The point, in simple language is, will the GOP division that Trump seems to be causing be enough to take down the GOP?

Will GOP leaders accept Trump if they can't dislodge him, or will they let things go on with the hope that the GOP will survive the schism?

Even if GOP leaders finally accept Trump, will it still tear the GOP apart because of the anti-Trump Republicans who will form a brand of their own GOP, giving us, essentially, a 3-party system?

The further point is, no matter what happens, Trump has already messed up the Republican/Democrat balance. Will the weakened balance overthrow these two parties ultimately, since they are so dependent on each other?

The real implosion will happen if Trump gets more delegates but not the majority and if the republican party chooses another candidate at the convention.  Trump's supporters will not stand for that.

I find Trump dangerous. First he is bloody racist, second he's a businessman and he will govern US as a company focused gain.
Us will enter war to war if he will be president

The nomination is in the bag for Trump. It´s impossible to defraud Cruz or Kasich in. The former needs 826 of the remaining 1061 delegates, the latter 1094 to reach 1237, the required majority.

Notice the portion of the article quoted that says, "Before proceeding, it's important to point out that what people think of as the Republican Party is really just a wing of what I have been referring to since 1979 as the Demopublican Party — an oligarchy with two wings, the Democratic wing that sets the agenda and the Republican wing whose main function is to help implement that agenda." Perhaps if the Republican Party goes down, since it is the "enforcement" part of the two-party system, it just might take the Democrat Party down along with it.

If those two parties went down, what would be left? Where would people turn? Would Trump be Libertarian or Independent?

Should be interesting to watch, especially if this happens, and Trump becomes President, and causes an auditing of the FED.

It's actually BOTH parties who are corrupt. Democrats and Republicans of all stripes have been corrupt. For years. Not news.

Thing is, the Republican Party is actually UNITING.

Trump is bringing people together. Kasich is the establishments LAST hope of getting their robots in the White House. Then you have two, non establishment candidates who seem pretty close when it comes to policies. Both want the wall, both want lower taxes, etc. Soon Cruz and Kasich will be wiped clean from the floor and Trump will be the actual nominee.

But because Trump and Cruz are the last two standing, they represent an anti-establishment vote that has united into one.

Look at the democrats. Other than the fact that they're badshit crazy # 1 and 2, they're deeply divided. Many more people are leaving the democrats for the republicans not even voting in the primaries. And Hillary still promotes her socialism/fascism agenda while Bernie still promotes his socialist/communist agenda. Both are radical, but have 2 very very very different types of supporters.

The Democratic Party has already screwed themselves. I think it's probably a 99% chance a republican will get the White House.

The Merciful End of the Corrupt GOP?





The Republican Party appears to be thrashing about like a wild beast in the final stages of its death throes. For those of us who are repulsed by politicians, political parties, and the odious political process, it's quite entertaining to watch.

(Before proceeding, it's important to point out that what people think of as the Republican Party is really just a wing of what I have been referring to since 1979 as the Demopublican Party — an oligarchy with two wings, the Democratic wing that sets the agenda and the Republican wing whose main function is to help implement that agenda.)

Of course, such a fraud would not be possible were it not for the fact that our rulers put a great deal of time and effort into providing great theater that diverts the public's attention from the truth. And the most important aspect of this theater is that the two factions of the Demopublican oligarchy gratuitously pretend to be at odds with one another.

But make no mistake about it — all members in both wings of the party fully understand the importance of the theater aspect of the political game, never losing sight of the fact that their overarching, joint objective is to stay in power. Everything else about the game is secondary. The unspoken understanding among Demopublicans is, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. And if you refuse to play the game, you can be sure that you won't be around long."

Nevertheless, the Republican wing of the party has been dying a slow death since the end of the Calvin Coolidge era. Coolidge was the last great U.S. president, a fervent believer that the government's role was to stay the hell out of the way, hence his slogan: "The business of America is a business."

But when Coolidge handed the freedom baton to Herbert Hoover, the downward spiral began. Hoover was the George W. Bush of his time, offering little resistance to the big spenders in the Democratic wing of the party and paving the way for Franklin D. Roosevelt, the first president to fundamentally change America.

Like the stock market, there have been a few upticks here and there, most notably under Ronald Reagan, but the long-term trend line for America has been downward. And since the first anti-American president appeared on the scene in 2009, members of the Republican wing of the Demopublican Party have not even made a pretense of opposing policies that are specifically intended to collapse the economy.
