He's already done a massive amount of damage by sheer force of his own narcissism. To me that's astounding and I could not applaud what's going on there more. I think his presidency would bring that ten fold. Whether or not that sort of change means good things to the American people is doubtful.. but shit.. it's happening on an unprecedented scale and degree the likes of which we have never seen. Any step towards completely fucking up this batshit crazy Status Quo trajectory we have found ourselves in is a step in the right direction.
I could almost hop on board with a new party Idea. But the two parties are WAY too deeply ingrained into American culture to be simply side-stepped by a new party. The only way we are getting past this nonsense is complete revolt in the established parties. The coup is well underway on the republican side and I'm more than angry that the democrats haven't, and seemingly refuse to, follow suit.

Win or lose it will be interesting to see how the republican party reacts and what they do going forward. If Trump loses will they look at the party and change or will they just keep repackaging the same bullshit and hope it works this time. The democrats do the same thing, but so far their base hasn't gotten fed up with them.
If Trump were to lose it would be great to see the Republican base continue to reject the same old career assholes that always run.
While I really dislike Cruz as a person, I respected him when he refused to endorse Trump because of what Trump said about his wife (although Cruz played that game as well when he posted the pic of Trump's wife), but he lost all of his credibility when he caved and endorsed him.
