Nothing worse than a sore winner
SAN DIEGO Donald Trump could have taken a victory lap last week. Instead, he went on a grudge tour.
During his first big campaign swing since locking up the Republican presidential nomination, Trump went after an odd and seemingly random group of people Democrats and Republicans, famous and obscure. There seemed little to gain politically from the attacks, and his targets were linked by just one thing: Trump felt they had all done him wrong.
So he blasted Republicans who have yet to endorse him, including Jeb Bush, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Mitt Romney, who Trump said walks like a penguin. He declared that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton doesnt look presidential, and he went after her allies, especially Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), whom Trump continues to call Pocahontas even after being told the nickname is offensive. He mocked those protesting him and slammed reporters covering his candidacy.
During the four-day, four-state tour, Trump also went after people who were probably unknown to his supporters until he brought them up: Barbara Res, a former employee quoted in an article about his treatment of women, and U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is assigned to hear a fraud case against now-defunct Trump University.
Trumps cutting insults and simplistic attacks have been a hallmark of his candidacy, viewed by supporters as proof that he is fearless and willing to attack institutions from the Republican Party to the Vatican.

They've completely transformed from guard dog to lap dog. And wonder why their circulation/audience numbers plummet.

No fan of Bush here, in any way, but does Donny really expect an endorsement after all the nasty things he said about a former rival? I would tell him to go eff off.
