To Those Who Think Trump Will Self-Destruct Before November, I Say: You Might Be Right...BUT

You might be right, but be careful what you wish for. You just may GET it!

The old BAIT AND SWITCH routine is one of the most successful business tricks. Only this time it will work in reverse. Instead of going to the Chevy dealer in 1984 looking for the $5000 Corvette Stingray that was advertised, only to find it's been sold, but the dealer is offering big discounts on any of a dozen butt-ugly Chevettes he can't get rid of....the exact opposite will happen. We'll go to the election in November expecting to face an orange-haired rutting orangutan, who couldn't find a rational fact with both hands and a flashlight, only to find he's had to resign over tax-return scandals, and been replaced by his Party-leveraged running mate Paul Ryan.

So, be careful folks. We don't want Donald Trump to implode TOO soon. We want THIS GUY'S mugg to be on the split screen next to the Democratic candidate during the debates!

to pick Ryan as VP candidate...and then, once he's done that, go after Trump with everything they've got to force him to quit. (Up to, and including BRIBING him, which I think would work just fine. Get Adleson and the Kochs to put up $200,000,000 each to bribe Trump to quit.) Then Ryan becomes the nominee, picks his own running mate, and it's a whole new game.

That would be the ULTIMATE 'stop Trump' trick.

We need to focus on our nominee winning, instead of hoping theirs loses.

...for the last 10 years has been: "We don't have to do anything. Don't have to reform the Party at all. Just have faith that people will see how insane the Republicans have become, and they'll elect US..."

Worked great in 2010 and 2014, and in all the State races.... *Sigh*

After all, all they lose is a little bit of home team pride.

Getting rid of trump could cost them their downline. Having Trump will cost them the presidency. What a soap opera. Not gonna lie. I am looking forward to seeing how all this drama unfolds. It's sick, isn't it? 😆

And no one would accuse them of that....they'd replace Trump with Huntsman. But they're not smart so there's that.
