Is Donald Trump bankrupting the GOP?
…It would all be very amusing (especially the parts where he has easy solutions to all of our problems, such as: What to do with Libya? Take their oil!) if he weren’t so, well, Trumpish. By that I mean insufferable — and not just because he’s always the biggest bloviator — but because he sized up a political situation and figured out how to exploit it. Like a business deal.
The reasoning is as follows: I need to run for president. I need to find a way to get my numbers up in the polls. (Immediately!) So I need to find an instant base of support. And where is that? Among the anti-establishment GOP wing, some of whom are Obama haters, willing to believe just about anything, but most of whom just want to stick it to the regular GOP folks who have betrayed the cause.
