Inspired by this conversation here: Case Alleging Trump Raped 13 Year Old Girl Is Re-Filed In New York
That may all be true what you just said. But the only people blindly devoted to voting for Trump are a minority of the vote in the Fall. Minorities don't win elections dear.
The middle voters (who decide elections) who think with their frontal lobes instead of their reptilian brain will NEVER be impressed by Trump enough to put him in the most powerful seat in the nation/the world. They will begrudgingly vote for Hillary. And they may be alarmed enough by the GOP in general, promoting Trump "any which way they can...including the obvious insertion of third party dem-splitting candidates and the like...beating the weary drum of "Never Hillary!"...over and over and over, that the loss of votes for the GOP will likely spill over into close Congressional races as well.
The GOP by stubbornly going into this mode of tearing down Hillary instead of promoting a winning candidate is the final nail in the coffin of public trust of the GOP. This is such an important point in fact, that I'm going to start a separate thread about it. This thread.
So the GOP plan is to:
1. Still try to back Trump, even against unbelievable odds that he will likely alienate a huge majority of voters.
2. Still try to back Trump, even though doing so, and Trump's pathological personality = smearing the GOP label by association.
3. Still try to back Trump, even though doing so will cement the rift of trust between the moderate voters who would otherwise fall back in love with the GOP if they promoted a candidate people gravitated towards, instead of felt really really shitty about and frightened of.
4. Still try to back Trump by inserting and promoting third-party vote-splitting candidates with a left-leaning bent.
5. Still try to back Trump not by wooing voters back to the GOP in general by their virtues (which is what impresses thinking people, not reptilians), but instead by launching probably one of the most negative anti-opposition campaigns in the history of the US.
6. Still try to back Trump doing 1 through 5 here, even though doing so in this day and age of information and social media sharing, will permanently divorce middle voters from ever considering voting republican again.
*******
All that being said; there is time. And the Trumpsters will recover should their icon step down. Because they don't really like Trump. ie: he isn't "irreplaceable" in their minds. Instead, they like the idea of any conservative candidate who bucks the normal GOP protocol. There was another candidate who didn't exhibit pathological personality flaws who also is shunned by the GOP's Cheney-gang, a governor who thinks and acts autonomously for the good of the people he governs. That's the thing the Trumpsters are in love with...if the GOP would only give them their substitute.
We'll see. The GOP stands now on the edge of a precipice. Will they continue to listen to the advice of the Cheney machine and die a final death? Has The Republican Party Been Getting Dicked For Decades Now? Or will some of its rogue members finally figure out that the Cheney plan has not worked for three election cycles and that this particular cycle is the last of "three strikes"...and they're out?
People are weary of tearing down Hillary. Women in particular might be like the Trumpsters, so alarmed by the attack of the opposition on someone they identify with, that they might just gravitate to Hillary to spite the obvious assault on her (women by extension). That's how visceral thinking goes. And that's how even with the best laid plans of mice and men, they can backfire. Beware GOP. I know who you're listening to. All the signs are there. Job security dictates you fire your adviser and start thinking for yourselves.
I'm a moderate democrat, but I'm smart enough to know that we need a two party system at least. A country with only one ideology is a dangerous country. We might as well change our name to "Rainbow North Korea" if the GOP commits this final blunder.
