Trump Just Viciously Attacked Republican Leaders, “My Shackles Are Off!”
The implosion of the Republican Party is in full swing as a wounded and increasingly unhinged Donald Trump lashes out at his party’s leadership for “abandoning him” over his callous admissions of sexual assault. Trump must have taken his phone back while Ivanka was out of the room, because he then went on a Twitter rant calling out members of his own party in no uncertain terms:
Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!

Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.

It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.

Disloyal R’s are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win – I will teach them!

The very foul mouthed Sen. John McCain begged for my support during his primary (I gave, he won), then dropped me over locker room remarks!

Indeed, the “shackles” are truly off as the Trump campaign, in a perpetual tailspin, now seeks to alienate the one group they have yet to attack – Republican white males. The Republican establishment is in a very tough spot right now – either they alienate whatever remains of their conservative base, or they alienate the far-right wingers they’ve been cultivating for the past eight years. The end of the Republican Party is nigh.
