And that he's not a Calvin Coolidge/Ronald Reagan/Ludwig von Mises hybrid hiding inside a fantastically clever and wildly expensive Donald Trump look-alike suit?
How else can one explain the GOP’s bizarre nervous breakdown this week, shortly after its own convention, inspired by the same brand of Trumpian behavior that has been on clear display for the past year?
ROTFLMAO!
Why indeed!!
To be serious for a moment, many in the GOP have had to do Trumpian appeals to the racist/xenophobic base of their constituents in order to win primaries. Once they get past their primaries, some of them shift to a more "mainstream" GOP message to increase their appeal in the general election.
I think many in the GOP thought/hoped/prayed The Donald would make a similar transition from throwing red meat to the base to making more statesmanlike appeals to a broader audience, and Trump did not do so. Now they're stuck with him.
There's a conspiracy theory making the rounds on the Net that Trump is some kind of Democratic Manchurian candidate. I'm starting to believe it. Nobody can be this militantly clueless. Not even a repugnican.
