Trump wasn't the cause of the crazies getting stirred up, he's the effect. With any GOP loss, no matter how it happens, you can count on some of them going off the reservation just as they have for the past several decades. The problem with that tactic is it's just going to cause more people to disassociate with their beloved ideology.
