In the last piece we looked at how Trump kicked leading GOPers who have taken all kinds of flak for endorsing him right in the gut by talking up their primary opponents.

Kelly Ayotte sure showed Trump for not supporting her by saying she still plans to vote for him. She drives a hard bargain.
Now the NRCC is saying if you feel that you have to back out of your endorsement, it's ok.
"Few Republicans want to campaign with Trump."
"POLITICO asked four dozen GOP candidates a simple question: Will you campaign with Donald Trump? Hardly any said yes."
"The dodging comes as senior GOP strategists grapple with how to deal with Trump. Amid the latest controversy surrounding his criticism of a family of a fallen U.S. soldier, some are urging Republican down-ballot hopefuls to take a harder tack against the nominee. Liesl Hickey, who served as National Republican Congressional Committee executive director during the 2014 midterms, has begun circulating a memo — obtained by POLITICO and titled, “How to Survive in 2016” — addressed to imperiled House GOP contenders in which she argues that they have little to lose by distancing themselves from Trump."

Meanwhile, Mike Hanna is the first GOP Congressman to come out and say he's voting for Hillary Clinton.
"This post has been updated with Rep. Richard Hanna (R-N.Y.) and a top former aide to Chris Christie, Maria Comella, now backing Clinton."
"Richard Armitage, Henry Paulson, Brent Scowcroft. Three big-name former George W. Bush administration officials in the past few weeks have announced that they are supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016 — all because Donald Trump is simply a bridge too far for them."
"When it comes to the presidency, I will not vote for Donald Trump," Paulson wrote in The Washington Post. "I will not cast a write-in vote. I’ll be voting for Hillary Clinton, with the hope that she can bring Americans together to do the things necessary to strengthen our economy, our environment and our place in the world. To my Republican friends: I know I’m not alone."
"He's not. And below are the big names that are with him — or, perhaps more accurately, with her."

Chris Christie for his own part now criticizes what Trump said about the Khan family.

"To be in the game, a nominee must have over 90% of party support. Trump is running against Trump & he's losing."

Running against himself and losing. Ie, let him beat himself.

Now you see why Hillary is right to take a 'cautious' strategy. Just get out of the way and let him shoot his own foot off again.
Stuart Stevens on getting along with Donald Trump:
"Trying to get along with Trump is like feeding the alligator hoping he'll eat you last. It will never work."
