The G.O.P has created yet, another Frankenstein's monster.
Michael Barbaro, Maggie Haberman, and Jonathon Martin wrote an article in the New York Times about how the members of the G.O.P are coping with Donald Trump and the statements that he makes.
"They (less outrageous GOP members) fear insulting the white working-class voters who admire (Donald Trump) him."
"They are loath to tangle with a threat flinging firebrand for whom there are no rules of engagement."
"Why have so many (GOP) party leaders- privately appalled by Mr. Trump's remarks about immigrants from Mexico- not renounced him ?"
"It turns out, interviews show, that the mathematical delicacy of a Republican victory in 2010- and it's dependence on aging, anxious white voters-
make it exceedingly perilous for the Republican Party to treat Mr. Trump as the pariah many of its leadership wish he would become."

Donald Trump's Strident Language Silences Many Republicans
"...fearing Mr. Trump would mar the coming presidential debates with his needless provocations."
"...fearing attempts to rein him in would only turn him into a martyr and, worse, tempt him toward that third party run."
"...worried that Republicans are handing Democratic rivals a powerful campaign weapon by allowing Mr. Trump's voice to be depicted as representative of the party..."
Only last weekend, did Jeb Bush- after an earlier muted response, call the "rapists" comment "extraordinarily ugly" and "not reflective of the Republican party."
Donald Trump responds-
"(Mr. Priebus)... knows better than to lecture me!"
Senator Lindsey Graham-
"He's (Donald Trump) is taking a problem we already have as a party, and making it worse. If we continue this, ( gsgs comment- What is the "this," that is under discussion ? It would no be racism, prejudice and bigotry, would it ?) we're going to accelerate the demographic death spiral we're in."
(gsgs comment- There you have it. They are damned if they do, and damned if they do not feed racism.)
Thomas M. Davis-
"You have to keep (Donald Trump) him in the tent. He just wreaks havoc and every vote he takes comes out of our hide."
gsgs comment- Whatever happened to the win-win, for the Republican side of the fence? Are the Republicans now saying that rabid racists are not beneficial to their aims ?

"Some Latino Republican officials said they are dumbfounded by the reluctance of other Republicans to deliver full- throated rebukes of Mr. Trump- and suggested that debates might provide that opportunity.

Is Hector V. Barrett expecting too much from the G.O.P. ?
Has Hector taken a glance at the K.K.K., lately ?
