Donald Trump is softening 'the base' up by smashing GOP wedge issues. He is softening them

up to vote democratic during the general if he doesn't win. People who follow Trump will be far apart from the GOP talking points and their version of history. Sure he is nuts on some issues and playing to the base's most basic instincts. But on some issues he is going right up against the GOP.

He's getting some of the most deluded folks on the planet to actually face up to the fact that W did not 'keep us safe', that indeed, he had culpability in the WTC attacks, thanks to ignoring multiple warnings from intelligence, that he lied us into a stupid war.

All things I never thought anyone on that side of things would ever admit.
