He's not destroying their party. They are.
He represents the more liberal wing of the Republican party and the conservative wing (which has been in charge since Reagan) is fighting him tooth and nail.
Imagine if they were actually treating him like the frontrunner and eventual nominee that he is. None of this would be happening.
Trump is what used to be called a "Rockefeller Republican"
New Yorker with money who isn't a social conservative. Today they call them "RINO" (republican in name only)
And the weird thing is...they were hated by the Southerners. Which is why the Democrat Party was so strong in the South all of my life up until Reagan perfected Nixon's "southern strategy" and took the South from the Democrat Party.
I say it's weird because the Southern states...which are supposed to be super conservative and religious...were all won by a loud "yankee" from New York who doesn't give a damn about all that religious stuff.
Cruz and Rubio should have won those states.
So anyway, in my opinion...the people fracturing the Republican Party are the establishment party leaders. They have had power for almost 40 years in the Party. And now they see that being taken away from them by the actual Republican voters going for Trump instead of their handpicked boy Bush.
