He won't back the leaders in the House or Senate for re-election and has now destroyed whatever the Republican Establishment stands for.
Good riddance!
You want Trump staying in for the long haul. If Trump were to quit this week, the Republicans would have to find another candidate; they wouldn't roll over and die. Paul Ryan has been mentioned as a possible candidate practically all year. A more traditional Republican candidate can still beat Hillary in a landslide, or do you forget how negatively she polls as well? The Democrats need Trump staying in, yelling at babies and arguing with military families, right up to November.
Of course, the converse is also true.
If the Democrats could contrive to get Hillary thrown in jail and have a second chance to choose a more inspiring candidate, they might have a decent chance of winning. So, the Republicans need Hillary as much as the Democrats need Trump.
You can't compare the two candidates.
Trump 's mental facilities is being seriously questioned.
His mental facilities have been seriously questioned for decades and it hasn't made a lick of difference.
Trump is a master salesman. He long ago figured out that most people don't pay attention to objective facts and make decisions based on "gut instinct" and emotion, and he has kept his eye on that ball. The Trump name is synonymous with success
despite the fact that everything he launches is a failure! People rush to buy shares in his projects
despite overwhelming evidence that his investors always get ripped off! In this election, he continues to carry a reputation for "telling it like it is" despite reams of well-researched articles proving that 90% of the stuff falling out of his mouth is lies!
People keep coming up with more evidence that Trump is pure con-man, and then they stand there with mouth agape as the voters continue to ignore the evidence and flock to his banner. Trump knows better. He knows people are not rational. We are just monkeys at heart, with instinctive responses to stimuli. Big strong man lead us on hunting trail, make Murica great again! The voters vote based on knee-jerk reactions to buzz-words, and Trump knows all the words to buzz. He has words. He has all the best words.
And then of course there's Hillary. As much as Trump is a scumbag, I think Hillary is the more dangerous person. Trump only wants to rob America blind and feed his ego. Ugly, but not likely to have long-term consequences. Hillary, on the other hand, really does look forward to having her finger on the nuclear button and making other nations tremble at her name. It's a much more frightening thing that could bring on WW III. Between money-hungry and power-hungry, the latter is more dangerous.
