Best thing for the GOP or worst thing for them to consider?

Best thing for the GOP or worst thing for them to consider? Personally, I think, if the GOP embraces Trump's attitude they'll spin themselves so far out of the political ideology of a vast majority of Americans they'll be unelectable for a decade.

Remember when the GOP embraced the Christian Conservatives, then the Tea Party? Each move has pulled the GOP further and further from the mainstream and each time more rational minds have been forced to resign or not run leaving the GOP more politically charged than previous iterations. Adopting Trump's radicalism, in my opinion, will only exacerbate the decline of the Republican Party.

‘If you can’t beat him, join him’ appears to be the new directive coming from the Republican establishment, as Donald Trump maintains his lead for the 2016 the GOP nomination. http://ow.ly/VrSL7

If the GOP wants to guarantee another democratic president then they should definitely be more like Trump. Nothing will motivate democrats to get out and vote more than a Trump / Trump-clone candidacy.

More importantly you have to appeal to the moderates and undecideds and Trump will definitely not do that.

Meanwhile, the Democratic party pulls further left with Bernie Sanders. Which leaves the middle class unrepresented.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
