I think Trump's presence is the catalyst for just about all of the outlandishness, including the RNC holding secret meetings to figure out how to get to a brokered convention to stop him. That's just unheard of. And I can't ever remember a GOP debate where the candidates attacked and shredded each other like they did Tuesday night. It started not five minutes into the debate, and I sat there thinking that either Hillary or Bernie wouldn't have to employ a PR staff to write their ads, they could just continuously play clips of the candidates being as ugly and negative, and slinging mud like nobody's business. I'd say that within that two hour framework was some of the worst behavior ever exhibited on national television by candidates for the Presidency, and as evidenced by post-debate polling, was a demonstration that no one on that stage is qualified to be POTUS. The "kid's table" debate got better reviews.
With the rhetoric being what it is, if Hillary wins, and the GOP loses control of the Senate, both very realistic, and fairly likely outcomes, will these extremists go get their guns, secede and start a civil war? That's the gist of a lot of the rhetoric. They love the constitution, and they love America as long as they get their way. When the majority disagrees, then they think government is too big, and they aren't willing to live by the rules. I find that attitude both anti-Christian and anti-American, but if you disagree with them, that's what they think you are.
