Welcome to the GOP meltdown

I honestly think that it is funny because he was "trying" to be presidential and nice earlier. Now he is out of the pen so to speak and just going at people like he doesn't care. I honestly think we are screwed no matter who gets in so I am just laughing and adding more ammo to my stockpile.

I must've missed that 30 second period of his campaign.

Two big-money donors who have given or raised tens of thousands of dollars for Donald Trump are livid at the Republican presidential nominee and are asking for their money back, according to a bundler who raised money for Trump.

"I cannot express my disappointment enough regarding the recent events surrounding Mr. Trump," one donor wrote to a Trump fundraiser in an email with the subject line "Trump support withdrawal."

"I regret coming to the Trump support event, and in particular allowing my son to be a part of it," the donor, who had given to and raised money for Trump, said. "I respectfully request that my money be refunded."

Crash-and-burn politics truly make for strange bedfellows. On Tuesday afternoon, as Donald Trump's campaign was in full civil war with the GOP establishmentwhich had begun to abandon him after the emergence of a 2005 video showing him bragging about committing sexual assaultthe Trump campaign sent out a press release highlighting a column that praised Trump and his turn to nothing-but-scorched-earth tactics. The column hailed the besieged GOP nominee for aiming his fire at Republican elites: "If he is going down to defeat, he will go out as Trump, not some sniveling penitent begging forgiveness from hypocrites who fear and loathe him." But it also defiantly declared, "The Donald Lives."

The point of the press release was to show recipients that Trump was still in the fight and receiving support. But there was a twist the campaign did not acknowledge: Trump once fiercely attacked the author of the column, conservative pundit and onetime GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, as a bigot and a "fan" of Hitler.

In 1999, Trump was pondering a run for president as a Reform Party candidate. So was Buchanan, who had mounted a feisty but unsuccessful populist (from the right) campaign in 1996 for the GOP nomination. That year, Buchanan published a book on World War II that contended that Hitler had not posed a direct threat to the West and that the war had not been necessary. Trump leaped to criticize his potential rival. At a visit to a museum run by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an organization that promotes human rights and studies the Holocaust, he denounced Buchanan, saying, "We must recognize bigotry and prejudice and defeat it wherever it appears." He noted, "I think Pat Buchanan should come here, absolutely. His views are so far off, and what he wrote in his book was so bad."

Major GOP Donors Are Asking Trump for Their Money Back

Two big-money donors who have given or raised tens of thousands of dollars for Donald Trump are livid at the Republican presidential nominee and are asking for their money back, according to a bundler who raised money for Trump.

"I cannot express my disappointment enough regarding the recent events surrounding Mr. Trump," one donor wrote to a Trump fundraiser in an email with the subject line "Trump support withdrawal."

"I regret coming to the Trump support event, and in particular allowing my son to be a part of it," the donor, who had given to and raised money for Trump, said. "I respectfully request that my money be refunded."

Senior Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the campaign is "unaware of any donors making such a request."

The donor has buyer's remorse after the release of a vulgar videotape last Friday that reveals Trump describing unwanted sexual advances on women.

A second donor also requested his money be returned because he is "mortified" over the leaked videotape, according to another email obtained by NBC News.

"I can not (sic) support a sexist man. I have three young children and will not support a crude sexist man," the second donor wrote. "I expect a refund of my donation. Please process immediately and I thank you for your help."
