GOP Suddenly Terrified at Thought of Trump Winninghttps://politicalwire.com/2016/09/13/republicans-suddenly-terrified-at-thought-of-trump-winning/
"SNIP.............
BuzzFeed: For months, the prevailing wisdom within GOP political circles has been that Donald Trump stands little chance to win in November and a large number of the partys consultants, fundraisers, and operatives privately preferred it that way. Though many of them are reluctant to say so in public, they argue that a Trump presidency would fracture their party, decimate the conservative movement, and wreak havoc on the global economy (not to mention their own industry).
But now, with polls tightening and Hillary Clintons illness temporarily sidelining her from the campaign trail, those Republicans are expressing alarm at Trumps sudden electoral viability.
Said one GOP consultant: Its terrifying. Hes not qualified and its a massive problem. Im not a fan of Hillary Clinton, but at least I feel like some of those jobs that are required for president, she could do them.

(6,436 posts)2. I really don't think Trump qualifies as a true businessman. He's more a carnival barker, a fraud
his Atlantic city ventures lead, to I believe, to 4 bankruptcies.
