I've also compared it (with help of @KevinFranck) to a Sopranos "bust-out." GOP is Davey Scatino's store. @davidfrumhttps://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/795304324414873600 …
One way to think of Trump campaign: they treated the GOP as a 1980s style leveraged buyout: junk finance, followed by asset stripping.

@davidfrum Smart take... actually applies to GOP's treatment of US Gov't just as well. -
@davidfrum@Lastcalldave Another way to think about it is an old school Mob "bust out" of a bar. Run up bills you don't pay, then strip it. -
@davidfrum@ChrisWarcraft don't forget debt financing and eventual bankruptcy -
@davidfrum@wemesq I've been trying to come up with the proper analogy. That one's quite apt. -
@davidfrum so you're saying Trump transformed the GOP from the party of no to the party of woe? Agreed. -
@davidfrum And don't forget the inevitable stiffing of lenders & creditors as Trump walks away largely unscathed. -
@davidfrum Old GOP out its a new day! -
As if the GOP has assets.
That's the first funny thing you've said in easily a decade.
@davidfrum@ChrisWarcraft -
@davidfrum Leaves shell of organization when finished. Forgot that part.#TrumpsterFire -
@davidfrum That's a nice metaphor. -
@davidfrum This is a grave insult to private equity. The worst LBOs were far more productive than the Trump campaign. -
@davidfrum and sold those junk bonds to unsuspecting rubes. -
.
@davidfrum That is honestly exactly what Trump is doing. -
@davidfrum@iHiD@JulianAssange called it Correctly & The Court of Public Opinions says Jail Her! -
@davidfrum@JuddApatow Trump leveraged racism and xenophobia. Stoking that in the GOP primary gave him majority ownership for a buyout. -
@davidfrum@ChrisCuomo I wonder how much he paid his businesses. I guess we have to wait for the forensic work to get done. -
@davidfrum "Corporations are people, my friends." It's not that big of a leap for them to treat the Republican Party like KB Toys. -
@davidfrum +the GOP thinking somehow that it isn't a leveraged buyout, allowing hope that maybe, just maybe, investors will make something…
