GOP Abandoning Trump

We've made it to mid week, Friends,

The old adage is proving true, "a week is a year in politics." Think about it. Just a few short weeks ago, Donald Trump was riding an incredible wave of popularity.

That's now vanished. Not one important Republican is standing by his side.

In a matter of days, Nubbs has become an embarrassment to the likes of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and virtually every other elected GOP official.

We haven't even heard a peep from moribund Governor Chris Christie in days.

A poll released this morning shows Trump's negatives are back to the highest they've ever been. But this time they're moving in the wrong direction.

It seems like years ago that The Donald had any of that all-important momentum.

I refer back to this post and prediction of May24th: WorldsBestPundit.blogspot.com/2016/05/give-him-enough-rope.html,

He's self destructing.

In my entire career, which began in 1974, I've never seen anyone in politics continually throw curve balls at himself. Trump manages this easily.

No one provoked his racist attack on Judge Gonzalo Curiel. And he absolutely blew his chance to look presidential in his speech following the Orlando massacre by politicizing it and looking small.

He used the opportunity to make more insulting remarks, summoning up a tired old wingnut accusation that our president has a secret pro-Muslim agenda.

Please.

It's no wonder the Republican party leadership is wringing its hands.

You think it might be too late to save her? Hey, isn't that Donald Trump in that other life boat?

I give Trump about a week to right his campaign's ship. If he can't manage it, he'll have virtually no chance of getting the party's support...or their money.

Major GOP donors are already reportedly backing away from his campaign.

The likelihood of Nubbs pulling the cash he needs to wage a successful presidential campaign out of his own pocket is non-existent. Without the GOP's financial backing, he's through.

I also believe that a significant chunk of Trump supporters have already abandoned him. They are not racist, and they don't want to be associated with anything that would suggest it.

This may explain Hillary's sudden double-digit lead in the polls.

Watch the next seven days, Friends. It could be the biggest year in politics yet.
