Hillary's campaign smells blood, now trying to tie Paul Ryan to Trump

Remember when they were trying to drive a wedge between mainstream Republicans and Trump?

Well, now they're actively trying to tie Donald Trump around the necks of downticket Republicans.

The route is on, and every House seat is meaningful now.

No quarter.

Those who have taken back their endorsements have already been targeted by Trump, and he will make sure his voters help him with his payback, and those who won't take back their endorsements are going to be tied to Trump in every state, and they will have to explain why they are still supporting this sick jerk.

Trump seems to be taking the whole bunch down, in the Senate, and in the House! Isn't it wonderful?

Ryan's campaign just said (sorry no link - it was on NPR just a bit ago) that they're focused on not giving Hillary "a blank check" by letting down-ballot races flip the house. In other words, the sleaze bag hasn't unendorsed Orange Hitler, but he has conceded the race for POTUS.

But then, we knew he was a disgusting human being years ago.

Except the rank and file are too stupid to save themselves.

Look for 80% of them to rally around Trump.

And then. Kaboom.

It's an old artillery tactic--shell them, then stop long enough for them to emerge from their bunkers and gather together, then really hit them with the big stuff.

Smart Republicans are staying in their bunkers.
