Private memo lays out how the GOP would deal with Trump as its nominee
Source: Washington Post
Donald Trump has become such a force in the Republican Party that the official overseeing next year’s Senate races has proposed a delicate strategy for GOP candidates: tap into Trumpism without mimicking Trump.
In a seven-page, confidential memo that imagines Trump as the party’s nominee, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee urges candidates to adopt many of Trump’s tactics, issues and approaches — right down to adjusting the way they dress and how they use Twitter.
In the memo on the “Trump phenomenon,” NRSC executive director Ward Baker said Republicans should embrace his tough talk about China and “grab onto the best elements of [his] anti-Washington populist agenda.” Above all, they should appeal to voters as genuine and beyond the influence of special interests.
“Trump has risen because voters see him as authentic, independent, direct, firm, — and believe he can’t be bought,” Baker writes. “These are the same character traits our candidates should be advancing in 2016. That’s Trump lesson #1.”

There is SO MUCH wanton STUPID in this country. Why shouldn't it have a voice? It has managed to get a toehold in the two houses - all it needs is the White House to seal it's (and OUR) destiny.
You know...... Stopping to consider the consequences of giving Trump our military to wield, I honestly hope that we'll get forewarning as to when the first nuclear warheads might drop out of sub-space an detonate here. I'd like to be able to avail myself to the blast from one. What a fantastic last view to be enthralled by before I'm (or AS I'm) evaporated. 
Since the ONLY alternative would be to try avoiding that blast - and then the subsequent struggle to endure the fallout and contamination of the aftermath, I'd rather it be over in an instant.
Of course, KNOWING that some of our nukes are bursting over foreign soils at about that same time - we'll have the pleasure of hollering: TAKE THAT, YOU BASTARDS!!! WE'RE THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON THIS IRRADIATED PLANET, BY GOD!
Saluto al Douche!
