Frank Rich has just published a lengthy essay in New York Magazine that really captures what is going on with Donald Trump. Rich does not praise Trump the person, but in bold strokes praises Trump's candidacy because he is revealing the hokum that is traditional Republican politics. This is just a must read, one of Rich's best and most insightful political essays.
Rich doesn't think Trump can win the Presidency (having alienated all minorities, women, gay people, thinking people, non-narcissists, etc.), but he has already wreaked havoc on the Republican Party and will continue to do so up through the Republican convention. Rich doesn't say this, but it's obvious now that if he comes to the convention with the most delegates, but is denied the nomination in a brokered convention, he WILL run as a third-party candidate, if nothing else, just to make his mark in history. Nobody remembers much the losing Republican Presidential candidates, but everybody still remembers Ross Perot.
