Trump campaign for the presidency of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Now he tells us he&#8217;s been unshackled by the niceties of having to adhere to the good manners demanded of him by the Republican Party establishment. He&#8217;s going to war with the likes of House Speaker Paul Ryan, who this week has declared he no longer can &#8220;defend&#8221; Trump and that he&#8217;s going to spend all his energy trying to retain the GOP majority in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Does this mean he&#8217;s going to go even lower than he&#8217;s gone to date? Are the future insults against his foes going to make all the <em>previous<\/em> ones seem like fairy tales in comparison?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/trump-declares-war-on-establishment-republicans\/ar-BBxihyE?li=BBnb7Kz\">http:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/trump-declares-war-on-establishment-republicans\/ar-BBxihyE?li=BBnb7Kz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, I do believe\u00a0the GOP nominee is\u00a0going to take this campaign straight into the gutter as it heads down the stretch with Trump trying to overtake Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck with that, Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton said she doesn&#8217;t intend to take the bait. &#8220;When they go low, we go high,&#8221; Clinton said the other night, quoting first lady Michelle Obama, who &#8212; along with her husband &#8212; knows a thing or three about how low political enemies can go.<\/p>\n<p>So, here we are. Less than a month to go and we&#8217;re being threatened yet again by the GOP nominee&#8217;s pledge to go filthy against Clinton.<\/p>\n<p>As if the video recording of his boasting about sexual assault against women isn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>Surely he&#8217;ll fire up the base of his party, which will stay with him to the end. As for the rest of the country, let&#8217;s just wait for everyone else&#8217;s reaction.<\/p>\n<p>My sense is that\u00a0the rest of us\u00a0won&#8217;t like what Trump is threatening to do.
