Donald Trump Will Destroy the Republican Party and Push America Further Towards Disaster

We’re right on the edge. Doomsday prognosticators have been talking of economic collapse, radical Islamic terrorists, new world order, global warming, and whatever the boogeyman of the moment is. The difference with this particular prediction is that it’s not based upon signs or wonders. We know with a certainty that Donald J. Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, will rip apart the fabric of the Republican party and either push America towards disaster by allowing a Democratic victory or he’ll systematically do it himself.

Donald Trump is a liberal. I’m not talking about his suspicious and improbably shift on nearly every issue that he held for six decades. I’m suggesting that if you look at his current stances on healthcare, the economy, trade, affirmative action, taxes, and touchback amnesty are either moderate at best or outright left-wing at worst.

His platform will take the party to the left, an absurdity considering that we’ve been leaning more to the right for the last six years. That’s the least of our problems. Because of his polarizing nature, he is turning off many conservatives. Those who voted for John McCain or Mitt Romney as the lesser of two evils will have a harder time supporting Trump. There will be splintering; many will jump from the GOP ship if Trump is its leader. They will migrate to more conservative small parties and as a result the unity of the GOP will be demolished.

As far as the general election, he would likely lose. I’m not going to try to convince anyone about that; either you see it or you don’t. Even if he’s able to defeat the Democrats, he will carry on the big government mentality that we’ve had for 28 years and that we’ve seen acutely displayed for the last seven.

I apologize for cutting this short, but I can’t finish this article the way that it needs to be finished. This truly is a distressing situation. It makes me physically sick just thinking about it.
