Donald Trump launches war on Paul Ryan, slams Republican Party
Everett Rosenfeld | @Ev_Rosenfeld
Donald Trump attacked House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republicans who he claimed had been "disloyal" to him in a series of defiant Tuesday morning Twitter messages.
The tweets come in the wake of the Friday publication of a 2005 video showing Trump making crude comments about women, appearing to brag about groping them. Although Trump apologized and has flatly refused to drop out, a number of GOP luminaries announced they could no longer support their nominee.
On Monday, Ryan said he would no longer defend Trump through the last month of the general election campaign — but he neglected to rescind his endorsement of the New York businessman.
In the messages, Trump said "the shackles" had now been removed, and he hit Ryan and other Republicans for disloyalty. The GOP nominee painted those elements of his own party as more of an impediment to a victory than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton — analysis that could well be correct if some portion of his base refuses to support him at the polls.

Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll)

Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan
, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.

Disloyal R's are far more difficult than Crooked Hillary. They come at you from all sides. They don’t know how to win - I will teach them!

Pundits have warned for some time that the Republican Party could be on the verge of a civil war.

A spokesman for the House speaker said, "Paul Ryan is focusing the next month on defeating Democrats, and all Republicans running for office should probably do the same."
As Trump attacked his fidelity, Ryan's own Twitter account posted a series of policy discussions on Tuesday morning.
During the primary season, Trump rose to prominence by attacking the "establishment" elements of his party, whom he painted as self-serving and unconcerned with the general populace's well-being. That populist tactic had seen less use, however, during the general election as Trump sought to win over moderate voters.
