This could be interesting and I would like to hear your take on it. For me, this Trump vs GOP debate seems the best thing happening to American politics in a long time, since even politicians start to think or pinch their noses.
Two things can happen, Abs. You have to understand that the GOP does not consider Trump to be a republican. He's a loose cannon with a big mouth who has out maneuvered them with the party base that they worked diligently to build.
1. They will succeed in some sort of "Stop Trump" move at the convention by changing the convention rules so that delegates do not have to vote for Trump on the first ballot. WTF knows what would happen then. The Drumpfucks would lose what is left of their minds.
2. They will fail to change the rules and be stuck with the orange baboon which means that they will be in serious danger of losing control of the senate - a fact which scares the shit out of them because they could not stop President Clinton's appointments. The House is the random element. They have successfully gerrymandered districts across the country but that still requires republicunts to vote and if the Drumpfucks are pissed at the way their hero is being treated who knows what they will do.
In the meantime watching them melt down is marvelous.
