Trump and the Anti-Trump Republicans

In all my years on this Earth, as a citizen of these United States, I can’t remember a Presidential election that featured a party’s nominee who was so disliked by his own political party! My prediction of what would happen if Donald Trump were nominated by the Republican Party was only partly correct. I thought that in an election, Trump would lose soundly to the (to any) Democratic opponent. In reality, however, this may not be the case. It seems that there are an awful lot of gun waving people who are sick of political correctness—and I get that. Political Correctness as a whole, has fallen off the deep end—into an abyss of hysteria and jumbled "facts." In essence, it is running out-of-control and is borderline insane. Most people (especially white people) are afraid to acknowledge this deviation from the actual truth—and even if some know better it is a method to push an agenda. So yes, there are a lot of people who will side with the guy (Trump) who dislikes immigrants (unless he's married to her), and anyone who is not rich and white like he is. The interesting thing to me, is that it is (often high-ranking) members of the Republican party, who are turning against the embattled Republican nominee! I, personally, have never witnessed such a mass dislike for a candidate; by his own party! Rather than the people deciding in an election (because Democrat Hillary Clinton is no big favorite), it seems that the Republicans (at least those who can see the destructive nature of Trump) themselves will ultimately decide this presidential contest in favor of the "lesser of the two evils!" Wow! That's entertainment!

Oh... by-the-way Trump, "you're fired!"
