This is the best this party has to offer America.

My goodness, how sad is that? Bush, Palin, Romney Trump? That's your best line-up? Wow, that speaks volumes about today's low information conservative voter.
Nobody died because of Trump. Clinton's past is littered with dead bodies.

Plan A for GOP donors: Wait for Trump to fall. (There is no Plan B.)
It'll happen (his fail). I think he even knows it.

Unvarnished English? His syntax is more tortured than an Abu-Ghraib prisoner:

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
Remember that awful, widely ridiculed speech Sarah Palin gave a few months back? That's Trump on a good day!

Is it any wonder why the GOP won't stand behind him?

Those waiting for Trump to "fail" need to borrow a line from the Beverly Hillbillies theme song: "sit down a spell, take your shoes off".

So, would I be correct to say the "Trump fail" threads are now being posted on a daily basis?

I think the Dems are under a spell by Obama's MIL, the voodoo lady, and believe that by repeating "fail, fail, fail" that it will happen.

If the GOP doesn't nominate Trump, the GOP loses. Trump could take this election as a 3rd party. He could draw big time from the Dems and pull a significant number of GOP votes.

Calling him Trump the Birther isn't calling him names, it is called being honest with who he is, a Birther. Though I would expect any Trump Sympathizers to deny this and pretend like that part of history never happened.

But... but... it's such an incredibly deep field!

The was Scotty, who was supposed to have liberals quaking in their boots!
Democrats are terrified of Scott Walker. They should be. « Hot Air Headlines

There was Bobby Jindal, the greatest policy wonk ever!
Bobby Jindal: the Republican candidate who once performed an exorcism - Telegraph

There's Kentucky Chainsaw Massacre Rand, the self-styled Mr. anti-Washington who is so desperate to stay in Washington that his campaign paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Tennessee GOP to hold a caucus, thereby allowing him a loophole to avoid the Tennessee law that would prevent him from running for President and the Senate at the same time!


But who rose to the top?

Donald 'Everything I do will be terrific! Oh, and totally fascist, too!' Trump, and Ben 'I brag about trying to kill people when I was younger!' Carson!

trump may have issues making public speeches, but the reason the GOP wont stand behind him is because they cant control him.

I've said for months that I didn't think Trump was in it for anything but a good time and a Trump Enterprises commercial, and that he would pull out and leave the rest of the field standing there looking silly. What started out as a lark has gone beyond his control. I really think a lot of things such as suggesting camps for Muslims and tweeting neonazi propaganda are things he is doing to try to get the voters to reject him, but they seem set on following him down the racist rat hole he is digging.

He has lost the gay vote, the Jewish vote, the youth vote, and most of the ethnic votes. He is playing the show to lower-class ill-educated white Americans who get their news from FOX. Fortunately there aren't enough of them to actually elect him. It does speak volumes about what the GOP has come to stand for, however. Fascism still sucks.

Clearly. I think he will go third party in the end. His ego won't let him believe he lost, so he is already hedging his promise not to run third party by claiming the GOP is sabotaging him. He is probably at least partially right in that.
