Trump campaign denounces Ohio GOP chairman

Donald Trump’s campaign on Saturday severed ties with the Republican Party's state chairman in Ohio.

The Trump campaign’s Ohio director Bob Paduchik said Ohio GOP Chairman Matt Borges used his position to advance his campaign to become the next Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, according to Cleveland.com.

The move is a major snag for Trump’s campaign in a must-win state where he’s neck-and-neck with Hillary Clinton.

In a letter to Ohio's GOP central committee members, Paduchik said Borges "does not represent or speak for the candidate and he no longer has any affiliation with the Trump-Pence campaign."

Paduchik said Borges's "loyalty to Governor John Kasich's failed Presidential campaign eclipse his responsibility as Chairman of the Ohio Republican Party."

Borges told party members last week they would face no repercussions if they rescinded support for Trump, in the wake of revelations that the presidential nominee bragged to TV presenter Billy Bush in 2005 about his ability to grab women.

"There's no worse way to be spending my Saturday 30 days from an election that (we) absolutely should have won this year than to be spending 100 percent of my time on the phone or on emails or answering questions or [granting interviews] on a topic like this that isn't helping us advance the ball," Borges said at the time, according to Cleveland.com.

1. Delusional

"...an election that (we) absolutely should have won this year..." Borges said at the time, according to Cleveland.com.

Just as fanciful a thought as anything Trump is muttering these days.

If you have any courage at all you will continue to blast your party members continuously until the election.
