Finally! A controversy and a lie that will make his poll numbers go down!

I almost didn't laugh writing it.
 




It means Trump is winning.

His tweet started today, right at the start of a news cycle. Now every media is talking about it propagading his message. A message that could be popular among the Republican base who poll after poll shows they distrust Muslims. His hateful strategy is well planned.

What I find the most disturbing about Trump's run is his legacy. He's shown the way to future Republican candidates which is troubling to say the leat.
 

...unless the GOP candidate loses the 2016 election, of course.*

And if he/she does, I wonder if the post-election autopsy will have them claiming they lost because the candidate STILL wasn't conservative enough. You know, like the last 2 times.

If the GOP loses a third presidential election in a row, the schism that some in GOP leadership have been talking about this year may well become reality.




* I'm thinking they will, and if the nominee is one of the current front four, the word "spectacularly" will be part of the phrase.

The republican candidate will lose. At this point, democrats could put up a turnip for President, and it would beat any of the GOP candidates.

As you pointed out, the GOP has lost the last two times. Each time they've done their post-election autopsy, they've admitted that they need to do a better job reaching out to minorities. Instead, however, they become more "conservative." I don't see the GOP changing it's patter when they lose this election.
 

IDK- that they're even publically talking schism means things are BAD in there.

I would not be surprised to find John McCain spearheading a break, either. Remember, back in the 1980-90s, he was the one warning about what could happen to the GOP if they got too chummy with the religious right.* Add to that the contempt he has for the Tea Party republicans and he may well decide it is his legacy to be the "savior" of the GOP by returning it to its pre-Southern Strategy roots.








* and was pretty consistently vocal about that until he decided he REALLY wanted to be the GOP nominee in 2008.
