Meh, might be good for the country. Get the diehard Trumpeters out in the streets in full sedition, then have our own little Tienanmen party. Thin the political gene pool, so to speak.
(yes, I'm a horrible person...that happens as you get older)
Meanwhile, Shitstorm Trump continues to barrel around so fast I can't even keep up.
You have:
1. Trump refusing to endorse Paul Ryan and John McCain for their own electoral primary bids, in what is almost certainly a quid pro quo for their reluctant endorsements of him.
2. Trump's campaign calling Melania's nudies that have recently surfaced a "celebration of the human body".
3. Trump kicking a mother with crying child out of a rally and mocking them.
4. Trump claiming a vet gave him his Purple Heart, only to find out it's a replica.
5. Trump once again getting distanced by his own VP as Mike Pence defends an Air Force mother's right to criticize him at a rally in Nevada (in which the woman was booed and heckled by Trump supporters).
There was also a
fascinating op-ed by John Podhoretz (a neocon flack that I usually just roll my eyes at), wherein he crowned Obama as king of the trolls for baiting leading Republicans by asking why they haven't withdrawn their endorsements of Trump. Podhoretz's argument is that this is a masterstroke that puts Ryan, McConnell, et al in a no-win situation. If they pull their support from Trump, they'll be seen as cowards who caved to Obama and lose all credibility and control over their base. If they don't, they're tying themselves and the GOP to Trump's albatross and potentially crippling the party for years.
