Of course they are, and I'm loving it. The GOP has betrayed its voters---and the country---for too long. They, like the media, are angry that there is someone running that is too strong for them to control, who doesn't need their money, and doesn't have to spout the propaganda that they do. The Donald is a truth-teller, a breath of fresh air, and a leader.

Trump doesn't have a party. He has told the RNC over and over, "would you rather I be a Democrat with all this support?"

If *I* were the GOP, I'd happily ride Trump's coattails into office with MY choice of Veep, banking on the high probability he probably wouldn't complete a term before stepping down or being impeached.

Why would he step down?

Why would he get impeached? With all that Obama has pulled, he hasn't been impeached. Yet you somehow think that Trump will be impeached?

If you didn't read the leftwing and o'bagger comments in threads like this, you would never believe anyone could actually write any of this nonsense about Trump after telling us how brilliant obambo was and actually voting for him. Twice! And they're worried about Trump??? LOL!

This country never belonged to RWNJs, that's why they pine for the days when they almost had their own nation.

The percentage of Republican voters who think Trump will beat Hillary is lower than the percentage of Dems who believe Hillary will beat Trump. That quiet reservation will turn to outright panic if this halfwit wins the nomination. Trump is a farce.

And why is that? Because the GOP knew they couldn't get enough Dems to vote along with them, that's why.

Do you see the difference?

For many Republicans, Donald Trump is their pink rug...."
While I agree with the overall sentiment, I think the analogy ground to a screeching halt at the words "complex and sophisticated"...

Yet, the left bought the pink rug twice in a row!
