Other Republican candidates for the POTUS nom have been violating Reagan's 11th commandment with a vengeance. RW notables like Kristol, Scarborough and Cheney are chiming in. Even media figures who try to appear objective, like Chuck Todd, are assisting. It's only a matter of time.

They know what a Trump would do in office since he'd insist on running things instead of accepting their "help" in filling his cabinet with the men who would really run things while he memorized the speeches they wrote for him.

Trust me, that man scares the Old Guard in that party even more than he scares us. In insuring the smooth running of his own gravy train, he'd derail theirs.

.... and will probably cause a Dem landslide in almost all branches.

Any downsizing of the war machine, no matter how slight, impacts the BFEE / Cheney fortunes. They can't allow that to happen.
