What if Donald Trump never intended for things to get this far? What if he actually only intended to destroy the Republican Party and things got out of hand?

There could be many reasons, unknown to me, for The Donald to want to destroy the Republican Party. They might have crossed him in one, or more, of his many atrocious, zany business deals. In any event, he may be seeking revenge upon the party. (That, of course, would be a good thing.)

I have been thinking about this for months. Why else would he act so crazy and appear to be throwing the race to someone, anyone, else?

Not so strangely, he has broad appeal to all the crazies of America who share his particular insanity. They take him at face value, for being real, and would follow him anywhere. Won’t they be shattered if and when the truth finally comes out?

If America proves to have a majority of nitwits, what will Trump do if he wins? He would be President of the United States of America, and that would be terrifying for him. And, it would be terrifying for all of the sane people who refused to vote for him, should he accept and be inaugurated to the office.

We would need to do away with the Department of Homeland Security, dissolve the U.S. Border Patrol, and all secretly hustle across the border to hide out in Canada for the rest of Trump’s term in office. But, what if Trump refused to surrender the office after losing the following election? Uh, oh!
