Considering it more harmful than good.
This shake up, weirdly enough, is not something the RNC will be celebrating. Trump is quickly closing off his support channel to the party apparatus.
This is the very definition of a human tire fire.

In a way Hillary is the perfect person to run against him because of what she's already had to deal with, but if Trump has one talent it's manipulation, and if no one puts a massive effort into calling out his lies and manipulations he can just say whatever he wants and people either buy it or are intimidated by it.
We have to be smart, strong, and GET OUT THE VOTE.

(10,857 posts)I think others here at DU are correct when they observe that what Trump is actually doing is founding a television network based a cave's worth of pure batshittery. I take particular note of Michael Moore's observation that Trump's campaign was effectively founded as a negotiating tool to get more money for his stupid reality show.
When NBC cut the rope on him, Trump took his act on the road, and discovered yet another way to get others to pay for his terrible ideas. That seems to be his only real talent.
he will continue to cull the marks he has on his line now, run against the entire establishment, keep a lot of his war chest until after the election to establish the trump party (in name or otherwise or other form) and then find a way to open the spiggots to this personal accounts from that.

Pence called himself "Rush Limbaugh on decaf" since he considered himself politically conservative while not as outspoken as Limbaugh.[15] The show was syndicated by Network Indiana and aired weekdays 9 a.m. to noon (ET) on 18 stations throughout the state, including WIBC in Indianapolis.[16] From 1995 to 1999, Pence also hosted a weekend political talk show out of Indianapolis.[
