t's time to think about what has previously been in the realm of the unthinkable: Donald Trump might just become the Republican nominee for president. Two months ago, that statement would have elicited nothing but a big old belly laugh from just about anyone who pays any attention to politics. Nowadays, though, nobody's laughing. The very concept has moved from the surreal to the possible. So it's time to actually think about what it would mean for the country and for the Republican Party.
Trump, we were all assured by the inside-the-Beltway media crowd, was going to be nothing more than an entertaining sideshow. His "support," such as it was, would soon collapse, after Trump said something so outrageous that it drove people away. Trump would be a flash in the pan, and then we could all go back to contemplating the Republican candidates who easily met the inside-the-Beltway crowd's measure of being "Very Serious People." Trump would quietly fade away as the real Republican race got underway.

But this quote shows what the Republicans think of us...
"Trump, we were all assured by the inside-the-Beltway media crowd, was going to be nothing more than an entertaining sideshow."
I thought they weren’t going to cover Trump?
Why is it unthinkable?
I would think the leftists at HuffPo would love the idea, would be cheering and thumping their chests in delirium.
Everyone hates Trump, don’t they?
Why he’d be easy meat for Hilliary Clinton - the smartest woman in the world - to dispose of.
He might stop the invasion & that would stop the democratic plan to flood the nation with a 100 year voting block. That’s all this is about.
It’s too late to stop the invasion. That already happened.
This article us pure entertainment obviously, but in that spirit I am most certainly amused. Trump is #1. Deal with it.
Trump won’t get the nomination. Remember, the GOPe controls the process. How the primaries go doesn’t matter, it only matters how the convention goes.
Trump is viewed as a much bigger threat
The queen “B” atch is in trouble.
They can smell it.
Im pulling for a Cruz - Lee ticket.
But to actually have Trump in the White House?
DANG!
I would laugh at every TWIGTE sour faced `rat and tell em “Yeah, didn’t see THAT one coming, did ya!”
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
.
Can’t you see little head-stones around that with DNC, RNC, GOPe, and the words “torrist” and “Leftist Media” on them?
LOL
Yup....I was doing national radio about this issue as far back as 1989. There was no will then or now to stop it.
RE: #8
Remember the 1980 convention with Reagan.
Sometimes things happen for a reason.......
Maybe from the blinkered members of the MSM and the Beltway inhabitants, but no belly laughs from those who actually understood the concerns of the citizens of the US, concerns that have been ignored for years by DC politicians.
Oh the unthinkable, much rather have an anti american imposter and a crew of islamic infultrators liberal radicals, communists socialists and globalists who want nothing more than to muddy the American waters with illegals kill the economy kill the middle class and kill our children possibility of a better life. f them! The media are nothing but toilet scum
There is a wild card that no one is envisioning which practically gives the nomination to Trump. That wild card is the economy. The odds are that the Q2 gdp numbers are going to start rolling in and they are going to be very bad. Most likely we will get a negative number signaling the start of a recession.
Additionally, the markets are ripe for a monster correction. The DOW Transports are majorly headed in the tank as they already have. Some are projecting a better that 50% correction in the markets.
These two items a recessionary economy and crashing markets will give Trump all he needs to seal the deal. He will point out that what he has been saying over the last several months has been correct. The politicians are the worst negotiators and have given the country away and have so ruined it that it is collapsing in every way.
If this comes to pass a collapsing economy and market Trump will have made his point and while politicians are going to lecture everyone that things need to be done, Trump will actually start doing them while he is still campaigning.
Yeah, the MSM has tried just about every imaginable BS angle to spin the economy as good. No one buys it, except maybe those who get paid by the government.
Exactly, was this posted in the entertainment section of the Huffpo?
No - the unthinkable is President Hillary Clinton.
If Trump wins a clear majority of the sworn delegates before the convention, they cannot stop him.
See the Goldwater precedent of '64.
