In a strange way, if Trump actually wins the nomination, it's in the GOP's interest that he lose the general election. They are much better off with a Democrat they can vilify in the Oval Office than Trump, whom they would have to claim and whose fuck-ups they'd have to own -- at least while he's in office. No doubt, once he was gone they'd pull that magical amnesia act they're so good at (e.g., George W. Bush and Nixon) while scrambling to find someone to step up and make us all forget about the mess they created.
It's telling that the party is pinning its hopes on that callow, empty suit Rubio. A Trump nomination is the kiss of death for them, and Cruz isn't much better despite the fact that he's the one who most seems to be an ideological descendant of Reagan. That more than anything makes me laugh. These fuckers are still fellating the distorted memory they have of their great idol Ronnie, but many of them are horrified at the thought of that slimy fuck, Cruz, getting the nomination, even though he is the Republican most likely to declare ketchup a fucking vegetable to cut down on costs for school lunch programs while shoveling more money into unneeded "defense" spending and additional tax breaks for the very wealthy. Aside from a few bumper sticker nostrums they've all learned to recite, as a party they don't really know their own minds anymore. Their big tent was always something of a fiction, but this election is starkly revealing just what a sham it is.
