I'm surprised he's still around after all the abuse.

how the gently caress does this thread generate so many posts, it's like a full-time job to keep up with it

I would say it's an even split between the people who want to discuss the GOP primary and the people having a manic episode that compels them to say Donald Trump is racist every 3 minutes.

It is my most intense, feverish dream that Reince Priebus comes on stage at the Republican convention with 1/4 of a handle of Jack in his hand, mumbling about, "the establishment" and "Rubio sucking dick in Miami in the 90s" and begins shooting wildly into the crowd. This, of course, being the RNC, is an open carry event and literally everyone dies in a Sandy Hook-style bloodbath.
If you think that is an outlandish possibility, you obviously haven't been paying attention. Chaos reigns.

I was hoping this would happen with Jeb during the last debate (ie: right after he dropped out).

It's not a manic episode; it's genuinely hilarious to see people like you scramble to register your complete denial. :laugh:

Should Trump win the nomination, interesting things to watch for:

1. Does he actually build a campaign ground game? There have been anecdotal stories both saying he did a good job of this in some primary states (SC) and a terrible job in others (IA). We don't really know which is true and which isn't, or if both are true whether the people running his campaign have learned from past organizing mistakes and can apply that to a general election campaign.

2. To what extent does the RNC support him organizationally? The RNC has made a lot of noise about how they've fixed the Orca debacle from the 2012 campaign and now have a reliable network for electronic organization. If true, how much will Reince coordinate with the Trump campaign and give them access to this information? How much will the Trump campaign cooperate with the RNC and share back their data?

3. To what extent does the RNC support him monetarily. This is a big deal because the individual contribution limit is $2,700, but you can contribute an additional $10,000 to state parties, and an additional $33,400 to the national party. Those larger donations get put into the "victory fund", a large portion of which pays for advertising supporting the Presidential candidate, but is controlled by the RNC. Will they run ads supporting Trump, as they did for Mitt in 2012, or will the victory fund be used to support down ticket candidates to the exclusion of the Presidential campaign?

4. Does Trump continue to have outsized dominance of television news coverage, or will his and Hillary's campaign be covered with some parity? Will the cable networks cut to live stream his rallies? Keep in mind that Fox has not been doing that while CNN and MSNBC have. Will that continue in the general election?

5. How does he handle the convention? Typically, the RNC turns over convention planning to the Presidential candidate's campaign, coordinating with them on the speaking schedule and other details. Will Reince do that with the Trump campaign, or will they move to establish tighter control to ensure that down ticket Republican candidates are given a presence at the convention. Will those down ticket candidates agree to appear at a Trump convention? Will they go off script and criticize the nominee?

There are a lot more open questions about how the party will act should Trump win the nomination and how his campaign will operate. This is what I've meant when I've pointed out that we can't just look at historical trends and pretend to know how the campaign will work. There's going to be a lot more going on than an argument about what percentage increase/decrease we'll see for each demographic group.

It's inconceivable to me that the RNC doesn't throw their full weight behind him if he wins. I don't see what other option they have. They'll jump on the Bob Dole bandwagon and pray he's like Schwarzenegger and sobers up after the election is over. I have a hard time believing that Trump isn't going to start running things exactly the way he wants to when it comes to the pomp and circumstance of the convention. Once he clinches the nomination he becomes the de facto party leader and unless the establishment folks are planning on setting everything on fire, I just can't see any of the major conflicts you describe no matter how tantalizing they are. Trump is the one flipping the script, not the RNC.
