Evidence mounting that Trump's candidacy is just one big con-job

21. A dangerous game to play.

Particularly if the GOP is working with him, which doesn't seem to really be the case, in public... but, who knows?

Maybe the strategy is to present someone so out of control, so crazy, such a complete asshole and idiot... that any other republican candidate would look really good in comparison. Maybe. On the other hand...

Those who voted for Trump in the primaries were very numerous, very angry - and can be very loud. If Trump is denied the nomination at the convention... if they pull off some kind of "white Knight" scheme, it could very well blow up in their faces. What I mean is - we're talking about a lot of rednecks with guns, frustrated people in general - and people who, well, let's face it... aren't that well informed or educated, otherwise they would have voted for someone else.

In particular, those armed militia groups on the border want that wall. They will probably kill to get it - and I don't think they'd hesitate to get really, really violent if they felt that there was no longer any point in voting. Whether we like it or not, whether the establishment republicans like it or not... Trump won the popular vote and the delegates. What it comes down to in regards to him being the Nominee for certain... is the question of whether the Republicans are desperate enough to toss him out on his ass - and what will happen if they do.

Con job or not, this is going to get a lot uglier, I suspect.
