If #DonaldTrump is cutting himself off from the #GOP establishment will he fulfill his prophecy of tearing the Republican party asunder? That is, will his fervent followers be the hair on camel that breaks the party's back or will roll over just as it did for the Tea Party factions?

It's not as if there's some ace-in-the-hole to be played. We know how this plays out, and how it ends - Trump fails. If it were just another business venture, he'd declare bankruptcy and scurry off to find a new shiny toy.

But it's not Trump Steaks. It's America. The GOP is going to find itself in the position of having to do some serious political triage to keep the damage confined to 1600 Pennsylvania, and Priebus is going to find himself on the wrong side of the line.

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
