How Donald Trump destroyed the Republican Party in 2015

[malthaussen]

2. True, Trump and Sanders have energized the miscreants.

The difference is that in the Democratic party, the radicals have had a long practice of swallowing their desires and yanking the lever for the lesser of evils, whereas the radicals in the GOP have been pushing their party around since they found voice, and are not used to sitting down and shutting up. So it is conceivable that the GOP would face a mutiny if they anointed a candidate not preferred by the majority, whereas the Democratic party faithful will just hold their noses and mutter, like a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, "Just wait 'til next year." Or next election, as may be.
