Some officials in the Republican Party are starting to come to terms with the idea that Donald Trump may be the Republican nominee for president. After all, he is 20 points ahead of his closest rival (Ted Cruz, ick). While the presumed GOP heir apparent, Jeb Bush, is now polling at a dismal three percent.
But their terms are that they don’t like it.
A former official under Dubya says “If Trump were to either get the nomination, or if it even looked like Trump was getting the nomination, he breaks the party.”
A retired Republican congressman says “He is embracing and trying to win through a strategy that most Republicans ultimately believe is dooming us. I call it the last dance on the Titanic.”
So, for your dancing pleasure, (and apologies to Mozart) here’s a little Trump music:

The Party is already broken, the GOP is just too myopic to see it, or how they broke it themselves.
I’m not seeing the outrage… Trump is of above average intelligence, but what really distinguishes him from the rest of the current candidates is that he is the most unabashedly “frank” of all of them. He is a man totally unafraid to tell you exactly what he thinks at any given time, no matter what. Exactly like your drunk uncle.
Exactly the sort of person the FOX audience has become comfortable with over the years… kind of a GOP version of Jerry Springer but wasting less time on deep thoughts and with way more money and WAY more political clout.
Trump’s race to lose at this point, at least on the GOP side. And he can always snag Michele Bachmann as his running mate, to go after the Evangelical wing of the party. What a combination!

Eh, promises, promises. None of these people has a gag reflex any more.
