As a Democrat, I'm torn on this. On one hand, I want them to keep Trump because it gaurantees a win for the White House, Senate and possibly even House. On the other hand though, this feels wrong. I can't celebrate a win that happened because a sleazy con man ran a scampaign on the opposition. Sure it exposed the dangers of relying on rubes as one's voter base, but I doubt the Republican Party will make any meaningful reforms now that they're armed with this knowledge. Anyways, what do you think? Dump Trump or just grin and bear it for five more long months?
There is no need for anything here that you suggest.
I have been repeating here for years and months that age-old expression "the monster has two heads, but the body is one".
The fact that so many so-called republicans, especially the so-called neo-con types, are endorsing Clinton, the fact that Bernie Sanders is endorsing Clinton, is just another concrete manifestation of that.
Again, as I have often repeated here, Trump is more a reflection of his opponents and detractors than he is of himself.
What difference does it make what happens to the so-called republican party?
Trump is the two-headed monster looking at itself, talking out of four sides of two mouths.
Those trying to push Trump out are those on their knees to the "dynasty", the "establishment" candidate. These are not people in touch with the reality that the majority of American citizens live with every day.
It is just shows how truly corrupt the system is and proves that those who thought their vote wasn't counting were probably right. We MUST take our government back!
Should the Republican Party dump Trump at the convention?
The hilarious aspect of this dilemma is that either way, the GOP has painted itself into a very tight corner and the paint is a very slow drying variety.
Options:
A) Stay with Drumpf and get clobbered in November.
A very unappetizing prospect. But then Drumpf truly is representative of the bigoted low info Republican base. They'll have the Bubba vote all wrapped up, but lose any prospect of attracting anything approaching a majority.
B) Replace Drumpf with???
Paul Ryan? No way he'd put himself in such a lose-lose position. He has ambitions for the future.
One of the primary losers? Maybe Fiorina. The 1st presidential contest between females. Could be an interesting (but VERY one-sided) catfight.
Willard Romney again? Winner-winner chicken dinner! You know he wants it. Just so he could get slobber-knocked again.
Overall, Option B would no doubt result in an even bigger loss for the GOP as the many millions of Drumpf supporters would just stay home on Nov 8th, ensuring that the Pubs lose not only the senate but the house as well. Good for the Dems, though. They'd love to see this unfold.
But no, I'm sure the GOP is stuck with Drumpf and will just have to suck it up, hoping they hold on to a majority in the house.
It'll all be VERY entertaining. Stock up on popcorn, everyone.

Yeah, I just can't imagine that any normal, ordinary, every-day republican wouldn't be passionately supporting trump for their party's candidate. No idea why the 60% or so of primary voters on the republican side didn't vote for him. Bet they're gnashing their teeth because they blew the chance to vote for him then, and breathlessly awaiting the chance to vote for him in the general.
Both parties should dump their presumptive nominees at their respective conventions. There has never been a less likeable choice.
Side note* Lets be honest, Trump doesn't stand a chance against Hillary. She is the corrupt industrial military complex incarnate. Abraham Lincoln could come back from the dead and still lose to Hillary.
Well, Hillary has just too many issues, and if Bernie would concede, I think they would push her under the bus and go with McFeelThemUp Biden.
Trump is the GOP's only chance to finally win one, not that those that support the "dynasty" would care if they lost to Hillary. Not sure how the GOP "dynasty" would feel about McFeelThemUp Biden though.
Dominating Trump is the wise thing to do, but as we know, the GOP hasn't been particularly wise in the last two elections.
Trump and the GOP deserve each other. He would never be where he is if the GOP had a decent candidate competing for the nomination. The entire crowd was laughable but somebody was going to float to the top of the cesspool and Trump was it. Donors were too divided and distracted. Now they are stuck even though he never gained a majority of the vote. The Dump Trump effort will look too contrived and underhanded and sets a precedent that they would have to live down. Time is running out.
It's possible Trump might just bail out at some point before November if there is suddenly a convenient crisis with his businesses or the family. Everyone would say it was a shame and make nice comments about how wonderful he is and then stick somebody else on the ticket who will lose in his place. it will never be his fault.

There is another consideration at work in the dilemma though, and that's future years. If they stick with Trump and he keeps up the anti-Mexican/Latino racist stuff through November, the GOP might lose Latinos for a generation like they did with blacks.

Maybe he'll die of a heart attack before the election. He's got the spare tire around the waist and his stress levels are likely pretty high given that his poll numbers are terrible and he hates losing. This would be the best case scenerio for the GOP.

It would be great for everyone if Chump keeled over and died, but he doesn't have the decency to do that.
