Agreed about Hitler. I was joking.

The Republicans almost staged a coup at the RNC. They couldn't believe he had made it. Ted Cruz was trying to gather elite Republican support to nominate Cruz. Trump supporters were rallying in support of their elected candidate. This is a fact. I've never heard of this happening in modern US politics.

The Democrats had polling stations rigged in swing states, but there were armed Trump supporters closely watching.

If this is "controlled opposition", then I don't understand the meaning of the term.

It may be that they've taken control of him, but that is a consolidation of elite influence in opposition to his original goals, and he's given up or negotiated for concessions.

My point is that there's smoke evidence that he was far from vetted. He says taboo things like how he's donated money to each candidate for favors, etc.

Its possible that he is, but this is a fairly unique case.

Please don't interpret this as me supporting his actions or candidacy. I'm just examining the facts as they occurred.
