Kind of a self fulfilling prophecy when only 75% of your own party supports you. Mostly due to the never trumpers leading by example.

Trump's failure to unify Republicans behind him is just that - his failure. He ran the sleaziest campaign against fellow Republican candidates of any candidate in my lifetime. Trump has continued to attack and threaten revenge on other Republicans for not endorsing him, even after he won the nomination.

Trump is either an idiot or he was never serious about winning in November. He burned bridges with other Republicans during his primary campaign and is continuing to burn bridges with Republicans instead of focusing on winning the election. Trump said that he could win without the support of conservatives because he would pick up the support of Bernie Sanders' supporters.

Did you not declare the #NeverTrump movement dead during the convention? In fact, I believe that you called me out by name in a thread title during my break from BGR. Now you are fretting that conservatives refusing to vote for Trump may cost him the election?

If Trump loses to a candidate as bad as Hillary Clinton, he will have nobody to blame but himself. Presidential nominees are not entitled to the support of voters - they are expected to earn support.

Trump needs to understand that every time that he personally attacks another Republican candidate or elected representative, he is also attacking their supporters. He may despise Ted Cruz, Jeff Flake, and John Kasich, but every time he attacks them, he loses votes. You don't have to be a career politician to know that is a fact.
