The GOP cannot stop Trump from exploiting them because their whole philosophy is based on business

people being absolutely without fault and capitalism perfection itself when unleashed to exploit in all areas of humanity, including politics. If they go after Trump for say trying to get some rich followers by having events in Connecticut where he has no chance of winning, they would be admitting to the world that a businessman using politics to his own ends is not fair, or a good thing. I'm guessing that is the thread that keeps the GOP from denouncing Trump. He is their philosophy laid bare and they cannot reject it or they would have to admit to the world and themselves that it is corruption. So quiet they will be as Trump ventures into places like Connecticut to garner more supporters to buy his books, dvd, and network after he loses.
