We are at an interesting juncture in the history of our country and I'm sure historians are taking careful notes on the Republican implosion. Trump has mainly sped up the collapse as he has based his campaign on driving wedges into the fractures that were created in the Republican base by years of misinforming their voters and motivating them through the use of fear and anger.

There is now what I would basically call a crazed and militant 10% to 15% of "Republican" voters and this is the 10% to 15% that consistently is pushing Trump to victories in these primaries. You'll note his victories are not by giant margins. These people are not aligned with any sort of traditional or conservative "values" but instead they just want some revenge. They don't trust Republicans or Democrats and they don't trust the media either...and they want to stick it to all of them.

There is good and bad news with this. The good news is if you prefer to see a Democrat in the White House that is pretty much a certainty. While that lunatic 10 to 15% of rabid Republican primary voters can propel Trump to victories in primary voting there are nowhere near enough of them (and their numbers are dwindling, trend downwards) to push him over the top in a general election for president. Combine this with the fact that the RNC and core of the Republican party despise him...and he has no shot of becoming president. The RNC core Republicans would rather elect Hillary Clinton...that's not a joke...and this is because she is a Republican in a Democrat's dress.

The bad news is that we actually are at a moment where we could elect an actual Democrat in the form of Bernie Sanders but the core of the DNC do not want this to happen. They also want to elect Hillary Clinton because she is a centrist that will not interfere with or attempt to repair any of the policies (fiscal, foreign, environmental, campaign finance, all manner of internal policies) that have been disastrous for this country and which allow the rich to continue to get richer while the middle class shrinks and struggles with paying the bills and the poor are virtually forgotten and worse demonized. Her husband oversaw an insane deregulation process that led to the "Wall Street Crash" and collapse of the housing market, and eventual "bailout" of these ridiculously wealthy lunatics, who she is also in bed with.

Hillary is a horrible candidate with a closet full of skeletons, an enemies list that probably dwarfs Nixon's, and that will literally say anything to get elected no matter how obvious a lie it is...but she would be running against a loon of epic proportions in somebody like Trump or Cruz so she becomes the old "slightly lesser of two evils."

The Republicans don't really have an option except to support her for president and they know they are going down like the Titanic as a party...well...in terms of electing presidents. As far as "red states" go they will likely be staying red for some time and they will probably send some even bigger lunatics to the House and Senate to "combat" the forces they feel are screwing them...even though they likely do not know who or what those forces are...because I can tell you it is not Mexicans coming across our border, Democrats in Washington, the "liberal media", or Muslim terrorists that have driven this country into the massive hole it is in...but these are the areas that these people have been fooled into targeting.

I would say once Hillary is elected the Republicans desperate to impact the presidency in some way will move to impeach her...she is the one "Democrat" that likely has enough dirt in her record and is probably as paranoid and dangerous as Richard Nixon when it comes to her "enemies" that would be at risk of impeachment. I mean if the Republicans can't win a presidential election they can do all they can to smear and destroy the sitting president...that's something right? It's probably more fun than actually doing their jobs too and would excite that 10 to 15% I mentioned earlier...who are never going to get what they think they want...like the Great Wall of Trump on our border.
