What the Hell is wrong with this guy?
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's campaign appealed to Capitol Hill for support on Monday as his attacks on the Muslim parents of a decorated U.S. soldier killed in Iraq drew sharp rebukes from fellow party members.
Help me out, here guys ! It’s just a dead soldier, come on, throw me a line, back me up!
It’s like he just cannot believe they are not with him on this. What’s the matter with you guys? Sort of like the boor who tells a rancid joke at the office party after a few too many, or maybe gropes the bosses’ wife, looks around and can’t understand why everyone is staring at him, aghast.
Rob Wasinger, a onetime congressional candidate who has been working for the Trump camp on congressional outreach, sent an email to senior Senate aides saying, "We want to get several member statements out today on this, and would really appreciate your help."
A similar appeal was made to Republicans in the House of Representatives, according to a senior aide.
That’s so awesome! He "would really appreciate” it. And look, here’s some EZ talking points he worked out:
Attached to the appeal were talking points lawmakers could use to try to tamp down the controversy growing since last week's appearance at the Democratic convention by the Khans, the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed by a bomb in Iraq 12 years ago.
So, who wants to go on record? Now’s your chance, boys!
In all seriousness, if you have to run for help to the Republican House or Senate trying to “tamp down” something you’ve done, and you can’t even keep that fact hidden from the press, your campaign has yuuuuge problems.
