Well, the next 28 days will be interesting, to say the least. Donald Trump started this morning with an attack on Paul Ryan:
Despite winning the second debate in a landslide (every poll), it is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!

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

And then he just basically declared war on the rest of the GOP:
It is so nice that the shackles have been taken off me and I can now fight for America the way I want to.

With the exception of cheating Bernie out of the nom the Dems have always proven to be far more loyal to each other than the Republicans!

Update. He added this tweet after we published the original post:
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!

Wait, he hasn’t been himself up until now? Gird your loins, everyone.
Here’s some of the early reaction from politicos on Twitter:
