In response to "I keep thinking him or someone like him will finally cause the party to reassess who it's choosing to represent and give voice to" by TWuGbacca

I really think Trump scares the hell out of the GOP...

they have no control over them and that, above all, frightens them. The one thing the article doesn't mention, however, is the quiet beginning of the Teabaggers. How that was a Koch invention which was supposed to be just a more vocal segment of the GOP which would allow them to say and do things that the GOP wanted to but felt were beneath them. Then that beast broke it's leash. The GOP didn't just set up the circumstances to allow Trump to happen...they deliberately whipped their base into a frenzy.
