Tom DeLay: Trump will 'tear the Republican party apart'

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/271437-tom-delay-trump-will-tear-the-republican-party-apart

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) warned that Donald Trump would "tear the Republican Party apart," suggesting he wouldn't back him if he won the nomination.

"I have to search my soul. I think he's very dangerous for the country, very dangerous for the party," the former Texas lawmaker said on MSNBC on Super Tuesday about whether he would support Trump.

"He will tear the Republican Party apart. If you listen to what he's saying, he wants to be king; he doesn’t want to be president.”

When MSNBC host Chris Matthews pressed, DeLay said he's looking for a "man of faith" with principles, and "Trump ain't it."

If Trump gets the nomination, the republicans are done and they know it.

but I'm starting to get suspicious of the attacks on Trump. Seems like they're up to something because they have to know this kind of thing helps him.
