      Trump is a far greater existential threat to movement conservatism than HRC. That's why you see many GOP types desperately hoping he loses.

      If Trump loses, the movement conservative apparatus can dismiss him as an aberration & revert to form. But if he wins: permanent realignment

      Trump winning would necessitate a realignment because it'd cause a splintering -- an organized conservative opposition to Trump would emerge

      Splintered conservative movement = less ability to push a unified agenda = less leverage = less overall power for DC GOP institutions

          Under a President Trump, the conservative movement would be constantly wracked by vicious internecine fights (like during the GOP primary).

          Whereas under a President HRC, they can comfortably unify in opposition, paper over ideological divisions, and go back to their old ways.

          This is why GOP operators with an entrenched interest in the status quo (the type who fawned over Rubio) much prefer a Trump loss.

          I am not willing to risk a Trump Presidency to see that happen. But I get your point.

          Always been splintered between neocons, evangelicals, paleocons, libertarians, et al. Just a different splintering after Trump.

          Agree with conclusion, but GOP fear is also he will be so bad that Congress will be lost in 2018, and 2020 will be D landslide.

          The conservative movement has always been splintered. GW Bush had both House & Senate and got nothing done. He was a weak leader.

          The Trump agenda has been the most unifying conservative agenda since Reagan. Look at his vote counts & supporters. No one compares
