The Republican Party’s immune system — which once fought off David Duke and Pat Buchanan with relative ease — is completely failing.
Decades of serving their base a toxic blend of white-identity politics and ridiculous promises — spiced with a paranoia that instructs them not to trust anyone who doesn’t tell them exactly what they want to hear — has left the right-wing army of older, angrier, whiter men vulnerable to an interloping con artist with a powerful sense of how to get inside his marks’ brains. And because Donald Trump tells the GOP base exactly what they want to hear, every attempt to signal his danger to the the Republican Party — and the nation — sounds like a “nattering nabob of negativism.”
The Trump virus arrives at the worst possible time for the GOP elite. On the whole, conservatism is on the rise, controlling not only both houses of Congress but more state legislatures than at any time since before the Great Depression. And with the American public rarely willing to give one party more than three consecutive terms in the White House, they have a real chance to elect a president who could set the course of the Supreme Court for decades.

Hillary will win because the Republicans are such a mess. She will get kicked out in four years when the Republicans wise up.
One more thing that's never ever happened before.Enough to keep even the political experts scratching their heads.There will be rioting just as Trump said if our will is denied.That we do know.
Nope, Hillary wins. The country loses. Becomes totally socialist in the next twenty years. I don't care, as a Republican, if Trump loses. I will be retired and on the new socialist dole and bankrupting the country. When the young people regret and realize what they have done for their future, I will be dead. Therefore I don't care if Hillary wins and Trump loses.
