  • Trump is the worst of the worst of the worst of ruthless exploitative conservative republican capitalism.

    This isn’t why the republicans oppose him. They oppose him because Trump is a wildcard. He represents chaos, the Id of the parties of Capital.

    He was intensely destructive to the monied interests that back both parties, and it was only by exploiting a removed in the armor of our two-party system that he ever was elected in the first place. If he were running under DNC primary rules, the primary system would have bernied him demoting him to not much more then a footnote in history. But the GOP primary system was a bit too democratic, it actually allowed outsider candidates to build momentum and even become the candidate.

    I haven’t looked much inside the GOP system, but I suspect that a bunch of quiet changes have taken place, similar to the changes Hillary made after she lost in 2008.
