Also this analysis:

For the professional Republicans they don’t actually care if they win or lose.

If the hierarchy, the professional political class, within the republican party loses an election to Democrats it’s only a lost election; they are still there, and still comfortable even in the minority.

However, if the hierarchy within the republican party loses an election to Conservatives, they are out of a job.

Big Government Democrats and Republicans are the professional political class.

Wall Street, The CoC, et al win so long as they get either Hillary or Jeb. They’ll spend what ever blillions are needed to get the election to that end.

Conservatives are already viewed by Republicans as a third party. Why do we resist it so much?

Lastly, this from Sundance back in July:

Why I Support Donald Trump’s Campaign – And It’s Probably Not What You Think…

I am not convinced that Trump actually wants to be President, but these 3 analyses by Sundance merit serious our deliberation...

Zactly. I'm still reeling from the post on “Fix Is In” Rove strategy as to how to win Jeb the nomination with the least forward effort possible.

Is this why the debate season was shortened by the RNC by nearly six months?

In ‘12, the debates began in MARCH. And there were a lot more of ‘em.

Trump may just be Rove’s worst nightmare. In 2004, Rove’s worst nightmare was a bipartisan ticket with McCain and Kerry (you read that right. That was in the works for a hot minute in May of 2004, and when McCain/Kerry outpolled Bush Cheney (both non veterans) by 15 points.

Trump running as GOP is nearly as much of a strategic nightmare as the potential McCain/Kerry ticket was for Rove, because Trump can pick up tons of disillusioned Democrat votes.
