The Republican Party was at the brink of civil war on Sunday as Donald J. Trump signaled he would retaliate against lawmakers who withdraw their support from his campaign, and senior party leaders privately acknowledged that they now feared losing control of both houses of Congress.

Even before Mr. Trump’s second debate against Hillary Clinton, the party faced an internal rift unseen in modern times. A wave of defections from Mr. Trump’s candidacy, prompted by the revelation of a recording that showed him bragging about sexual assault, was met with boastful defiance by the Republican presidential nominee.

On Twitter, Mr. Trump attacked the Republicans fleeing his campaign as “self-righteous hypocrites” and predicted their defeat at the ballot box. In a set of talking points sent to his supporters Sunday morning, Mr. Trump’s campaign urged them to attack turncoat Republicans as “more concerned with their political future than they are about the country.”

The pressure from Mr. Trump did not deter new expressions of resistance on Sunday: Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, a former chairman of the Republican Governors Association, announced he would not vote for Mr. Trump. So did multiple members of Congress, including Representative Kay Granger of Texas, the lone woman in the state’s large Republican delegation.

But much of the party appeared to be in a state of paralysis, uncertain of how to achieve political distance from Mr. Trump without enraging millions of voters who remained loyal to his campaign.

'Gentlepeople, allow me to introduce to you the Groper In Chief.' LOL What a joke this election has become. Constant lies, assumptions and conspiracies against Hillary while the Sniffler tells his audience of deplorables that Billy did it too. So all is OK with the world.

"Harth and her longtime boyfriend were in meetings with Trump to forge a business partnership. “He was relentless,” Harth recalled in an interview, describing how on Dec. 12, 1992, he took the couple to dinner and a club — and then situated himself beside Harth and ran his hands up her skirt, to her crotch. “I didn’t know how to handle it. I would go away from him and say I have to go to the restroom. It was the escape route.”" http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/09/opinion/sunday/donald-trump-groper-in-chief.html



"I told people that it would be impossible to be fact-checking Donald all the time, I'd never get to talk about anything I want to do, and how we're going to really make lives better for people. So, once again, go to HillaryClinton.com. We literally have 'Trump, you can fact check him in real time." https://www.hillaryclinton.com/literallytrump/

The funny thing is that there is no real difference between the (D) and (R).

The Big Difference that everyone dismisses ... is that Donald, at Age 70, is still doing this. :laugh:

Yes, I would agree that the (D)s are driving the train towards the cliff at 100mph, while the GOP is only going 60mph.

But the end result is the same.

Maybe not in terms of the politicians, but there is a huge difference in their members...

You are one of those sitcom people who think in one hour blocks of time- with 24 minutes of commercials?
