Republican leaders are falling into Trump's trap.

[kentuck]

They are foolish.

They believe they can keep him under control when he is not in power and they will be able to use his popularity to take control of both Houses of Congress. They are mistaken. He will divide them the way he divides everyone else in his life. He will split them like a piece of wood on the chopping block.

They will not remain united under a Donald Trump with even less controls than he has presently. He could give a big rat's ass about the Republican Party.

He has his followers. Let them get theirs. Either you will be with Donald or you will be in a minority Party. That will be their only choice. Do they want to be a member of the Trump Party or do they want to pretend to be a member of the Republican Party?

1. Good points you make, He will divide them the way he divides everyone else, to OUR benefit.

2. The GOP has sold itself out AGAIN!

Cheaper every time!

3. It's all he knows how to do.

They’ll be little more than kindling when he’s done with them.

4. Light 'em up, Phoenix!!

5. You got it right about the dividing their party.

In the division at odds over the voter base their party will destroy itself from within. There is no either or. It has been a very long time coming. And thats it in a nut shell. Happy Thanksgiving. !

6. This is the most plausible outcome...and well stated!

7. Agreed, it will be divided by Trump's "Know-Nothing"...

... party and the old GOP.

And when they say they know nothing, they really mean it!
