It's hard for the GOP leadership. They want Trump to fail, but they don't want their fingerprints on the knife in his back. So they're being passive-aggressive. I don't recall a nominee of a major party getting this much disdain from within that party. Sure, Nixon saw protests, but they were from the left. Obama was (and his) absolutely hated on the right. But both were well-liked in their own respective parties while running for office. (Nixon, obviously, didn't sustain that through Watergate.) Can anyone recall another Presidential candidate getting this kind of treatment by his own party?
One of my coworkers is on board the Trump Train and he always laments that he wishes the "GOP" would have fought the Democrats and Obama as hard as they fight Trump. I hope the party disappears, and something else can come out of it.
If Trump wins, the real theater will come when all the RINO's who are shunning him now come out of the woodwork, trying to pretend that they supported him all along, and try to climb on the bandwagon. I hope Trump hits every one of them over the head with a figurative baseball bat.
Perfect. Absolutely spot-on. Those people don't want a real Republican, and haven't for years. That's why you saw the nominating spectacle they put on.
