Many say the populist crazy talk is typical of the White House primaries, but Republican frontrunner Donald Trump's increasingly incendiary remarks are leading some conservatives to brand him a "fascist" and party rivals to ramp up attacks against him.
Most spectacularly, the real estate tycoon recently said he would support registering Muslims in a database, and insisted -- despite lacking any evidence -- he saw Arabs in New Jersey cheer when the Twin Towers fell on 9/11.
His stance has become so belligerent that voices are asking, even inside his party, whether he is committed to democratic values.
Republican experts are warning that Trump could do lasting damage to the GOP, and that his nomination in the party primaries would essentially hand the presidency to Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

(11,495 posts)If this isn't just another "reality show" for Trump. I think a fitting name might be "How the Donald destroyed the GOP". The GOP has a choice, try and take him down an limit the damage, which could could take years to undo, or leave him alone and see it all come down around them, and make the GOP a thin of the past.
If they take him down, and he runs independent, they lose, if they let him run, they lose. No matter what they allowed it to happen, and they will pay for it by losing in 2016, one way or the other.
