BREAKING: Trump has new talking points

per NYT:

Jonathan Martin ?@jmartNYT 11m
NEWS: Trump urges surrogates to unload on Republicans abandoning him, per new talking pts just forwarded to me (1/)

Trump talking pts urge total war on Rs: "They are more concerned with their political future than they are about the future of the country"

Trump talkers > "Trump won the Primary without the help of the insiders and he’ll win the General without them, too"


As bad as this strategy will be for him, it also shows his tends to lash out in all directions, rather that focus on a specific target. Tonight's going to be a hoot.

If even a portion of his backers don't support Rubio, Ayotte, or hell even Portman, that seat will go to the Dem. The GOP civil war has escalated! He's taking them all down with him!

MUST vote against this unqualified low-life.

He won't win the general without the help of Russian hackers.

They will be dead and buried!

Its all they have had since Nixon's southern strategy to remain a power in national politics.

My only question is will the religious right follow Trump out the door as well?

But they sold out out long ago to prosperity/dominunist heresy.

They just pretend to be followers of Christ.

A divided Republican Party is a best case scenario for us.
