“He just seems willfully destructive and willfully sort of sadistic about other Republicans,” said Rick Wilson, a Florida-based GOP consultant who has spoken out against Trump for more than a year. “Finally, people are like, ‘No more. We’re done. We’re not playing this game anymore.’”

From the above article...
"All of the flare-ups point to a singular frustration: Trump’s refusal to take advice.
Combined, they have also helped restore Hillary Clinton to a solid lead in most polls, renewing fears among Republican leaders that Trump could drag down-ballot GOP candidates down with him.
The last two weeks have been terrible for the Republican nominee, conceded Barry Bennett, a former senior campaign adviser to Trump. “I can’t deny the obvious,” he said."
National polls, like the PRK and psychotic individuals in that state, remain irrelevant. The battleground states - those that matter - remain essentially within the margin of error. And, the American electorate remains stupid with an attention span rivaling that of a gnat for longevity.
Yep Rob even the Fox News Poll has Clinton 10 points up on Trump, this is the first Poll that has included running mates and best reflects the opinion of Voters

this is an absolute disaster of CATACLYSMIC proportions now !!
Trump needs to stand aside and let someone have ago as Hilary is probably the weakest Democrat in decades and was so beatable.
We squandered a chance to keep Hillary out of the White House. In fact, by running Trump we guaranteed the Left almost complete hegemony over the Supreme Court. All because we were duped by a reality TC con artist. Sickening.

I like Trump, (almost) always have, but the man is going down, down, down.
I believe that he really doesn't want the job and never did. Now as it is staring him in the face he is trying in every way to avoid it.
More than one political commentator has openly speculated that very thing---he doesn't really want the job and is hedging his bets by claiming the election is rigged. Therefore, when he loses, it won't really be his fault at all.
I don't know what's the matter with him. Instead of talking about how to improve the economy, defeat ISIS, a sane policy toward Iran, and security here at home, he wastes four days denouncing a gold star mother and loses the support of what should be some of his natural supporters. Undecided voters, and even Republicans, are starting to wonder if he's sane.
Unfortunately if he goes down, we lose too. Dammit Donald. Stop it! Everyone gives you the same advice. Did it ever occur to you to take it?
Stfu! Who do you think you're helping? Cast your vote for Hillary and phuc off.
I see, so it's the electorate's fault Donald has been stomping all over his Johnson in public view? Unreal. I predicted long ago on this forum that nominating Trump would guarantee Hillary's election (and thus Leftist control of the Supreme Court for the next 20 years). That is precisely what is happening right now. DT is imploding because he is DT. The serial bankruptcies, the reality TV mien, the poor financial track record, the failed business ventures, the numerous affairs, the ego, the lack of self-control, the draft dodging, the insulting of women and veterans---it all told us something really bad about this candidate and you refused to see it. We will pay a helluva price for the ignorance and idiocy of the Trumpkins and hence, their election of Hillary. You gave us the weakest candidate possible Trumpkins. Thanks
Why don't you whine a little more? Didn't get your way so you stomp your feet like a petulant child. I voted for Cruz for all the good that did me but I'm not on here every day crying like a butt hurt chick.

The very people considered the weakest, most-despised part of the Rs are suddenly being paraded as the insightful ones now... as if Trump voters cared what they think.
And the MSM is more than happy to spew it to block and counter Hillary's pustulence. And losers and pretenders to the conservative side of things are happy to continue it. And Trumpkins are the problem?!?!?
The game is just beginning, the only thing that matters is the score at the end.
Yep, and I can think of several good people who would be doing much better right now. And I think there were several around here that warned of the potential and likelihood of this disaster unfolding like this. Did anyone mention that the general election works somewhat differently than the primary?
Astonishing what saps people are to fall for the media narrative. They lie, embellish on the lie and reflect the turnaround in a new poll that apparently happens over night.
And people fall for it! They are being manipulated and don't even seem to realize it.

Just saw another poll on Wifeys msn homepage that had Trump at 56% and chitlery at 42%, hows that happen Bob?
Isaac clearly u just dont get Politics, its normal for both Candidates to get a post convention bounce of around 4-5%, Trump just put his foot in mouth post convention like dumb puhck with little self control and Bam the polls reflect his performance not Hillarys doing a single thing.
People expect a statesman like performance from Trump now that he has the nomination and instead we get a lunatic who abuses a Dead War hero's family and a crying Baby !!

Spot on. It is just BS stories that are manufactured and embellished to distract form her corrupted campaign and that of the DNC. The media sure can't talk about the billions that just went to iran,, or the stabbing(s) in London......

Sit down and shut up.
The lawyer was a Dem Party operative, up to his eyeballs in the immigration corruption. Got what he deserved for being used as a Clinton operative.....kinda like you.
I'll be voting for him but [bleep] I wish he would wise up and start campaigning on real issues instead of obsessing over every minor perceived personal insult.
He keeps passing out loaded ammo to the opposition instead of sending live rounds its way.
Wise up T run the ammo through the weapon before sending it downrange.

I will gladly choose Trump arguably disrespecting a Muslim lawyer with Muslim Brotherhood ties, over Hillary's absurd behavior with sensitive info, money laundering, pay for play State Department management, etc....

It's propaganda 101. I'm surprised you're so naive. The MSM is the willing vehicle. The method is to zero in on every little detail that's slightly unbecoming a candidate, magnify it absurdly out of proportion (to include talking points for all news outlets), then ignore all aspects of his campaign that would shed a positive light on him. Reverse the above for the Democrat candidate.
Problem is that folks listen to the narrative the media is spinning. Notice they aren't going after Hillary.
-------------
Precisely.
We have our fair share of MSM sheep here, as well.
The real problem is, Trumps not going after Hillary or Obama either, with lots of opportunities ignored. Trump, as usual, is going after republicans. Doing Hillary's work for her. And you idiots are giving him cover like always.

Failing to win any of Bernie’s disaffected folks over- which he seems to be failing at with aplomb- and not going after other needed voters, Trump seems to be very secure in his own little universe. He cannot insult his way to victory.
Short of a whole-scale revolt by the people, this election is being handed over to the Democrats, and there is really no excuse - other than a wholesale case of ‘stupid’ on the part of ‘Republicans’ who have failed to see the charade.
2020 is where it’s at if there are enough intelligent conservatives left who can get this thing back on track. There is more than a single reason why Hillary won’t be more than a 1-term president. We just need to focus on keeping the Senate and the House in Conservative hands.
Acting like a 6th grader worked in the primaries. Someone needs to remind ’T’ that the primaries are over and the same act won’t work in the general.
For all his supposed business acumen he is exhibiting political idiocy unless this is somehow purposeful which I can't believe.
Where the heck are his expert handlers? Hilliary's pulling a trailer load full of crap with a bullseye painted on the side that any ordinary person with some common sense would strafe into ribbons.
The media? Of course, they've long gone to the dark side but so have about 48% of the masses who listen to them when they are listening.
And what about the big name R's--I hear crickets. I think they have decided to not back him and to submarine him if he doesn't accomplish it himself.
The Donald better quit extemporizing and begin focusing on his opponent and pick a few major issues (of which there are a basketful) and flesh them out or we will be a sorry lot. And we may be anyway.
Why, because I'm being proven correct? It will be a tragedy for the country if Hitlery wins, but look who made it possible? It's not the fault of the MSM or Hitlery that DT is our candidate (actually, the MSM gave DT millions in free press and, I think, deliberately held fire because they wanted him to be our candidate) or that DT cannot stay focused and cannot stay on message. That is entirely his doing. Yesterday he made a campaign appearance (Florida?) and all he could talk about was the Megyn Kelly and "blood coming out of everywhere" fiasco. WTF? Are you kidding me? Missed opportunity after missed opportunity to go after Hillary and Obama on numerous issues. Instead, he's more focused on getting revenge on Republicans and journalists on issues more than a year old. The guy has a serious, serious personality defect/disorder or something that is making it very difficult for him to act like a genuine, serious presidential candidate. He's letting us all down, but I always knew he would. I'm not surprised at what is happening. I predicted it.
