    With Trump's idiotic statement about the KKK, the Republican Party in the U.S. has been targeted as racists & any attempts to condemn what he said have been interpreted as bs

    http://www.salon.com/2016/03/01/don...ism_and_racism_now_officially_the_same_thing/ (way too long of a read)

    If Trump's still winning despite all this, when it comes down to the final election, will Republicans stay behind Trump or run to the Democrats? Or just not vote?

    The Donald basically shares none of the qualities, ideals and convictions that the Conservatives/Republicans claim to have and aspire to... but he has the White Nationalists tendencies they pretend they don't have.

    Trump's appeal is that he's not a politician who's not bought and paid for and that he seems he'll be a lot tougher than Obama on foreign affairs

    In this day & age, not being involved in foreign affairs just won't work we have too many alliances. Then again Trump would ruin half of them the second he steps in the White House

    Possibly, but they're going to have to collapse before they realize they need major structural changes.
