Republican Party's acceptance of Donald Trump and why this is a bad thing.

I can't believe all the changes that have taken place in past month since I have posted here. Donald Trump managed to get the votes necessary to win the Republican nomination for President. Now, the Republican party looks like it has a truce with Trump.

This should be a warning sign to voters that Trump has no intention of keeping any of his campaign promises, and he will likely fall into to the mode of  the regular right-wing conservative once elected. There will be no wall between the United States and Mexico and there will be renegotiated deals with mainland China.   He has already stated that he has no plans to raise taxes on the rich, he is going to drop taxes on everybody and then gradually raise them on the rich, but they will be paying much less taxes than they currently pay.

It looks like it will be Republican business as usual if Trump is elected.  I think Trump has figured that it is OK to lie to the American people, because most politicians lie anyway.

There is still an outside chance that Trump is shill for Hilary Clinton and when it comes time for the Presidential campaigning he will try to completely alienate himself from voters.  There will be an audio recording of him leaked out saying how he really plans to totally screw over the American worker and help out his new wealthy cronies of the Republican far right.  Or some other purposely leaked information to make sure that Clinton wins the race for President.  This of course, is probably just wishful thinking on my part.

Whatever happens, it has been a wild ride so far.  Jimmy Kimmel live had a sketch featuring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick doing a parody of their Broadway show, "The Producers." They play their characters as campaign managers looking to make Trump a false candidate so he can loose the nomination and they can keep all the campaign money.  Of course their plan backfires like in the play and they loose everything.  This just like how the American people will loose everything if Trump is elected.
