Donald Trump intent on destroying GOP

A great political conspiracy?

Please give me the reason we have not asked the question: Why is “The Donald” trying to lose this election?

This question can be answered simply if we speculate, for the moment, a conspiracy is afoot. Let us ask the following:

Why alienate major voting blocks such as blacks, Hispanics and women? Why pick on an American war hero who happens to be Muslim by faith? Why hesitate to support the No. 1 Republican in the country, Paul Ryan? Why make statements that oppose Republican doctrine? Why cause Republican stalwarts to state they will vote Democratic?

I could go on and on until I come to a conclusion many of you have already considered: “The Donald” has purposefully decided to alter or destroy the Republican Party as we know it and he knows he is the person to do it.

The current polling suggests the loss of Republicans to Democrats will be so devastating in November as to take not only the Senate but the House back to Democratic rule.

Here are a few of “The Donald’s” motives as to why he would do this: He is aware of the country’s unhappiness with the progress of the Republican-held Congress at 12 percent favorability rating. He has survived, all his life, under the delusion that by repeating over and over again “The Donald” mantra, he will perpetuate his brand name and satisfy his passion for self aggrandizement. He is not a true conservative; he knows it and we all know it.

Make no mistake about this unusual election process: “The Donald” has no intention of occupying the White House come January 2017. He has no passion for it and is smart enough to realize he lacks the ability to carry out the job.
