The Republican Party this week is like 5th-century Rome must have been after the Visigoths stormed the city’s gates. Anarchy and confusion reign, there is the sound of anguished wailing, and political leaders are making an urgent calculation: Resistance or collaboration?

The suddenness of Donald Trump’s final victory over the GOP establishment was shocking. On Monday, Pollyannas were still convincing themselves that Trump could be thwarted at a contested convention. Within 48?hours, he had won the Indiana primary in a landslide and his last two opponents, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, had surrendered. Even Trump couldn’t have expected it to happen so fast.

But no one should be surprised, at this point, that the result of the Republican primary process is Donald J. Trump as the party’s presumptive nominee for president. He has been the clear front-runner for the better part of a year. Too many observers, both inside and outside the party, saw the race as they thought it should be, not as it was. They ignored the obvious fact that Trump was gaining momentum as the primaries went on. They believed it was unthinkable that he would win, so they gave too little weight to clear evidence that he was doing just that.

2. It's the GOP creation.

GOPers fuel on hatred. . . . "take our country back . . . Mexicans are taking everyone's jobs . . . healthcare is bad . . . education should only be for the . . . . Dems are taking your guns . . . . we need to protect ourselves from the government . . . black people are all thugs . . . . no more taxes . . . . and so on. . . "

Now the semi-sane GOPers see this and are very afraid.

3. he asked Republicans for the keys to the clown car, and they gave them up freely

now he's going to drive around in it for a while, classing the place up as he goes.
