Donald Trump is remarkably dangerous to the Republican Party..Here's why.
The Washington Post
February 28, 2016
As it's become more and more clear that Donald Trump is the odds-on favorite to be the Republican presidential nominee, there's been considerable speculation about what he could mean for the broader GOP, particularly as the party tries to hold it's Senate majority and consolidate it's House margins in the 2016 election.
The answer: Nothing good - and perhaps something very bad.
While Trump's hard-line immigration policy,
(send 'em back. build a wall. make Mexico pay for it etc)
has caused most of the hand-wringing within establishment GOP circles, the real danger for the likes of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis) is not in that single issue.
It's in Trump's remarkable unpredictability and seeming willingness to say things for the sake of shock value, and then inexplicably stand behind them -- in fiercely unapologetic ways.
Trump's performance on the Sunday talk shows is indicative of this tendency.
