Others warn that doing so might backfire at a time of soaring anger toward political insiders.

and the Tea Party. (They are 1 party)
Own up to it and be proud of the hate and divisiveness you have caused.
Trump says in public what you cowards say behind closed doors !!!
You party is truly despicable.
Trump represents you perfectly.
