I am going to keep this very short. The dilemma Donald Trump poses for the Republican Party is worthy of a Shakespearian soliloquy. There is no good answer to the question of whether they should or should not dump Trump. The voters in the Republican primaries have spoken, farted, and given the Republican establishment the finger. Whether the base Republicans are smart enough to realize it or not nominating Donald Trump is suicidal. And as most of the pundits will tell you, attempted political suicide and/or defying the will of your voters are both capital offenses.
I am tempted to say that it is all over but the laughter. Unfortunately the trial does not begin until after the conventions, and any prosecutor who walks into a trial thinking he has the case won is making a huge mistake. There is a lot at risk in this trial, this election, and the least of those things is the fate of a party that has pandered so shamelessly to the fears and prejudices of its angry, gullible base. Besides, the fate of the Republican Party will be decided during the penalty phase, if the voters turn out and render a proper verdict!
