We've known about the GOPe for a long time. The 2012 election in particular was an ugly refresher course. Something does need to be done to get the country back on track - I believe Ted Cruz is the best choice for the job we have today. That anyone can believe that Trump is more honest than Cruz baffles me - the power of the press triumphs again.
Trump's problems are manifold. Both his past and present behavior is unacceptable for a POTUS. He demonstrates very limited intellectual grasp. His emotions are mercurial and childish. He's changed his positions on so many issues over just the last few years anyone can find one to like - the question is what he'll actually do if and when he's elected. Remember, he's not beholden to anyone, including the voters.
If he ends up the nominee, I'll hold my nose and vote for him, given the alternative. It's just a sad spectacle the way this election is going, this should have been the chance to replace 0 with a good man. I absolutely hope that, if elected, Trump will surprise me and turn out to be the president his devotees are hoping for...the country absolutely needs to turn in the right direction.
It is very fortunate that Hillary will likely be his opponent, against her he has a chance...otherwise we'd likely be toast. If the Republicans manage to displace Trump when he should have been the nominee, Hillary will very likely win anyhow, when he runs third party.
Your entire post employs a busloiad of straw men.
