My biggest beef with Trump, even more than the fact that I don't like him as a candidate and a man, is the fact that he has created an environment where all the republicans are destroying each other. Yeah, I know, attacks happen in every election, but he has proven that there is no floor on how low the process can sink. With the amount of material that they could be focusing on by going after Hillary and Sanders, their wasting their time and money destroying the republican party. We should be evaluating how well they talk about what's wrong with the democrat candidates as a preview to a general election. Instead, this entire process is all about Trump. If he wins, he have a horrible candidate at best that doesn't share our values imo. If he loses, he has made sure that the rest of the republican field is a bloody mess.
The R's have been beating each other down in primaries for a long long time. They do bring up every possible misstep by an opposing candidate to tear them down, and then in a general election, are stuck in a hole with all of their skeletons exposed. Been that way for decades, and it is stupid, as it hinders the whole party.
Trump somehow excels at this though, and slings the most slop in the hog pin. If that is the way they are going to play the game, then that is the way to win it, unfortunately.
