So I'm convinced Trump is in the race to make the other GOPers look normal.

What does Donald Trump like more than anything? Money. I bet he's being paid a pretty penny to act the fool so that specifically Jebbie will seem like a really good, caring guy. Especially when it comes to immigration.

It may not be true, but it probably is.

want to hear--he affirms their beliefs and grievances--and it's working for him. And that's starting to freak out the establishment, who want at least SOME Hispanic support and don't want Trump wrecking their outreach efforts for another four or eight years. The Donald has plenty money, and time, and is full of bullshit he can't wait to share, and just doesn't give a shit--he's the id of the party. I'm really enjoying the heartburn the Jebs and Roves and George Wills of the party are surely getting.

I think most of the republican candidates are a ploy and say whacked out things, so the candidate that they want to win looks more normal. Trump has so much money (supposedly)he can't buy a personality with it. That man would be a disaster for America.
