Is Trump the Dog That Caught the Fire Engine?

Clinton hack Sidney Blumenthal seems to think the Donald began his campaign with the intention of burnishing his brand and not winning the nomination.

"The Republican leadership, said Blumenthal, brought the radicalization of their based on themselves. 'The base has been enflamed and galvanized by their leadership in order to win various election cycles, and in each cycle they promised they would overthrow Democrats and they would reverse all progressive legislation,' said Blumenthal, tracing the phenomenon all the way back to Robert Taft going after Dwight Eisenhower, who elements of the base thought was too much of an establishment figure.

“'They’re infuriated that Obama won in 2008; they were promised he wouldn’t. They were furious at Bush in violating so-called free market principles,' he said.

"Then the GOP won the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014, and controlled the Supreme Court, he said, 'and yet Obama still prevails and Obamacare is still there. He keeps doing things, he keeps winning and guess what, the Supreme Court approves gay marriage.'”

What happens if Trump decides he doesn't want the nomination?
Would Republicans use loaded firearms at that a convention?

Not this shit again.

RIP GOP:
"The GOP’s face-plant over Benghazi, which ensnared Blumenthal too, only further enraged the base, he argued.
conservative movement have been defeated by this character. 'They’re going to eliminate Hillary Clinton and instead they make monkeys of themselves,' he said. 'The base gets more and more angry. So Trump grabs control of that anger and in particular one issue, and that issue is immigration. Nativism and racism are at the core of Trump’s appeal.

"Without it there is no Trump.

"He defeats the Republican Party as it was, represented by Jeb Bush, and the conservative movement as it was, represented by Ted Cruz.

"So both the Republican Party and the conservative movement have been defeated by this character, who now is the dog who’s caught the firetruck.”

Makes sense coming from a dim dumbfuck like Blumenthal.

"Blumenthal will be best recognized as the onetime tiger of the Clinton administration—senior White House aide and personal confidante to President Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, then senior advisor to Hillary Clinton during her 2008 bid for the Democratic nomination, and a paid consultant for the Clinton Foundation."
