Total anarchy, full panic mode, and movement toward civil war—that is the state of the Republican Party four weeks before the Presidential Election of 2016.
Donald Trump has gone on a Twitter attack on Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, for refusing to campaign for or appear with Trump at any political rally.
Trump supporters and Tea Party radicals are threatening retribution against Republican members of Congress who refuse to support Trump.
Conservatives are also bitterly divided over Trump, as for example, Glenn Beck and Hugh Hewitt condemning Trump, and Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, and others totally supporting him.
Trump supporters showing up at rallies are talking revolution, a scary proposition, if Democrat Hillary Clinton wins next month, which she most assuredly will accomplish.
And now, lunatic Maine Governor Paul Le Page is talking about the need for an authoritarian President to deal with, get this, what he terms the authoritarian actions of Barack Obama in the past eight years.
The danger of a total breakdown of our government is looming, due to what Donald Trump has wrought in the past 16 months, and we are on the verge of a massive constitutional crisis!
It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump declares himself an Independent tomorrow.
There’s increasing chatter that this election could be a Democratic sweep. http://bluevirginia.us/2016/10/turn-dem-wave-election-like-2006-mean-virginia
The bombast from these Trump Yahoo’s threatening violence is just that. After The Donald gets trounced next month, they will just form a more virulent Tea Party on steroids spinoff group.I have a suggestion on what they can call it–
White Trash Matters….
Yes, Paul, white trash, white scum!
Professor,
Have you ever seen Paul Lepage and Joe Arpaio in the same room together? They are the same person!
HAHA, i see the resemblance, but Arpaio is more than 16 years older than Le Page.
I guess they could be father and son! LOL
Also, Le Page is MUCH heavier than Arpaio, and in some photos, Le Page seems much heavier than Chris Christie, as in the photo where Le Page endorsed Christie for President earlier this year!
Trump supporters are being encouraged by Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorist and right-wing radio host who founded the Infowars website, to show up at Hillary rallies wearing “Bill Clinton is a rapist” T shirts.

This is a disgrace,Princess Leia!
Those hecklers are precisely the deplorables that Hillary was referring to.
Exactly, Pragmatic Progressive!
I posted an update on Ronald’s Utah thread (10.13.2016 @ 10:30 p.m. ET).
I suggest following more and more what this can do with the voting electorate for the popular vote, the margin between Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton, how it shakes out on the map (for carried states), and down-ballot races.
From the date of my posting, there are 26 days from Election Day. Some states are involved with early voting. I think we are at a time where people have made up their minds. But, for those who are not yet dealing with it, there is liable to be more momentum going away from Trump and toward Hillary. (I’d say a lot of those people handle elections the way many deal with their taxes—delay it until the day the election arrives.)
It will be interesting to see the results. (On numerous levels.)
