Donald Trump is Democrats greatest gift: Why his buffoonish politics threaten to bring down his entire party
The GOP embraced and enabled him at every turn. Now he's become a yoke they may not be able to shed before 2016

Rather, the problem emerged from the inside of the tent of the Republican Party. It is commonly called the Donald Trump problem.
The worst part for the Republicans is that Trump has the same effect as a Trojan horse. (Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts, Republicans of the United States!)

Outside of the 20% of voters who enthusiastically vote for Ross Perot types, people dont love Trump. They love to hate him. They live to see his humiliation and failure, whether through his next bankruptcy (of which he has had quite a few) or in other venues.
Donald Trump may not win the nomination, but the Republicans will have a very hard time to rein him in or control him. To the Democrats great delight, he is setting the tone and terms of the race on the Republican side of the field.
