Trump will, without doubt, be elected the next President of the United States. The question: Will God give him the time he needs to fix things? Christians are in a win-win situation. Either we will be destroyed (and thus with God), or Trump will be a complete pleasure to watch as he reverses all the damage of Obama and sends all the Muslims home. With God or America Great Again... I'm happy with both.

This is actually the third time a nativist party has accumulated significant political influence. The Know Nothings are the most well known example, but the second KKK, pre-World War II, also had a ton of influence in local government and Congress.

Don't be fooled, Trump is not an ideological outlier. He's trumpeting everything the right has been feeding to their base since '08. The only difference is that instead of using dog whistles and finding fancy ways to dance around the fact that their stance is basically "gently caress minorities, gently caress women, gently caress the poor", Trump just comes out and says those things to the base's face. And they're eating it right the gently caress up as usual, with the added bonus of Trump appearing more "genuine" to them, because he doesn't dance around the main message.

The Republican establishment is absolutely making GBS threads their collective pants over Trump, and for good reason. If he crashes and burns, he takes the right with him and leaves bare the core ethos of the fringe republican platform on a national stage for all to see. If he succeeds, then the inmates are running the asylum, as the radicals go from a convenient tool to wield against the left to the ones at the wheel.

All the pundits like to go on about how the establishment is just as afraid of Cruz and Carson as it is of Trump, but I doubt that quite a bit. While still both insane in their own special ways, Carson and Cruz are at least making an effort to play the game. Trump absolutely refuses to play ball though, and he is going to keep on giving voice to the absolute shittiest beliefs of the Republican base until it gets him the nomination.
