In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump can, and will, if we help him, destroy GOP [View all]Bucky
(55,334 posts)He's already manipulating mainstream pols into endorsing him. Once the serious scare tactics about a Clinton Presidency starts up, you'll see a huge rallying behind the candidate at the Republican Convention.
Do they hate him now? Sure! That's because his pathway required divisiveness. Once he's going in the fall, his pathway involves seeming to be more mature. He's already giving hints that that's where he's going next. He'll trash Clinton on corporate donations and cronyism, he'll get away with his own Wall Street donors hiding behind his bravado, and he'll keep the party in line with his anti-PC shtick.
Trump is uninhibited by the need to be or seem sincere. He has the capacity to get rid of his high negatives with just enough people to move up in the polls. Clinton, barring a miracle, does not.
Trust me, you do NOT want Trump as our opponent this year.
