If Donald Trump’s candidacy were a Watergate-era political thriller made in 1973, this weekend would be the point in the movie where the audience tried to determine whether:
- The Republican leadership were secretly supporting his bid with a special slush fund because he made the rest of candidates look slightly less crazy by comparison, and therefore shielded them from serious scrutiny.
- The Republican leadership were about to launch a plot to have him assassinated before he could embarrass the party further.
- Trump had actually been backed by the Democrats as a means of discrediting the Republican Party.
Unfortunately, it’s 2015 and this is not a movie…
