Trump is EXPLODING the GOP. If he is doing anything, he is either 1) RESURRECTING the long-dead party or 2) tossing in the last few shovels of dirt on the corpse in the grave.
Let's face it - there is no longer a difference between the Republicans and Democrats. Last November the American people handed the Democrats a defeat of HISTORICAL proportion. Since then the GOP has continued doing the very things that got the Democrats defeated so soundly, proving pretty much that there is no difference between the two and exposing the growing lack of representation of American citizens from our Washington career politicians, no matter what side of the aisles they sit on.
Trump has tapped into the sheer anger, not just from the GOP constituents but from the Democrats as well. Be honest, Liberals were partly beaten SO SOUNDLY last election becuase the Liberal base was so thoroughly disgusted with their own politicians that they did not come out to the polls. The GOP was not handed any kind of mandate - It was not about SUPPORTING / PREFERRING the GOP! The Democrats were 'punished'. Boehner, McConnell, and the rest of the Washington Establishment GOP did not see it for what it was but instead just saw the power they had just been handed, believing now they could do anything they wanted.
Americans on both sides of the aisle are P.O.ed, tired of being ignored while multi-millionaire political elitist ignore Americans and engage in their own agendas that are designed to 1) get them re-elected, 2) protect their own power/profit/prestiege, and 3) do whatever profits themselves and the people who helped get them their the most. This is why NON-political / career politicians are leading. THIS is exactly why Trump is currently running away with it. People have been BEGGING for blunt honesty, for someone to champion THEIR causes, to end political correctness, & to have some b@lls...Trump is the 1st example of the GOP having any of that in decades.
In turn, the Washington Establishment has two choices: 1) Learn the lesson of all of this and why Trump is so popular..and adapt to it / wake up OR 2) They can see Trump as a threat because he does something they don't - champion and represent the people, and they can attempt to attack and destroy him. Since he currently represents most all of what Americans are looking for right now, if they do that they will only P.O. people even more, cause them to flock to Trump more, and cause them to abandon the existing GOP.
