“The US government has already built, at a not inconsiderable expense, a wall and fence along the border with Mexico to keep out people many of whom are refugees fleeing violence in their home countries.”

“Fortunately, polls show Ryan losing to just about everyone in the general election. So if the GOP manages to stop Trump and install Ryan as the appointed nominee, the country could still dodge that bullet.”

Trying to knock-off Trump for Ryan is a sign of the GOP's irreversible decline into cluelessness and political irrelevance.

See presidential elections as mostly a distraction, keeping most Americans from understanding that they live in a money-controlled delusional democracy.

“This year, 2016, we have more of the same absurd rhetoric and propaganda aimed at the masses. Make America Great Again for Benito Trump, Courageous Conservatives for Ted Cruz, Fighting For Us for Hillary Clinton, A Future to Believe In for Bernie Sanders and Kasich for America for low key John Kasich.”

A bold thesis that best makes sense of an astonishingly calamitous Trump week. The unforced Trump implosion invites provocative interpretations, even projection of a readily predictable demise. Trump never thought he'd get this far and is now showing why he should go no further. How does he reverse this week's torrent of political self-destruction, worsening his General Election leverage? Can we not imagine Trump’s PR skills going into full damage control mode, even sniffing how to make lemonade out of souring lemons.

Situations are only getting worse between Trump supporters and protestors.

Surveillance video from the event confirms that Trump’s campaign manager abruptly grabbed the reporter’s left arm before violently yanking her backwards, nearly forcing the her to lose her balance.

Ultimate bunker buster against Trumpism is to demolish his fraudulent magic show, not let him flee when his incompetence is scrutinized. Trump exemplifies the “triumph of the will” school in which he’s the special, self-appointed strongman destined to save the world by ruling it. The great vulnerability is his empty, amoral magic shell game has neither hidden bean, nor relevance to the world outside his selfish bubble. And though pathological, he's not an effective political liar.

If Trump or Cruz ever enacts the kind of repressive policy they now advocate, then eventually we will become much more like Europe in its ethnic and religious polarization.
