As we know only too well, Donald Trump demands complete, unquestioning loyalty from his supporters, while giving none of his own. Not to the United States, and certainly not to the GOP, which he sees only as an instrument answerable to him. What happens if the intellectual and political leadership of the party turns on him, and openly supports a different candidate during the primaries?
He’s not going to take that lightly. The Democrats have only had limited success dividing the crazoids from the more respectable wing of the GOP, but Trump could do the dirty work for them. For that, for the first time, he would deserve our thanks.
A note to my readers: I will be out of town until Friday. Regular posts will resume at that time.
