Donald Trump’s enjoying a wild ride lately in the polls, which may actually be evidence that something could affect his chances of success in November. The presumptive Republican nominee usually keeps on rising no matter what comes out of his mouth, but his anti-Hispanic rhetoric may have worked true damage. The establishment feels absolutely mortified by Trump’s behavior and refusal to modify his tone to unite the party. And his most recent eyebrow-raising speeches cannot be erased by teleprompted efforts, which are actually counterproductive. Voters who actually flock to his off-the-cuff, rip-roaring rhetoric will walk away disappointed, and a scripted Trump fools no one else. Perhaps this is why he’s enduring abysmally low poll numbers, and mainstream news sources like CNN are penning entire columns to advise the Republican party how to ditch Trump.
Trump detractors like Rick Wilson, who is a Republican strategist, are also letting loose with critiques. Wilson unleashed a massive tweet storm that rips on Trump for many things, including how he congratulated himself during breaking news of the Orlando shooting. He nicknames Trump as “Cheeto Jesus.” This is hilarious, but — most of all — Wilson’s ripping the GOP for accepting him as their doomed lord and savior. Buckle up.
1/ How the actual fuck does anyone at the RNC have standing to act shocked that Trump is not doing the basics of campaigning?

2/ You can't elide over his utter dipshittery. No matter how much you try to act surprised, you own this. You're covered in his stench.

3/ History will be so cruel to you.

4/ Your off the record sniping and grumbling is no substitute for moral courage. That's so DC.

5/ You won't escape the stain. It's like a big, visible "No Ragrets" chest tat that will mark your careers forever.

6/ Go public. Man up. Show courage. Say what's in your hearts; he's insane. He's poison. He's doomed. He's killing the Party.

7/ None of you are good enough to spin the unspinnable ratfuck that is Trump. None of you can say, "I was just following orders."

8/ This weekend, people were lined up hundreds deep to give blood to the victims of Orlando. Your Cheeto Jesus was praising himself.

9/ There is no better Trump. There is not Presidential Trump. He is a vile stain on the this Republic.

Mocking Donald Trump’s overly tanned visage is an easy joke, as we’ve noted before, but in this context, it really does work well.
