He is certainly shaking up the GOP and exposing their failures. And he has made a lot of people very nervous because he’s brash and a bit of a loose cannon.
Make no mistake about it, the GOP is working hard to un-do his candidacy. They hate him and will use every trick in the book to trip him up. It will be a viscous counter-attack that brings all the money and power the GOP can muster. They want him out of there because the party will have no control over him if he should become president. He refuses to play by their rules.
I hope Trump can withstand the oncoming assault of the GOP’s political operatives, but I doubt it.
We saw the test case in Ronald Reagan. They hated him too. George Bush was slotted for the 1980 election, and Reagan rained on their parade, BIG TIME.
The party can control a lot. If we’re talking Walker or Cruz, it could manipulate things, and I’m not saying that to put Walker or Cruz down. I’m just being frank about how I see it. The party can’t manipulate things after a populist has already ignited a bonfire of support across party, ethnic, and gender boundaries.
The GOPe is absolutely helpless at this point.
They know it too.
They will continue to prove it’s desperation time, but that’s their only contribution from here on out.
It’s actually over. If Trump wants it, the Presidency is his, for better or worse.
“It will be a viscous counter-attack “
Things will get sticky!
