They are so shocked, they knew who this guy was, they had to!

only the sane rational people care and many don't start paying attention until now. Most DUer were aware of many of the horrible things Trump is on record of saying. Only now in October are they getting air play in the press. Surprise!

The deplorables still love Don the Con...they never learn.

They decided to throw their lot in with him. Too bad really.... not.

You'll notice Bush Inc. didn't go. They tossed him under the bus in October only after most of the field for 2020 had backed him. That's GOP politics. From Ted Cruz to extra thirsty Rubio they all got Trump stink meanwhile Jeb and Romney types are relatively clean and ready for 2020... It was a perfected 1, 2 take down.

How stupid do they think we are. The gop nominated a thrive married philandering billionaire with dubious business dealings, 1000's of hours of deplorable recordings, rape allegations & a wife who did soft porn nude pictures and they are outraged now? This is a surprise?

This is 2016 not 1948. The party elites did not have the votes at the convention.

Thought they could get away with it.

That's why, at first, so many refused to endorse him. When it looked like he wasn't going to be a total flop, the establishment Reps endorsed him because they need his voters.

It was the voters he fooled.

that he would just say: fool you, just wanted to show you that I can.

And by the time they were considering a brokered convention it was too late. They knew they would have riots from voters who would know that the elections were stolen from them.

In truth, they created the monster: starting with the relentless attacks of Bill Clinton, through that idiot who called "you lie" during Obama's first State of the Union, and to the teabaggers who would come to Obama's appearances publicly carrying guns.

Letting the teabaggers preventing any meaningful legislation, challenging any moderate office holders. Letting local Republican chapters come with crude racist cartoons of Obama and, of course, tolerating the "birther" movement.

By the time they've realized what they have done - if at all - it was too late. Still too late.

Even if Trump loses - and I really cannot be sure of this - his followers will still be around. Strong and influential.
