End of the GOP

With or without Trump, the Republican Party is finished on the national level.

Without Trump, they lack the energy and appeal ( indeed the mania) to bring out the masses needed to win elections for an otherwise minority party.

No other Republicans have sufficient charisma , for ill or good.

The Trumpkins, who hate establishment Republicans, will abandon them .

With Trump, the GOP will be a pariah party. Adding to the growing Democratic base and natural constituency will be thoughtful decent Conservatives and moderate sensible Republicans  who are repelled by Trump and his GOP sycophants.

Either way the GOP as a party is toast.

Disappointing jobs news for Trump

No this isn’t a misprint .

The jobs report was positive and that doesn’t help Trump’s campaign tactics.

Given the nature of his base ,Trump understands that good news isn’t very exciting to them.  He knows they’d rather be frightened and driven by hate.

If the jobs report was bad, he could  blame it on the scary prospect of a  “blue wave” of Democrats taking over the Congress and plunging the economy back into the abyss with skyrocketing jobs losses, plunging stock market losses, destroying 401k and so on. You get the picture.

Now that would have been more to Trump’s liking. He knows how to exploit that scenario. 

Good news? Meh
