It’s not just that Reagan’s “11th Commandment” (don’t attack fellow GOPers) is dead; the Trump phenomenon has kicked a full-scale Republican Civil War into high gear.

Addressing reporters at a breakfast on Monday, Paul Manafort, Mr. Trump’s de facto campaign manager, accused Mr. Kasich of acting “petulant” for refusing to support Mr. Trump following the governor’s defeat in the Republicans’ presidential nominating process.

“He’s embarrassing his party in Ohio,” Mr. Manafort said of Mr. Kasich, calling the governor’s chief political strategist the culprit behind Mr. Kasich’s strategy of not endorsing Mr. Trump. “Negotiations broke down because John Weaver thinks that John Kasich will have a better chance to be president by not supporting Donald Trump.”
 Such a calculation, Mr. Manafort said, is “a dumb, dumb, dumb thing.”

    When will the Trump party defectors be called out, and face the fate they all fear from Donald Trump?…
    I have seen this happen before, and it is nauseating to witness….

    Team Trump has a very simplistic, almost cartoonish view of the world:
    If you support Donnie, then you are a winner and a credit to your profession … whereas if you chose not to support him, then you are clearly a loser and a total disgrace.

    To support right to carry outside this event might suggest the Ohio governor could give a rat’s behind and it’s every man/ woman for themselves after you leave the stadium
