The Republican Establishment has a choice, perhaps a very hard choice, to make, and make quickly.

When it comes to The Donald, should he stay or should he go? If he should stay, a LOT of realignment of thought and priorities is in order, and it will be painful, at the minimum. But if The Donald gets the boot from the Establishment, then they have made a very dangerous enemy, as The Donald is not at all averse to punishing those of whom may have tried to snooker him on a deal.

The Donald does not bluff. He has proved this over and over, sometimes dealing from less than full strength, but willing to risk what to outsiders appears to be economic oblivion. He not only makes promises about what he intends to do, he keeps those promises, and if you get bloodied and knocked to the curb, then you are just going to either be a lot smarter the next time, or there is no next time.

The ultimate Type A personality.

Donald is first and foremost a businessman. Good for him.

Right now that works in our favor, but I'm afraid it could just as easily work against what we'd all like to see happen in DC.

I'd like to see what his principles are made of - what he really believes - before I decide whether I want him for president.

“When it comes to The Donald, should he stay or should he go? If he should stay, a LOT of realignment of thought and priorities is in order,..”

Would you please specify what you by ‘realignments of thought and priorities’?

The Donald is just a catalyst. This rift, this contradiction in the party has been growing for years and he's just brought it to a head.

The only painless path out for the Establishment is that The Donald implodes. That's why so many were willing to push him in front of what was assumed to be a freight train of media condemnation.

The peasants are revolting, and shooting them isn't yet an option. Their votes are needed.
