Problem is, if they try to disqualify Trump at the convention they run the risk of a 3rd Party candidate or the certainty that a lot of DT supporters will not only abandon the GOP, they will actively turn against it.

Agreed. My point was they had time to do what they did to Obama with obstructing and blocking…a long time ago. They did it for 7+ years, they could have done it for 7 months.

They didn’t because they know their party is losing more and more support in this country so they open the door to whoever they can attract. That is why they invited in the Tea Party types. It is why they went with Trump.

They obviously thought they could control Trump and then use some of the voters he was attracting. They wanted to use him like they use the Tea Party. But, they haven’t controlled the Tea Party…it is why they have Trump. And they thought no one would ever buy into the Trump crazy. They forgot the Tea party types would buy in and now hold the party hostage and have them bent over ready for the big Trumping they are going to get.

It is all Republican arrogance. Not a one of them lives in the real world as they have missed the reality of the crazy base the whole time. Trump identified that he could use the Tea Party types and he has. And here we are.

When history is written it will be the Obama election that caused the Republicans to go crazy to where they couldn’t think straight or govern. A real lesson in bigotry and how it causes people to be really dumb because of race.
