As the minority party, the Republicans have come to recognize that, in order to have their way, they must work not only with the Democratic Party but through it.
In fact, shrewd Republicans prefer to work through the Dems rather than with them because, that way, the majority of the electorate can believe that it is having its way when, in fact, it is being manipulated by the minority.
In light of this fact, it should be clear that, at present, there is no Presidential candidate more acceptable to the GOP than Hillary Clinton. Her record in the Senate clearly demonstrates that she is a pachyderm at heart. How best to ensure her election? Everyone knows that Clinton has no truly viable challenger among the Democratic hopefuls so there is nothing to worry about from the so-called Party of the People. All that the Republicans have to do is throw the election. And who better to help them do that than...the Donald?
