solace in knowing that in 4 years they'll have a good shot at winning the WH back after 12 years provided they nominate someone who can actually be elected.

Not queen. President. Get used to it. Trump spiked the ball in his latest twitter storm. The election is over for Trump. Trump is merely entertainment from this point forward.
