I'm more interested in what the GOP does between now and November than what Trump does. If it becomes increasingly clear that he is a sinking ship, do they jump? Do they risk losing the voters that support Trump or the voters that do not?

Trump is a symptom of a disease that the GOP is suffering from. Will they perform a Trumpendectomy?

They can't cut him out without alienating the internet legions that are only too happy to vote republican because it makes liberals cry.

Just recently it became darkly cool to be a The_Donald republican, and that's giving them a window into the (Crazy, politically suicidal) youth that the Dems have enjoyed for a long time, but really were able to leverage with Obama.

They either need to keep that group happy, or else cut them out of the republican political process, like, yesterday.

I would argue Hillary Clinton's overwhelming campaign of spending is the ultimate symptom of a failing system. She has spent more years in the white house executive branch than anyone in history, and is now jumping for the most influential political position on the planet. She has been a member of the Bilderberg group since 1997. Trump is touted as an untrustworthy rich businessman... well there is an easy answer: you can trust him if you see financing and promoting a functioning economy relative to a free market, which the world is still governered by I might add. It is all in your own perspective, but mark my words... Hillary Clinton is the epitome of a hypocrite - she eats from a silver spoon, and preaches public uniformity. She is the bastion for maintaining the status quo... you tell me if you look at the last 20 years of our federal government and tell me it is functioning with the current people in power.

History is repeating itself, and there is nothing this political race is going to do about it. Mark my words. The best chance this country has is by re-establishing a balanced budget.

News-flash: there are a lot of people in the world who don't appreciate the U.S. and are going to hold our debt and our fiat currency of completely mental reasoning accountable.

I don't care enough to put down links, I have much more important things to study at the moment. But you look at where the financing is going behind these media outlets, and the dots paint the most primitive picture of a complete undercutting by our own domestic political party mayhem- facilitated by the same old shit mankind has been repeating - doing over and over - since we first sought to treat symptoms as answers to problems. The pests are still swarming, much like egoism and greed, and all these new proverbial pesticides and synthesized treatments are getting into the soil, our roots are getting sick again.

A storm is coming. At this point, it won't matter, the president will become the commander in chief. If Our congress continues the flotsam, we will pave the way for a new world order.
