Trump is going to win the nomination but fewer than 45 percent of voters in GOP primary elections and caucuses voted for him.

Trump is a weak general campaign candidate, a terrible fundraiser for the party and himself, and he is very likely headed for a landslide loss anyway. Even worse, if Trump loses big, the GOP will almost certainly lose control of the Senate and its margin in the House will be much smaller.

In fact, there is a good chance that even if Trump beats Hillary in November, Democrats will still take control of the Senate. If that happens, the chance that Trump will be able to get Senate consent for appointments of multiple conservatives to the Supreme Court will be remote.

Presidential candidates are expected to raise large amounts of money for candidates for the Senate and House races. Trump is failing miserably in that regard.

Virtually every member of the House and Senate has supported both Free trade Agreements and Foreign Interventionism. The beneficiaries of Free Trade ARE the big dollar GOP donors. They are not going to support Trump because his Trade policy opposes their interests.

The GOP has lost 5 out of the last 6 general election popular votes. They lose because they impose their values on the electorate and are completely deaf to the needs of the electorate.

So this election is really about the status quo GOP, which is basicly a servant of the 1%, and a self perceived guardian of conservatism that is molded to their self interest, and a morphed GOP that is responsive to the electorate, and independent from large donors.

For years, the rank and file GOP have railed against political candidates that are politically correct and obey the ideological litmus tests the party has imposed. N ow that we have that candidate that is sticking his middle finger at the establishment, we are complaining?
