Trump is sending a strong message to the GOP...

[kentuck]

If they try to screw him, he will take his supporters and leave them to fend for themselves. It would be an automatic loss - perhaps the House and Senate also?

Shit is getting serious over there. It's almost like a "political revolution" going on? No surprise that Paul Ryan doesn't want anything to do with them this time around.

How long before Reince Preibus is let go? Before or after the upcoming debacle in Cleveland?

It's a long and winding road that knows no turns.

Let them destroy themselves.

3. Fuck 'em....

It's about time all of their brinksmanship came home to roost.

Welcome to the Kobayashi Maru, Republicans.

5. by now, i think the GOP is gambling that Trump leaving is better for their survival as a party

Trump is so fucking toxic that if he runs at the top of the ticket, the Democrats are pretty much guaranteed significant down-ticket wins. Trump's GOP will be declared DOA and splinter into 2 or 3 lesser parties more suited to direct representation of their multiple specific forms of bigotry and plutocracy. one of these splinters will still nominally be the Republican party, but it will no longer be able to house its coalition of racists and power brokers that solidified under Reagan.

if Trump gets the nomination yanked out from under him, i expect he'll try to continue into the general as an independent candidate. due to massive institutional incompetence, he won't be on the ballots in half the states. his supporters will desert the GOP, but the oligarchs are gambling that they'll come back in 2-4 years out of a sense of political necessity and Fox News. of course 2016 will be a massive electoral disaster for them, but there is a chance their party can recover from it.

6. The mood of the Country

has switched in recent weeks. Trump is in total death spiral,and is acting out like the real person he is. And that being a Dyslectic Narcissistic Frat Boy. Has anyone seen any stories about his loosing his NLRB case at his Las Vegas Hotel Condo and failing to implement the SEIU contract mandated via the Courts. Not. You won't find it in the Corporate News,found it in a Labor Friendly News online version.

Here in Nevada,the Rethugs are a bit nervous,at stake,three Congressional Seats and One Senate Seat that at this time are going to flip. The key will be the Bundy Militia trials scheduled for early September,and if a couple of State Congressional office holders are subpoenaed to testify.

Interesting times my friends.
