When are the GOP finally going to bail on Trump? Have they lost their minds? Look at him.

It's not even an issue of any specific policy. He's a madman melting down, ranting and raving.

How could anyone, even if you felt this guy was closer to you in policy (and he has none), feel that this guy should lead the country?

It's too late for GOP to save their skins/seats, but they could still kill this candidacy, ensure that he will lose by so much that the danger of his idiots rioting and killing people is diminished.

He's a fascist. Look at him for Christ's sake. Can't they see the danger?

They're really going to stay with him just for their stupid seats? This is so much bigger than that.

And cultivating these people as an integral part of their coalition. Now the monster they created turned on them and they have a candidate who isn't smart enough or doesn't care enough to speak in code. That's why they are screwed.

But the tea party crowd got to the dance as antiestablishment and simply cant change partners... but clearly McCain and other senior GOP members get it.
