But it's a heck of a headache for the GOP. They can let the party implode now and begin trying to pick up and reassemble the pieces for 2020, or they can implode in Nov. and have many more pieces to pick up and reassemble, or if Trump's elected they can hold their breath and pray that his administration doesn't permanently implode them.
Any which way, both the tea party and the true conservative factions of the party are at best marginalized to a point of no power and at worst totally destroyed. Which seems to be what Trump supporters want. I'm a democrat and it's ok by me.

They were screwed before he became the leader or if he becomes the nomination. All Trump has done is expose the GOP for what it really is. Even if the GOP lose the house and senate does it really matter, after all what in the past few decades has the GOP really even accomplished, especially in the past 8 years?

As for the SCOTUS nomination again its all politics and basically worrying about the lounge chairs on the Titanic regarding any appointment or their positions as the USA is trillion is debt and an economic crisis is far more critical than such an appointment

We elect Republicans and what do we get? Justice Roberts, Justice Kennedy, Nathan Deal of Georgia, etc... Trump is being supported by many because they are sick of spineless RINOs.

The process would take weeks.
Every ballot hand-processed and counted while on camera
with observers.
This is what Trump should push for, and make it clear to
the people that every ballot will be hand-counted this way.
In my opinion the only way we could trust a election at this point is if there was a way to know exactly who everyone voted for so the people / independent media could self regulate the election themselves.
