Who Is To Blame

WaPo: My very peculiar and speculative theory of why the GOP has not stopped Donald Trump - What if political scientists are to blame for his rise?
But I wonder: Just how much of Trump’s rise came about because the people who could have stopped him read analyses asserting that he had no chance of winning? How much did political scientists refute their own hypotheses?

Rubio is the GOP establishments best chance of electing a young hood ornament for the bosses. Trump is beyond their control and they hate that. If he's the party nominee Hillary and Bill will be hoping their Wall st. pals like Bloomberg et al. will rally to her brand of Corporatism and not the Donald's brand of Amerikan Fascism.

IMO Hillary is infinitely superior to Trump. Trump is power hungry and violent. He is pushing his crowd and they are doing violent things, that bodes very very poorly. This is not anything like Hillary. Wall Street and the PTB will always control this country, there is no way around it. All we can get is a slim margin of social progress. Hillary will not be giving license to low thinking people to go out and beat up Latinos and Muslims. Let me add that Hillary can handle Trump. She is not a pushover. Look at how she basically ripped up that sham Benghazi hearing, the latest one that is. There's so much shit out there that Trump has stepped in, in just the last few months. That's all good fodder ready for some over the top exploitation. Trump will rip her one, but Hillary will rip him bigger.
