Things are this bad, fellow citizens.
Matt Mackowiak, a conservative political and communications professional, went on a tweetstorm Wednesday warning Republicans about the dangers of Donald Trump, saying “The GOP has a drunk driver at the wheel, chugging vodka, and he’s got other people’s children in the car. He must be stopped.”
Mackowiak is no liberal. From his bio, “From 2005-2009 Matt served as Press Secretary to U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) from 2007-2009. From 2005-2007, he was Press Secretary to U.S. Senator Conrad Burns (R-MT). Before moving to Capitol Hill, Mackowiak spent time at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a political appointee, in the field during the Bush-Cheney 2004 re-election campaign, traveling for the White House advance team, and at the international public relations firm of Burson-Marsteller.”
Hang on tight:
11/ Race will freeze in August. Olympics start Friday. Trump is down 7 right now and things are getting worse fast.

12/ No reason to believe Trump will improve, pivot, get serious. Believing that would require willing suspension of disbelief.

10/ Options for replacing Trump, if he made the right decision limited to: Romney, Ryan, Cruz, Kasich and Pence. All improvements.

Hoping to assist Donald Trump to a graceful exit (which is more wishful thinking on Republicans’ part, Donald Trump will not go quietly):
8/ Trump needs an exit plan where he saves face. Protecting him from an embarrassing loss will have some appeal. But he has to be convinced.

Mackowiak is hardly the only Republican speaking up. Jeb Bush’s national security adviser went on a very sobering tweetstorm Wednesday:

Republicans with integrity are alarmed. They were alarmed before Trump’s speech today.
After listening to Donald Trump’s Wednesday speech in Florida, I am compelled to say that he needs medical intervention, and this is not a joke or meant as snark.
There is something very wrong with Donald Trump.
