Donald Trump: the kiss of death for his supporters

Donald Trump's friends in the Republican party are few and marginal. Not only that, but he's having trouble lining up anybody to speak at his convention in Cleveland.

Which makes sense. After November Trump's name will be mud in the Republican party, and anybody associated with hm might as well face the fact that his or her career is over.

Trump is an anomaly in the history of the party of Lincoln and TR and Ike and Reagan. And once the nightmare is past, anyone associated with him will be a political pariah.
