As we told you earlier, Donald Trump has declared war on the GOP and promises to campaign the way he’s always wanted to now that he’s free of his shackles.
NBC’s Chuck Todd tweeted that this could be a winning strategy for the GOP nominee:
There could be strategy behind Trump's burn it all down attitude. Turn folks off election, plummet turnout overall and become competitive

Yeah … that didn’t go over well with people from all sides of the political spectrum. For example, Breitbart’s Lee Stranahan:
I am honestly confused as to how you earn a living doing this. I knew more about politics when I worked at Access Hollywood https://t.co/7lRIf6JIXY

Former Jeb Bush adviser Tim Miller:
Or he could just be a man baby who didn't get his way and is throwing a tantrum. https://t.co/i3WOc6J00B

And from Daily Kos managing editor Barbara Morrill:
Oh, please. You've listened to him, you've followed him on twitter. You know he's unhinged. Put the lipstick away, @chucktodd https://t.co/1YXnjEl5MN

Everyone agrees!

Alternatively, he's a petty, retribution-minded man-child w/ no impulse control throwing another tantrum as he chokes away the election. https://t.co/kMZx1kpLwQ
