The Trump disaster
This whole Trump thing could be an impending disaster. Just like 1992 and 1996. Trump too like Perot is pig headed and full of himself. Like Perot, he's setting the table for a Clinton. If he doesn't win the GOP nomination, it doesn't matter who wins it, he's going 3rd party as Hillary's stooge. Personally, I will vote Constitution or Libertarian Party if he does somehow win our nomination. The Tea Party, libertarians, and the GOP establishment need to find common ground and pick someone agreeable to all. Then we need to politically destroy trump even though he's a billionaire so that he's to weak to run third party and too damaged by gaffes like debate and post debate to even be considered by more than a 1% fringe. Thursday night was a great start.
'sno disaster for the Democrats, Trump is like a gift from heaven. The longer he maintains a lead in the polls, the more the voters are going to be convinced the Republican Party is fucked up!
What you don't get is that the republican party of today, is like the democrat party of the late '60's, In '68 they took steps to rid itself of the radical religious element that moderated them somewhat.
they migrated to the republican party just in time to help elect Reagan who invited them into the party with open arms not realizing that their radical positions will result in a fractured party that cannot win elections just like the democrats had back then.
It was one of the biggest mistakes he made to gain a coalition that he didn't need.
AS long as we allow the fundamentalists to run the party, we won't win anything. and we shouldn't win anything.
We are better off with a socialist in charge than a religious fundamentalist.
Socialists are absolutists on a much smaller scale that religious fundamentalists are.
You want a dictatorship? elect a fundamentalist.
you can vote however you like, but it won't change a damn thing until you actually get involved with the party and change it from within.
It is what this nation was founded upon.
