Republicans nominate dangerously insane person to lead America....

...then panic when he proves he’s dangerously insane
By Greg Sargent August 3 at 3:40 PM

Republicans are in a full scale panic today because Donald Trump’s candidacy appears to be in chaos.

Republicans have shifted into a much higher state of Red Alert because Trump’s erratic antics are revealing just how reckless their decision to nominate him really was, and how reckless their continued support for him really is.

In other words, Trump is now threatening to damage the party in far worse ways than Republicans had bargained for, because he’s revealing in inescapably clear terms the real character and qualifications of the person they knowingly nominated to run the country and continue to support for the presidency.

1. Trump is not the problem. It's his supporters...a legion of bat-shit crazy racists and mysogynists.

2. Oh he's a big problem all right, as are his racist supporters

Pls don't minimize the extent of what a huge problem he is.

5. I know, right? How anyone could possible think trump isn't a big problem..

is beyond me.

6. Trump is the symptom of the plague, while the base is the underlying virus.

A large part of (White) America was already primed for fascism before he came on the scene, thanks to Fox and talk radio.

How to stop this? Other than undertaking a Manhattan Project-level investment into education (and honestly on top of that we may need to, as Bernie alluded to, federalize the schools at this point because this shit has been brewing since Brown) I don't see how this changes. If you're not in a position to be hurt by the bigotry - aka POC, LGBT, disabled, etc, then without that education where's the impetus to not just repeat the bigotry of one's parents?

4. It's both.. trump and his supporters.

3. Never been a headline like that before on one of presidential candidates!

Yes, the dt campaign is in chaos because of dt and the stupidity of the primary voters.. and whose fault is that.

Thanks working!

7. The Trump supporters argument for hanging on is basically

"as long as he fundamentally changes everything about himself in the next 2 weeks, we might win". The guy has been acting like this for 70 years, why does anyone think that suddenly he will become calm, well informed, rational, and charismatic? Its like telling an unemployed meth addict, if you just quit meth and get a job, everything will be great. Its that easy.

No, this will probably get worse. Its a downward spiral. The worse he does in the polls and in the media, the more erratic he will become and the more he will turn people off. No Clinton indictment, no leak, no amazing convention left to save him.
