Trump Blames Republicans For Campaign Woes: ‘I Get More Support From the Democrats’

by Alex Griswold | 8:37 am, June 21st, 2016

When asked about his lagging campaign’s deficits in fundraising and the polls, Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump blamed the lack of support he was getting from other Republicans.

“I need support from the Republicans,” Trump told Fox & Friends. “I mean, in some ways I get more support from the Democrats than I do the Republicans.”

“Some have been phenomenal,” Trump did note. “I don’t want to build that up in one way because I have got so much tremendous support from congressmen and senators and lots of other people, but we do need support.”

“By the way, (Reince Priebus) and the RNC have been terrific. But it would be nice to have full support from people who are in office. I mean, full verbal support,” he concluded.

I've always thought the only way we all could get rid of Trump is if Trump leaves on his own because his massive ego won't allow him to lose the election as it seems likely he will do.

If he says the Repub establishment is against him and won't let him win despite ALL HIS SUPPORT FROM EVERYONE WHO LOVES HIM, that gives him cover to exit without looking like the loser he is.
