        a thousand times this. No one wants to admit that this is the natural result of Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly.

        Exactly. This option sweeps the racist and violent rallies attended by hundreds of thousands of people under a very large rug.

        The GOP base has been conditioned to love Trump by the GOP establishment fanning the flames of ignorance and hate for years.

        perhaps the GOP establishment would prefer to lose the election than to nominate trump & let the party be killed.

        bribing Trump would also send message that stirring up aggressive racism will result in being paid off instead of being chastised.
