Over the last week especially we have been seeing hints of Civil War. And over here is a guy with a plan for a civil war.
And here is my response (amended for intelligibility):

I think bravado had the eGOP and TPTB ignoring civil war up ’til now. “We can beat them” was their attitude, “Why worry?” What has happened IMO is that they have calculated the cost of winning. ’68 would be a picnic by comparison. I think they have caved in to Trump.
If that is so the cave should be evident in about two weeks.

Let me add that I think the US is the designated refuge from all the trouble going on in the rest of the world. The rallying cry? “Bring us your money.” That plan would be derailed by a civil war.
My guess is that Trump knows this and has thus boxed in TPTB. Trump’s advantage in all this? He has an Army (obvious in ‘Bikers for Trump’) and plausible deniability. He need not order them to start but he can order them to stop.

What on Earth, pray tell, is a TPTB?
Stop texting like a school girl and write.
Yes, I’m irritated because your post is unintelligible. Do you want to say something to me or not.
By the way, if Trump can cut a deal with either Rubio (It lives! It lives!) or Kasich, he’s in.
Bob,
I thought every one knows
The Powers That Be (TPTB)
Generally I’m quite careful about not making my message cryptic. You are quite right that there is way to much of that around.
Some panty-twister complained that Amazon sells Trump goods, so I ordered a Trump T shirt. Anybody who inspires this much hatred must be doing something right.

Heya, Simon. Followed you back over from your posts at DailyPundit’s OT thread.
I think you may be a bit optimistic on your last sentence: once a popular movement that’s started because of unrest and dissatisfaction tips all the way over and gathers steam it can be awfully hard to stop. Trump may well not be able to say stop and have it happen when it gets to that point.
He may find himself in the position of the guy riding the tiger and unable to get off.
I agree with Man Mountain Molehill: I support Trump, because at this point he’s hated by all the right people, and he has all the Right (and Left) enemies. It’s a good sign he’s doing something right when everyone on both sides hates him.
