The Latest: Trump Says He's Happy to Go It Alone

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Jun 15, 2016, 2:32 PM ET

The Latest on campaign 2016 (all times Eastern):

2:30 p.m.

Republican Donald Trump has a message to his fellow Republicans: I'm happy to go it alone.

The presumptive GOP nominee told a rally crowd in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday afternoon that Republicans can "either stick together or let me just do it by myself."

And he predicted that he can do it "very nicely' alone.

Trump has faced growing backlash from many in his party over various proposals, including his call to temporarily bar foreign Muslims from entering the country.

Out of the 17 candidates.

Bush possible if Trump hadn't knocked him out. Only because the media wouldn't have called him out and republicans
would have pushed that same type of narrative that GWB got, with minimal exposure that would show Jeb's lack of
everything.

I mention this because I wonder who they could try to replace him with. Ironically, Romney might have been the actual best
bet this election. He did give Obama a run for his money, and Obama had a higher net positive I believe.

They know that with another stupid Bush, that they can finish what they started in 2001.

failed Governor whose own State hates him and could be indicted.

Then the biggest whine-fest you've ever heard will begin as Donald casts about for someone or something to blame besides himself.

I'm really wondering if he's gonna make it to the convention or rather past it.
