Republican Despair Grows As Instead Of Campaigning Trump Is Hate Tweeting CNN

Donald Trump is supposedly running for president, but instead of campaigning after a horrible week of shootings, Trump is sitting on his butt at home sending hate tweets to CNN.

Trump is losing in every credible poll. The Republican Party is flailing around deeply divided. The nominee should be leading the party, but Republican primary voters picked Donald Trump, so what they are getting is a lazy candidate who holds a few events each week, and spends most of his time obsessing about his media coverage.

Here is what Trump has been tweeting:

I heard that the underachieving John King of @CNN on Inside Politics was one hour of lies. Happily, few people are watching - dead network!


The media is so dishonest. If I make a statement, they twist it and turn it to make it sound bad or foolish.They think the public is stupid!



Donald Trump is destroying the Republican Party through a combination of incompetence, poor judgment, and neglect.

To paraphrase,
Soon you (the tea party loons that all voted for this clown) will witness the destruction of your Party and the END of your pitiful little rebellion. Now witness the power of this fully armed and UNITED Democratic Party.

Fucking dumb rubes. Fell for the very con their parents and grandparents fought to eradicate...fascism.
Thanks Fox!!!

Party can continue and accelerate its corporatist rightward drift. Power vacuum filled. It will no longer need much left-wing support that prevents total neoliberal domination.

It would have been easy to disregard the depth of that role, but he took it seriously and created one of the more truly just HATEFUL villains in film history.

Are their voters happy they don't have to bother with pesky rallies and campaigning when the donald can cover the basics in 140 characters? Or is it the gop leadership popping Xanax like Tic-Tacs over this guy?

"These theories of conspiracy account for the decrease in Narcissistic Supply. The narcissist then – frightened, in pain, and in despair – embarks upon an orgy of self-destruction intended to generate "alternative Supply Sources" (attention) at any cost. The narcissist is poised to commit the ultimate narcissistic act: self-destruction in the service of self-aggrandizement."

depends primarily on ignorance, bigotry, and fear. This time the Repukes have bitten off WAY more than they'll be able to swallow.
