If anything, most of the conservatives I work with seem empowered by the garbage that exits his mouth. It kind of fuels their own racist xenophobic bullshit.die hard birthers arent the people the GOP needs to worry about courting. so the fringe is feeling emboldened? dosent move the needle one iotathe bigger picture is the more time the GOP spends infighting among itself, the less time theyre mounting a platform and message against the Dems. Trumps message is not the one they want to be disseminating publicly, but its the one theyre spending all their time and money fighting. by that measure hes absolutely hurting their chances, because his electibility is precisely 0% once the gloves come off. not to mention hes shitting on any chance of gaining traction among Hispanics, just as an example, who they'll need big support from to win.people like Trump and Palin could be Democratic plants for how brilliantly they set back their own party. Trump leading the polls now is like Herman Cain leading the polls in 2011.
