I am thinking that, at this point, some Republicans may not want Trump to win. They are probably thinking that he will screw up so badly that it will make the Republican party look bad er rather, worse than it does now.
If Hillary wins, Republicans can continue doing what they've been doing, obstructing everything, then blaming anything that doesn't go well on Hillary and the Democrats. If Hillary stays in office for 8 years (or even 4), no matter what she does, a lot of people will think it's time for a change and vote Republican, as long as they nominate a half-reasonable person. (Please, not someone who wants to be Christian-in-Chief like Cruz, Santorum or Huckabee.)
I'm convinced Trump is mentally ill. But then, after all the hatred Obama had to put up with over the last 8 years, I question the sanity of anyone who wants to be president. No one has elephant hide strong enough for that.
“The problem with those who choose received Authority over fact and logic is how they choose which part of Authority to obey. The Bible famously contradicts itself at many points (I have never understood why any Christian would choose the Old Testament over the New), and the Koran can be read as a wonderfully compassionate and humanistic document. Which suggests that the problem of fundamentalism lies not with authority, but with ourselves.” ~Molly Ivins
