While Donald Trump won't be the GOP nominee, reclaiming the party from Trump still requires that we contemplate what a Trump nomination and even possibly a Trump presidency would look like. The picture isn't a pretty one. One of the under appreciated aspects is how any electoral success by Trump in the primaries and potentially the general election could spawn a bonanza for the GOP's much-despised consultant class, at the expense of the party's ability to field principled and/or successful statewide and national candidates.
The reason for this is fairly straightforward: Trump is the avatar of the clueless-rich-guy style of candidate that is the absolute favorite target of consultants. Oh, the consultants working for other candidates right now would be, momentarily, upset if Trump won the nomination; the're hired guns, but they do like to win. And consultants for Senate and House Republicans would be dismayed for a while by how a Trump nomination would cost the GOP Senate and House seats and make Chuck Schumer the Senate Majority Leader. But there's always another campaign season.

ROFL - pure horse feces
Yada, yada, yada.
Even moreso than Romney, this describes Trump to a T – a candidate who has never lifted a finger to help conservatives or Republicans, who has donated copiously to leading Democrats like Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer and the Clintons throughout the Obama years, who has until very, very recently (at age 69) been pro-choice and a supporter of gun control and big government, who even in this campaign has proposed massive tax hikes and spoken warmly of single-payer healthcare – but who has abruptly decided that his stance on immigration (itself a brand-new change from his past positions) qualifies him to be a Republican presidential contender.
Thanks Homo RedState and Erick Erickson. I don’t know what I would have done without your divine commentary.
Please do not throw me in the briar patch.
“While Donald Trump won’t be the GOP nominee, reclaiming the party from Trump still requires that we contemplate what a Trump nomination and even possibly a Trump presidency would look like.”
ROTFL!!
You really don’t mind people thinking you’re as stupid and childish as this idiot?
Figured some Trumpite head spinning and vomit spewing would be a good way to end the night.
I pretty much stopped at the first sentence, but I will comment on the title:
It seems they are now reduced to trying to use REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY on us by telling us the people we despise will make out like bandits with Trump. Fat chance that works.
This is getting LAUGHABLE.
“Figured some TDS head spinning and vomit spewing would be a good way to end the night.”
Fixed it.
Well, at least until God finally gets fed up with us, drops the hammer, and there isn't.
Yet he has 34,000 jobs attributed to him and over 22,400 employees with $9.5 billion in revenue last year.
Yep, Trump is completely clueless.
Dumb-ass article by a dumb-ass author.
Bingo!
“Trump is the avatar of the clueless-rich-guy style of candidate that is the absolute favorite target of consultants.”
Third rate third grade blog.
". . . field principled and/or successful statewide and national candidates."
Like the "principled" hogs now in office the majority of whom swore they'd stop King Barry in his tracks ?
You know, the same ones who just passed His Majesty King Barry's budget without a peep, and that in an election year when they like to dust off their principles and show them off.
Cheez, they've thrown everything but the kitchen sink but now they think someone will be worried that Trump being elected would cause a shortage of the same hogs and cowards already running the show.
Smells like desperation.
Trump hasn’t paid for any polls or hired any consultants and laughs about them.
The reverse is true.
Trump has proved the consultant class = morons.
Look at the 400 million Rove blew to get nothing. Trump mocks them.
You really don’t mind people thinking you’re as stupid and childish as this idiot?Don't really care either way...
Let me just say that I was right about Romeny. I was right about McCain. I tried to warn people here. But - with no surprises - I was blasted every time by Romneybots and McCainiacs. I was right about Dole too (but FR wasn't around back then).
This type of article just makes me laugh with reassurance that Trump is precisely the enema the GOP needed. I haven't felt this good about the country's political situation since Reagan's days.
Every one of those consultants will be paid less than before, because they are incapable of understanding the entirety of the voting population this cycle and beyond.
It really shows, all the more, when this stupid author leads with his opening phrase, “While Donald Trump won't be the GOP nominee...”
You, and this guy, are completely clueless!
