All conspiracy theories are just plain crazy until one of them actually happens. Then you begin to wonder about the rest of them.
Back in the day when I was young, people called others "crackpots" and "off their rocker" for suggesting such crazy conspiracy theories. But I just hope my following theory is not true.
So here it goes. I believe that Donald Trump is not an anti-establishment guy at all. The GOP establishment is not frightened of him either. They have made him desirable by running him as the outsider, when all along they will get what they want!
The GOP establishment is truly hoping that he will win because they know he is a true liberal like they are, and yet he will still want to make sure the rich continue to be rich, especially himself. Of course, the liberal GOP folks still love their money and want it to keep coming in!
I was thinking about how incredible it is a liberal like Trump could even run as a conservative. Then it hit me; he must have made a very nice backroom deal with the liberals that dominate the GOP. (Yes, it's liberals that dominate the GOP; why do you think they also put forward Bob Dole and John McCain?)

The GOP knew that they couldn't run a liberal because of the conservatives in the GOP, and they also knew that they needed to tap into all of the anger many conservative GOP folks have regarding their lack of representation in Congress and their extreme dislike for our current president.
Also you would have to provide a candidate that is more than willing to say anything to the American public and say really outrageous things that pandered to the more extreme right. Never mind the fact that all of a sudden Donald "I love New York" Trump has become more conservative than Ted Cruz. Seriously? Who are they trying to kid? Apparently, they've already fooled many conservatives! Christian conservatives no less.
If you vote for Trump, you are really voting for a liberal who will make the country even worse than it already has become. I hope none of you is fooled by this very elaborate form of political smoke and mirrors. If you want a liberal candidate, then I guess it's a win-win. You either get the ultra-socialist Sanders or the very liberal Trump. Many of the liberal Democrats have been fooled so much by the outrageous statements of Trump, that more Democrats than ever will go to the polls. The conservatives will put him in because he pandered to their fears and anger. So either way a liberal will most likely be elected the next president.
As I said before, I hope I am wrong, but I probably am not.
