Trump must be a democratic plant

How else could a GOP debate go so masterfully well for democrats and bad for the GOP?

He's there to destroy the Republican Party from within and, if he gets in as president, intends to hand Democrats victory after victory.

Conservatives voting for Trump will be unknowingly voting for the destruction of the Republican Party.

Considering how sophisticated strategies and tactics in American politics have become, I don't think it's fantasy to imagine Democrats being this many moves ahead and planning this since day one of Obama's administration.

Trump is a democratic plant.

Many of the donors are urging the deep-pocketed groups they’ve already funded to begin spending against Trump, even as some recognize the potential for such spending to backfire, and are increasingly questioning the efficacy of big-money advertising campaigns more generally.

“It’s unbelievable. I mean Jeb Bush spent $42 million in New Hampshire ― what did he get for it?” said billionaire GOP mega-donor Stan Hubbard, a Minnesota media mogul. “It’s frustrating.”

Hubbard and his family initially supported Scott Walker’s now-aborted campaign for the GOP nomination, donating more than $105,000 to the various committees supporting the Wisconsin governor. He was seen as a leading contender to unite the party’s conservative and business-centrist factions, but he never caught on, despite $24 million in super PAC support.

After Walker dropped out, the Hubbards played the GOP presidential field a bit, donating nearly $40,000 to committees supporting Bush, Marco Rubio and Ben Carson, as well as the since-aborted campaigns of Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie.

“That’s money down the drain,” Hubbard told POLITICO, adding that his latest hope to take down Trump is John Kasich.


Not to feel too sorry for these poor, frustrated babies. After all, Kaisich is a stealth candidate on their side in the first place. This has all just finally helped this phony "moderate" rise toward the top of the thinning pack in spite of voter indifference, or intense dislike.

Sorta like the US ambassador to Iraq telling Saddam we'd look the other way if he invaded Kuwait.

Trump is part of a democratic strategy to undermine the Republican Party from within.

Except I think Trump is truly a democrat at heart who has intentionally infiltrated the Republican Party.

sprouting in the middle of the GOP stage. It's not surprising, I guess, even inevitable, that some here would assume the evil Democrats planted that seed... Just as we supposedly planted theirs', right?

for some odd reason or another - will he be his own man in the WH or will he be guided and influenced every step of the way by the Repug Party?

Surrounded by people who will make policy decisions for him to carry out. But not anyone with experience. People like Roger Stone, Ann Coulter, Rush, Sean, . . . . Sarah Palin.
