Watching The Republican Party Get Deliberately Blown Up By A Clown

Is Donald Trump trolling the GOP?

While it’s impossible to know what he’s thinking, the effects of Trump’s candidacy track the definition of a troll pretty well.

He’s infuriated Republican leaders by convincing a significant chunk of the primary electorate that he means what he says about immigration. The leaders are getting madder and madder because of the fix that puts them in: They can’t afford to let Trump make a mockery of the party, but they can’t openly rip their own voters for supporting him or try to tear him down publicly. If anything, that might trigger a pro-Trump backlash.
