Whether or not it was his intention, Donald Trump is well on his way to bringing about the dissolution of the Republican Party.  Donald Trump, the ultimate arbiter of what may be considered to be fair or unfair, has received 37% of the votes cast to date.  Stated differently, 63% of Republican primary voters want someone other than Trump to be the Party’s nominee.  Understand, I don’t mean to say 63% of Republicans don’t favor Trump.  Because the geniuses on the Republican National Committee engineered the primary schedule with so many open primaries early on (to protect the Party from Rand Paul) they made it possible for someone like Trump to get a delegate lead from States where Independents and Democrats can vote in Republican primaries.  Many of Trump’s voters come from those groups, therefore it’s safe to say that far more than 2/3 of Republicans do not favor Trump.  Open primaries are permitted by the laws of the various States, and of course, Donald has determined that the open primary rules are fair.  However, many aspects of the rules that govern the awarding of the Republican nomination have been determined by Donald not to be fair.  He has pronounced many of them to be unfair, and indeed, he has denounced the entire system as both “crooked” and “corrupt.”  This is the very system, you understand, which has given Trump the lead he currently enjoys.  But, so many things have been so unfair to Donald.  Trump says it was unfair that too many candidates ran for President.  I guess everybody else should have stepped aside once Trump entered the race.  He must believe that, he keeps whining that he should win even if he doesn’t have a majority of the delegates.  On the subject of needing a majority, Trump says that it will be “mathematically unfair” if he loses.  Exactly how an accurate mathematical tally might be an indication of fairness or unfairness is unclear.  I suppose, if you’re Trump, 2 + 2 has to equal 5 in order to make it fair.  Now, although he has garnered only 37% of the votes, the crooked and corrupt system that is so unfair to Trump has awarded him 45% of the delegates.  The rules of the crooked and corrupt Republican Party specify that delegates be allocated in that manner.  This, of course, is fair.  However, what Ted Cruz is doing in accordance with those very same rules is decidedly unfair.  Indeed, we recently have been informed by Trump that Cruz is engaging in “Gestapo tactics.” Is Cruz torturing delegates to extract their votes, and imprisoning those delegates who refuse.  No.  It’s even worse.  Ted Cruz is actually speaking to uncommitted delegates and convincing them to support his candidacy rather than Trump’s.  Oh, the horror.  Colorado held a State convention to award its delegates.  Donald Trump decided not to participate. He didn’t go to Colorado.  He didn’t speak with the delegates, and as a result, Trump got none of the 34 delegates, all of whom are now pledged to Cruz.  Needless to say, working behind the scenes to gain the support of uncommitted delegates is unfair.  But is such conduct always unfair?  No, it turns out.  It’s only unfair if someone other than Trump does it.  Ironically, on the very same day that Trump denounced Cruz’s daring to speak to delegates as “Gestapo tactics,” another news report revealed that Trump staffer, Barry Bennett, late of the Carson campaign, will be doing the same thing on behalf of Trump.  Bennett stated, “We’re talking to uncommitted delegates.”  How can it be fair for Trump to do this but unfair when Cruz does it?  Only George Orwell knows for sure, “some animals are more equal than others” you understand.  At this writing the Republican Party remains at the mercy of the 37% Man.  Old Number 37 even has succeeded in gaining complete control over the Fox News Channel, which devotes 100% of its coverage to lauding Trump.  As I write this, Sean Hannity’s voice is ringing in my ears as he sings his usual refrain that the system is unfair to Trump.  Frankly, I’m sick of Hannity parroting the Trump whine that the person with the most delegates should win whether he has a majority or not.  Hannity says if Trump is short of 1,237 and loses, his voters will be disenfranchised.  Wrong, they simply will have voted for a loser.  The 37% Man, who coincidentally polls at, you guessed it, 37% head to head with Hillary (as though anyone could stand to look at both those heads at the same time).  Republicans spend far too much time, it’s true, arguing about whether a candidate is “a real Republican.”  This year, the front-runner’s pedigree is an unknown quantity.  Trump was a Democrat till 1987, when he became a Republican.  In 1999, Trump joined the Reform Party (so he could run for President).  From 2001 to 2009, Trump was once again a Democrat.  From 2009 to 2011 he was once again a Republican.  Then, from 2011 to 2012 Trump was an Independent.  In 2012, Trump again discovered he was a Republican.  And Old Number 37 calls Ted Cruz a Trojan Horse?  Even Trump’s family can’t keep up with the changes.  His daughter Ivanka and son Eric are still registered Democrats, so they can’t vote for dear old Dad on April 19.      Trump claims his changes of party loyalty were motivated by business.  Maybe they were, but for those of us who are habitual Republicans, choosing a consistent, conservative Republican as our nominee is OUR BUSINESS.  Donald Trump must not be the nominee of the Republican Party.
