So, yesterday the RNC stays in with Trump - today Trump declares WAR

Trump draws people over-the-barrel with him. He gets them to be so dependent on him that they can't let him fall. He did this with the banks, investors, the media, and now a major political party.

The RNC can't let him go now or there is a very real risk his followers will not vote at all or boycott down ticket.

When will these people ever learn?

The GOP is so knotted up in contortions to
hold onto their crumbs of power. Trump is
playing them so deviously - and they just don't
seem to learn their lesson. Wow.
