As soon as the Republicans realize what a golden asset The Donald is, they shall be attaching themselves to The Donald’s coat tails, and the prospects for the down-ticket may very well be much improved, in the House, the Senate, in the state governors’ offices, and the various legislatures across the land. This could go all the way down to local politics in many cases.

This may turn out to be a very historic “tipping point”, much like the election of FDR in 1932 (which led to the New Deal and a vast extension of the Great Depression), or the upset victory of Eisenhower in 1952 (which led to the greatest period of postwar recovery and expansion this nation has ever seen).
