[Trump has] so little regard for the unity or interests of his own party or is so clearly preparing to bring it down, like Samson at the temple of Dagon, if it doesn’t bend to his will.

Trump and his supporters will win the nomination and get slaughtered in the general election or they will lose the nomination and break the party apart. Either way, Trump will put Hillary in the White House. We will lose the Supreme Court, the Senate, perhaps even the House, and down ticket state offices without number.

Thus the Republican Party, the conservative movement, The Tea Party, ultimately our liberty and prosperity will all be sacrificed on the altar of Donald Trump's ego.

If the inconceivable happens, if Trump is actually elected president of the United States, we will shear away from any tether which remains to the Constitution and embark on a populist excursion into Donald Trump's ego. We will likely be cast into a severe economic recession or even depression as Trump mangles trade negotiations just as he has utterly mismanaged his campaign on the ground. Our vast federal bureaucracy will spin entirely out of control as Trump focuses ad hoc on small parts of it which strike his fancy and mismanages the rest. God knows what sort of Supreme Court Justices we will get, because Trump's midnight conversions on this and virtually every other important issue, is absolutely suspect and without plausible explanation. He will enrich one sector of the economy while he impoverishes another, all with detached connection to the Constitution and to representative government, but entirely at the whim of Donald Trump.

There is no need for any of us to sacrifice our self-respect for Donald Trump.

But when things go south, he'll just declare bankruptcy.

I find it very hard to take serious the predictions of a poster who lionizes a slaver, klansman and traitor who took up arms against the Constitution and was diametrically opposed to the tenets of a party he now claims to align himself with.

Spare me the rhetoric of states rights and battlefield tactician. It is not germane to the issue of whether Trump can succeed at what he claims he wishes to accomplish.
