1. I'm not sure if the GOP now owns Trump or if Trump owns the GOP

[olegramps]

22. He is the perfect representative for a party that appeals to ignorant ignoramuses

[PJMcK]

24. Donald Trump has taken full possession of the Republican Party

The fact that he has nearly all of the Republicans in DC cowed shows that Mr. Trump is THE FORCE of the GOP. Really, it's amazing and shows just what lightweight wimps those critters are, especially Senator McConnell and Speaker Ryan. Hopefully, Democrats will be emboldened by this revelation and take over both Houses of Congress in November.

2. their cowardice is one of the main reasons der drumpfenfuhrer is their candidate.

[UtahLib]

3. They're choking on their just desserts. eom

[TwilightZone]

4. Their professed ignorance isn't terribly convincing.

[MyOwnPeace]

26. Quite the opposite -

I am TRULY convinced that they are terribly ignorant!

[TwilightZone]

27. Oh, the real ignorance is real. The fake ignorance is fake. :)

They're perfectly aware of what Trump is saying and doing.

[Chan790]

37. I'm not sure "ignorance" or "lack of awareness" is the correct takeaway from those.

That sounds more like lack of support for his comments leading into loss of support for the nominee...by Republican lawmakers. That's a good thing, really. It shows that if he should somehow win...and I don't think he will...but if he does, it suggests a schism that he won't be getting a lot of cooperation on his nuttery from elected Republicans.

It's never a bad thing for Democrats when the GOP nominee is so insane that even the GOP feels the need to marginalize and politically-castrate them.

[heaven05]

5. typical responses

of the RW cowards that are causing chaos and murder in our private lives and total gridlock in our governmental processes.

[MH1]

6. We can always count on the GOP to display profiles in courage.

LOL.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. Trump's nomination...

reminds me of the Dave Chappelle skits- When keeping it real goes wrong.

[Night Watchman]

7. Jeez, Mike Enzi looks Ready for the Undertaker

And I'm not talking about professional wrestling!

[gwheezie]

8. Trump is the gop, they need to get used to it

Sad!

[Big_K]

9. Mitch McConnell looks like he just took a dump in his shell

[turbinetree]

10. Really ---------------------

Sorry boys and girls of the fascist party-------------------you can't have it both ways, your party picked this hypocrite-----------------and to think and say you haven't heard about what he (drumpf) is "now" saying, is a point of fact that your bunch of lairs, just like him

Your ilk are really disingenuous-------------you have a television on in your office everyday listening to what is going on, and if you had any briefings in your office with your lobbyists, you had to speak about what this buffoon is doing today to "Make America Great Again"----------------right -------------nice try, try another play book, your party and this election is tied to this guy and your past policies.

Now be like the true lemmings of your ilk and race toward the cliff---------------you own this hypocrite and yourself, your party created this "birther" "racist" lock stock and barrel.


Every time you hypocrite's speak it reminds me of a dog chasing its tail, you catch it and don't know what to do when you get it

Honk-----------------for a political revolution

It is about getting a Progressive Congress, U.S. Supreme Court, and State Legislatures

[world wide wally]

11. These people are PROFESSIONAL cowards

And WE pay them to be.

[63splitwindow]

12. He is TRULY an inspirational orator...

he inspires others to duck, run and hide.

[L. Coyote]

13. "Trump Has Dementia" announcement coming on day one in Cleveland.

Can't wait for the Republican Circus to start, all the clowns under the same tent, the elephants on parade, ...

[Cyrano]

14. I've always been afraid of clowns

Now there's a rational reason for my fear of clowns.

[ailsagirl]

30. Wow! Just googled "trump dementia"...

and came up with 1,640,000 results

[Roland99]

15. They don't have the party talking points yet so no one is saying anything

can't figure out if they want to back that horse or whip it.

[NBachers]

16. Run... Run... Run . . . but you just can't hide

And the band played on.

[Kali]

17. HAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

dumbasses.

[mckara]

18. Profiles in Courage

[Initech]

19. Wow, even GOP senators don't like Trump.

[greyl]

35. But we can't presume their "no comment" coy evasion means they disagree with him. nt

[czarjak]

20. Congressman Conway doesn't want to be drawn into a debate...

WHATEVER, Dickhead.

[Ccarmona]

21. The Senators' Collective Silence

Is Deafening

[Penn Voter]

23. The Three Senate Chimps and Don the Con

Enzi - Speak no evil

Hatch = Hear no evil

McConnell - See no evil

Don the Con - Evil

[63splitwindow]

25. Excellent and Welcome!

[keithbvadu2]

28. The Orlando shooter was a religious conservative

The Orlando shooter was a religious conservative following what he felt were his religious beliefs.

He was just much more effective at it than our own Radical Christian Terrorists who bomb clinics and kill doctors attending church, rationalizing it on their scriptural beliefs.

[ailsagirl]

31. I like Orrin Hatch's response...

"I frankly don't know what you're talking about."

[47of74]

32. What that all sounds like...

(I wish I could find the one of Servo and Crow T. Robot making those noises instead)

[Monk06]

33. Half the GOP congress unwilling to support their candidate and nobody willing to stump for him

He is a one man clown act and all he has is cream pies and fart gags

He's an international embarrassment Worse than his pal Burlisconni who hit on his friend's 17 year old daughter

When Putin is rooting for a US presidential candidate you know he thinks the guy is a muppet and will be easy to rattle

My prediction is his next act of blustering cowardice post convention will be his refusal to debate Hillary

Take it to the bank there will be no Presidential debate Either that or a much delayed one at the very last minute

If Harper was still in power here I would be expecting a duet of Sweet Caroline between the two of them

Luckily Trudeau ended that possibility

[Chan790]

38. My takeaways as well.

Their silence is deafening. Even elected Republicans are not willing to support and back Il Trumpo's fascist schtick.

[vlyons]

36. Gutless Wonders

and this is why the GOP based turned against the GOP leadership -- gutless wonders with no moral compass.
