The Republican Underbelly: Supporting Trump

If nothing else, Donald Trump's failure to fail has revealed and unveiled everything wrong with today's Republican Party. Gone are the polished tolerant comments of the political class and big-mouths who predicted Trump's early demise from their out-of-touch cloistered haunts and suddenly from Kasich who, dropping his "polite" style confessed (calmly) how he'll try to manipulate a nomination in defiance of voters, to the stupidity of Erick Erickson, the Republican anti-Trump campaign by the Republican Party is a disgrace.

If Trump is the nominee, they claim Hillary will win. Since not every Republican voter is stupid, let's call it for what it should be: If Donald Trump is not the nominee, Hillary will win. Sure, there are some Republicans who won't vote for Hillary, but they're a shrinking, dying breed of entrenched extremists who would vote for any other-than when it comes to political figures.

Mike Huckabee comes out a winner, though he's not running for President, in his harsh criticism of the party's conduct. Looking up his comments is a good read, most everything else getting air time from the Republicans reveals an embarrassing ugliness that it took a Donald Trump to expose.
