Like a corporate raider, Trump is in it to see how many Republicans (shares) he can win over, then cash in on them with a victory for the party of Trump
The Reform Party is alive and well...within the Republican Party! An act of piracy is in progress as populists are being raided by the Trump Jolly Rogers. Scoping out the possibilities of a presidential run as far back as 2010, Donald Trump began to marshall his forces for a run in the 2016 campaign.
Like a corporate raider, Trump is in it to see how many Republicans (shares) he can win over, then cash in on them with a victory for the party of Trump, with no care for the state of disarray in which he leaves the Republican Party. The price to the Republican Party for "buying back" those "shares" could leave the Party in a shambles. The resulting disunity would then be likely to put another Democrat in the White House, give the Democrats a majority in the Senate and diminish the Republican majority in the House.
