How do you solve a problem like The Donald?
That question is currently consuming the minds (and fueling the nightmares) of leading Republican power brokers.
And you gotta have some sympathy for their plight.
Actually, I take that back. It's entirely possible to have nothing but schadenfreude for what the GOP is going through. There is certainly a chickens-coming-home-to-roost character to Donald Trump's meteoric rise in the polls over the past couple of weeks. This is a party, after all, that has spent close to the entirety of the Obama administration stoking right-wing populism, encouraging conspiracy theories about the president and his policies, and deploying wildly irresponsible rhetoric about the dire threats posed to the nation by mainstream members of the Democratic Party. Trump's campaign, which is powered almost entirely by demagogic bluster and insults, is a kind of apotheosis of the party's strategy these past several years.

Attack the messenger. Trump put illegal immigration front and center. The bosses of both parties are pooping in their Depends. Trump cannot be punked by reporters. People of both parties like that.
Trump is the most hated candidate since 1980. The attacks on him remind me of Regan getting it from both sides. Regan was a reformed Democrat.
Cruz is needed to replace Ginsburg or Breyer.
We are an angry conservative base. That part is dead on.
They don’t know what to do is right. They need to imitate Trump.
He is not a conservative
“The last vestiges of America,Conservatives,and we are the problem,if that is true we are done”
If you want to save America, you have to go into coalition with white working class Democrats. There are globalists here who hate them worse than they hate Valerie Jarrett (true dat).
I was referring to liberals and the media, but did not manage to get that across..sorry!
“He is not a conservative”
And neither is any other GOP candidate. Each of them sells out America and Americans in one way or another.
I have long been grateful to spittle-lipped liberals like this one, who tell me all I need to know, usually with the first sentence of what they say, and sometimes, even in the first few words.
This thing made me read through four sentences before I knew where it was going.
Just beautiful.
