I doubt it, he's shown a very cavalier attitude toward his business. The owner of the Trump Hotels in Turkey is already saying he's going to stop paying to use Trump's name, and I think Macey's stopped carrying Trump stuff now as well.

Pataki's the only one I would be alright with in the White House, but he doesn't really have a chance in hell, so I've kind of given up on the GOP.

Pataki missed the filing deadline for the Florida, Texas, and Virginia primaries. Safe to say he is not a serious candidate.

Yes, they will. They're demolishing Turkey-backed Sunnis in Syria, and the Houthis are demolishing Saudi-backed Sunnis in Yemen. Turkey, meanwhile, is going to try to Balkanize Iraq (which is on the verge of kicking the U.S. out for being spineless, which means Iraq will become a Russian client) and make a puppet Kurd state with Barzani as lord, which will then get involved in a war with Iraq, Hezbollah and the PKK, and will probably lose. If Russia plays its cards right, its camp will gain hegemony over the Middle East.

At least Trump doesn't have any trouble standing up to Saudi Arabia.

Christians in Syria strongly support Assad because he protects them, and frankly, however bad you think Assad is, the Army of Conquest would be far worse.
I will be honest, Assad is a prick. However, just like Saddam, it is a necessary evil in the region.

Sad as it may be, Jeb's victory was never going to be acknowledged, no matter how effective it was.
This election cycle has been one of the most unstable in American history, and it's all thanks to a brainless billionaire.

Is it really his fault or is it the GOP's fault?

Which part of the activist base? They have several groups which is part of their problem.
In some ways the RNC probably was happy for the tragedy to happen (not saying they are dancing about dead) as it gave they the fear option to talk about rather then ideas for the economy and the future.
Repubs at the moment don't have any "real" plans which is a shame. It will still be the concept of negotation where they have a list and the demos are supposed to agree with all of it.
Not much will be done in the next 4 years. Well that is unless one actually wins. I see many many foreclosures after they tank the economy again.

Why exactly is the economy bound to implode in the next Republican presidency?
