For GOP Trump Is Like Juggling Viles Of Nitroglycerin.Only A Matter Of Time Before One Is Dropped.

I am sure a lot of the GOP establishment is living in primal fear about what Trump will do or say next. He makes loose cannons seem stable. So far all of his political meandering and screw ups have not fatally wounded his campaign. If we were in mid October right now then he probably is a cooked goose. At this point though one worries that it is still pretty early in the process.

Besides the media will do all it can to save him. And the media will run cover as long as far as it can. But you cannot cover continuing disaster without damaging your own brand completely.

Still the metaphor fits and the question is how long can the nitreo be juggled. The GOP has to more or less support Trump and hope. Even if he quits they are still in a pickle. If he stays they are still in a pickle because HE IS THEIR CANDIDATE no matter what.

The only thing they can do now is look on in horror as the lunatics unleashed by the great GOP implosion wreak havoc on their party and country.
