THE TRUMP HANDICAP Why a Trump nomination casts a 5-25% handicap on all GOP

In the last debate we saw what a debate looks like minus crying, screaming, pounding tantrums.  Tantrums are difficult to listen to for prolonged periods.  And, the American voters are reaching their limit.

When we take a breath and see the whole picture we have to ask, “What do the pre-school antics of an adult do to the overall country?”  Answer:  The Trump Effect.

Assuming a Trump nomination, the GOP will experience a heavy handicap in races all over the country.  And to us a little seasonal football talk, “The red jerseys are going to have a huge point spread to try to cover if the party plans on winning it’s Capitol Hill parlay card.”

Trump and Trump’s copycat-crimes have spoken their truth with relatively little backlash from a nationwide electorate.  More importantly, these comments, philosophies and promises have not faced the full force and effect of a very capable Democrat National Committee’s attack ad campaign.  This is deliberate, not accicential.  This is strategic.

Make no mistake, the DNC is praying, lighting candles, crossing their fingers, tossing coins in fountains…possibly sacrificing chickens if there was a chance that would help to keep the GOP primary going as it is.

When the general election campaigns begin we will see an American backlash emerge from the political centrist majority, from non-extremist Republicans, and obviously all Democrats.  This spells big problems for all GOP congressional and senatorial candidates as well as down ballot races.  This will happen organically as well as with the rabid encouragement of the DNC.

Ultimately, a Trump (or Trump-esque) candidate will fuel a mammoth “anti-R” sentiment that will be a strenuous hill to climb for all Republicans.
