So it's the nightmare scenario. According to a new NBC, Wall Street Journal Poll, Donald Trump's, is now collapsing.

He's down 52% to 38% to Hillary Clinton in a two-way race. He's down 46% to 35% in a four-way race.

In the generic congressional ballot, Democrats now outstrip Republicans by 49 to 42.

Trump is not merely losing. He's dragging the entire

GOP down with him, just in time to hand complete power to Hillary Clinton and her Democratic

allies in the House of Senate. So well done, everyone. This is what happens when you nominate a

combination of Todd Aiken and Mark Foley to the presidency. In late August 2012, if you recall,

Missouri Senate at Todd Aiken made comments

about a local radio show on a local radio show about rape and abortion. The comments made him

a national laughing stock. Republicans across the nation immediately cut ties. They sacrificed

to Senate seat in an attempt to prevent the electoral infection from spreading. In the end,

Republicans lost just two seats in the Senate and eight seats in the House. In September 2006, Representative Mark Foley of Florida was caught in a scandal involving

sexual liaisons with congressional pages. Republicans again attempted to distance themselves,

this time far too late. Republicans lost 30 seats in the House and control of the chamber to Nancy

Pelosi and her radical Democrats. Now, imagine if Todd Aiken or

Mark Foley had been running for president. And imagine if the Republicans had then insisted on tying

themselves to those candidates. That's right now. Donald Trump knows this election is over.

Everybody knows this election is over, except for a few demented people over at Breitbart

News. But they're clinging to an alternative reality anyway. Sorry to be depressing, folks. This is the truth. It's a reality in which Trump could still win, but only if everybody stays loyal to him and talks about how great he is. Trump's debate performance gives him just enough credibility that Republicans will stay in line. He tossed red meat at Republicans and they're eating it up. Republican officials who continue to defect will be punished by people

who think they're defecting because they're too weak need to attack Hillary Clinton. That's why

Paul Ryan got booed after refusing to invite Donald Trump to an event on Saturday the day after

news of the blank tape broke, the P-word tape broke. Here's Robert Cost of the Washington Post reporting
