Is The Disunity In The Repug Party An Act?.....

I'm very suspicious of the disunity being displayed by the Repug Party going into this Convention. Could it be an act to get the Media talking about it - to get the People to watch the Convention - only to end on a note of a great coming together by all factions of the Repug Party to unite against the Dems and Hillary.

Would something like that tend to sway the American People to vote Repug and Trump?

Are we seeing a staged reality show being played out to play us? Just asking?

Plus, the conspiracy would have to include tea partiers, traditional Establishment Republicans, Evangelicals and neocons. There's no way those groups would be able to pull off the kind of deception required. After all, remember the Congressman who proudly announced that the Benghazi committee was set up specifically to damage Hillary Clinton? That's the level of intellect we're talking about.

It would make a great sub-plot in a fictional political thriller, though!

This is the seed planted by the teabaggers and the old guard republicans are being squeezed out by the much more radical wing of the wing nut party.
