Seems to me,you and everyone else commenting on this article have missed seeing the forest for the trees. My takeaway on the article was more about the corruption in both parties now in power in DC who are owned by the special interest groups and have sold out the voters long ago. I see that none of the comments on this thread address those claims by the author. He is saying that Trump poses a danger to the cozy relationship both parties have to the corruption scam, and that is why he is a danger to both parties. I agree with that assessment. Any one who threatens to upset the corruptocrats in DC is going to be destroyed by both parties. Why do you think the GOPe hates conservatives more than they hate the opposition party? Because conservatives want to change the corrupt system enjoyed by both parties and their big money owners. I think that is Trump's appeal. He is perceived as not being one of the political insiders who are bought and paid for and who don't really give a schit about anyone except themselves and their pimps who are controlling them like the hos they are.

to combat special interest influence on our elected officials is to elect a horse's ### billionaire who lacks the disposition or experience to be President of the United States and who has comically and flippantly changed his "platform" to become more palatable to the only party through which he can win.

I reject the idea that all politicians are complete will-less puppets of a handful of special-interests. I do agree that the influence of "special interests" are of concern, but electing Donald Trump as a solution to overly-influential special interests is like chopping off your arm because you burned your hand.

I let my emotions get the better of me in these discussions because it embarrasses me as a conservative and as an American that this guy gets the support he does, but as Balm said, eventually support will consolidate onto a more realistic candidate. In the meantime, although I hate the distraction he is, perhaps it won't be the worst thing that a man with nothing to lose throws around ideas for discussion.

I reject the Trump-supporters' narrative that the only way

Trump's campaign is a lot like Obama's: long on rhetoric

What an idiot! The Democrats want Trump to win the GOP

I am but not confident in his chances.***
