He's been on a tear lately, saying stupid things, offending everyone, and embarrassing the Republican establishment. Paul Ryan actually called some of his comments racist. He was right, but wow! The Senate Majority Leader actually went on national television and slammed his party's presumptive presidential nominee for being racist?!?! And Trump's response was to tell Ryan to "just be quiet." This whole thing is bizarre and unprecedented. It seems like the campaign is in disarray, the candidate has no self-control, the big donors want nothing to do with any of it, and we're not even past the convention! Anyway, I wouldn't be too surprised if the RNC gave up on winning the Presidency this year and jettisoned Trump in a desperate bid to protect their congressional and gubernatorial candidates.
That said, I can't see Ted Cruz getting the nod. Maybe Kasich? That would be something. Greatest slow-play in history.
I think I have figured out why you on the left don't like Trump.You're use to wimpy Republicans who don't fight back politically and always get pushed around by the Democrats politically and yet Trump fights back politically. It might surprise you to know but many on the right have been disgusted with the wimpyness on the right where the Republicans can have a majority in the House and Senate and have a Republican President and they still get pushed around by the Democrat Party and conservatives get nothing election after election.Well many of us and have been hoping for a leader who fights back just as hard as the Democrats,liberal media,etc do and that is Donald Trump.
He is not a wimp politically,you hit him? And he hits you back even harder politically.So although Trump may have left a bad taste in your mouth many of us see what we have been hoping for and waiting on, to finally have a fighter.Trump is nice,but if you attack him? He hits you back harder and we've needed this on the right in politics.No more political correctness either.So we just don't have a wimpy Republican now and he will fight back if\ when he is attacked politically and I love it. The left is getting back what they've been doing politically to those on the right for years.
