The day started, of course, with Trump meeting with House Republicans in an attempt to slow or at least halt a threatened public mutiny about Trump’s behavior, including his bizarre rant about the Star of David tweet during a speech last night. Although Trump faced some tough questions, for the most part House members appeared ready to listen and left the meeting and for the most part did their best to turn the national focus back to Hillary’s carelessness with national security.
As he has always done, however, Trump decided to respond to any news cycle that’s bad for Hillary by publicly drawing attention back to some stupid thing or another that he’s done. And yet again, Trump didn’t disappoint.
First, he picked a public fight with Jeff Flake and Mark Kirk, calling Kirk a “loser” and telling Jeff Flake he was probably going to lose an election (that he isn’t even facing this year).
Then he asked whether he would respect the constitutional powers of Congress and he responded with an answer that clearly indicated that he doesn’t know the Constitution from his own rectal canal.
This is now the fourth or fifth time that elected Republicans as a whole have attempted to come to grips with Trump and talk themselves into the idea that he can maintain message discipline and at least not bring them down with him. They have begged and pleaded with him. They have basically deluded themselves into believing that now, Trump is going to turn the corner. Now, he’s going to become Presidential. Now, at the very least, he’s not going to be an offensive, clueless buffoon.
And they tried to do their best to save his flailing candidacy today. And in return, he went out and shot them in the face. Maybe they should just stop trying.

Trump says it was a chore to rip Clinton. "Doing it cuz I feel I have to do it and it’s sort of boring." Wanted to get on to other subjects.
