IMPLOSION: Trump’s Campaign Manager “Mails It In” And “Staff Suicidal” - "It Is Way Worse Than People Realize"

The Trump Campaign for President is imploding after an absolutely brutal 10 days where Democrats have rallied around Hillary Clinton and the Republican party has suffered one defection after another. New reports say that an ally of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort received word that the Republican’s campaign manager is, “not challenging Trump anymore” and that he’s “mailing it in” and the staff is “suicidal.”

Maybe it’s because the first Republican Congressman to endorse Hillary Clinton for President went public today, and he won’t be the last. It could be because people who saw Donald Trump’s “dark dark” speech at the RNC came away significantly less likely to vote for Trump , and for the first time in the history of polling (since 1952) the Democratic Party has equalized the Republican lead in college educated white voters.
If it wasn’t already apparent that Trump is no Reagan, one of the late Republican icon’s speechwriters appeared at the Democratic National Convention to pledge his vote to Hillary Clinton , and say it too.
Republicans are fleeing their party in droves after their nominee for President in one single week embraced Russia and Vlad Putin, then took his thrill seeking exploits into uncharted territory by denigrating a Gold Star family (which has strategically sunk his campaign), then publicly accepting a “ Purple Heart ” Award the draft-dodging candidate didn’t earn and topping it off by picking on a baby at a rally. Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign surrogates are wreaking havoc on the airwaves with false claim after false claim, and his staffers begged Senators to commit political suicide to back up his unconscionable attacks on Khazir Kahn. Only today, Katrina Pierson (famous for wearing a bullet necklace on CNN) blamed President Obama for Captain Humayn Kahn’s heroic death in the line of duty which happened in 2004, spawning the #KatrinaPiersonHistory hashtag on twitter.
The long anticipated crumpling of the Republican Party began in earnest this week with the departure of the author of the 2012 autopsy which pronounced the party dead after Mitt Romney’s loss, unless it could broaden its reach to minorities and women, and famously latino voters in particular.
Meg Whitman, who spent $140 million of her own money as a Republican candidate for Governor in California (she lost) became the latest billionaire to publicly dump Trump for Hillary Clinton today too.
Donald Trump tossed all of that in his very first campaign speech ( along with the popcorn ) last summer, and hasn’t looked back as Republicans decided to abandon the coded words and dog whistle racism of the Southern Strategy which has defined their party since the 1970s after the civil rights movement changed our country’s political landscape. Paul Manafort masterminded the modern Republican campaign as the head of Reagan’s southern strategy in the 1980 election campaign, when the candidate’s “Let’s Make America Great Again” slogan made literal sense as the country suffered from high inflation and low growth.
But there’s no level of attention, negative or positive that will satisfy the narcissistic beast of a candidate, who is riding the wave of negative emotion into declaring open war on the top elected Republican, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. Speaker Ryan has denounced Trump’s very worst behaviors from time to time, but still stands by his party’s candidate – who in true abuser fashion went to none other than the “banned” Washington Post to give an exclusive interview refusing to endorse Ryan in his primary . The final Trump self-destruction maneuver is bound to drive a permanent fracture into the Republican Party as the Tea Party extremist wing of the party led by Trump circles its wagons around its die-hard, ethnically homogenous voters who’re driven by fear, anger and hatred peddled with lies. Although, nobody in either party will shed a tear if Ryan gets “Cantored” in his Wisconsin Republican primary election against a completely unknown candidate.
Paul Manafort has managed the careers of dictators, scoundrels and Republicans for decades, and the fact that he’s raising the white flag on Trump with slightly under 100 days left in the campaign is a sure sign that the end is near for both their misguided Presidential campaign, and perhaps their days as a major party in America after this year’s elections.
Because the bottom of Trump’s shenanigans and the Republican Party’s long run misgoverning America’s legislatures has no end, and today is just the beginning, and this follow up report says it all:

Unless something changes soon, there is a possibility that the Republican Party will ask Trump to drop out of the race. This is being openly talked about.
If that were to happen, and I doubt that it would because that would certainly put an end to the Republican Party, since there are still a couple other candidates (Libertarian and Green) I assume that would mean that Hillary could not win by acclamation. Is that correct?
It was on Good Morning America this morning that the Republican Party Committee has discussed what would happen if Trump was forced to quit.
There are something like 160 Republican officials who would choose a new candidate.
I think they'd better get off their asses and do it fast. Can the Republican party just dump Trump? ("Dump Trump" - that sounds like a pretty good motto). What if he refuses to quit? Damn! This is really starting to be fun - almost better than watching a good movie.
Donald Trump has an obvious personality disorder. He is compelled to lie. He was given a replica purple heart medal yesterday by one of his supporters. Trump told the audience that he has asked the vet if the medal was the real medal or a copy, and the man had told him that it was the actual medal the vet had received.
After the Trump rally the vet was asked about that and said he had told Trump that it was NOT the real medal, but a copy.
Trump lies like this many times every day. It is a form of mental illness.
Off topic, but is it true that it is illegal to wear a purple heart if you were not the recipient?
I don't think Trump intends to wear it.
Occupy Democrats? Bias much?

Donald Trump has a personality disorder. The Republicans chances would ultimately improve if Trump steps down, so as a liberal I should want to keep him in , but I will take our chances against Paul Ryan or someone else rather than see a national embarrassment like Trump stay in the race one more day.
I'm going to send him a replica of the Miss Universe tiara. Betcha he wears it and says it's the real deal.
Another hatchet job by yellow journalists.
I think this is another indicator in a long list that show Donald is not living in the real world. All his life he has been able to manipulate situations through bullying and intimidation so it makes perfect sense to him to stick with a strategy that has worked up until now. I think I'm on board with what others are suggesting in that he seems to have a personality disorder.
Good grief. Uhh Joe why are you just mentioning this now?
Trump Asked An Expert Three Times Why The US Can't Use Nuclear Weapons, Says Joe Scarborough
Joe's currently in a twitter war with Donald Trump since he didn't stay on message that Donald is great. Donald has gone on attack against Joe's show and how the ratings have plummeted. I guess Joe has fallen out of love.......
A lot of people are falling out of love with Trump. In time maybe they can reclaim their place in the land of the thinking.
