Why is the Republican party so afraid of Trump? Or does it just seem that way?

Trump "cut the line" to contend for the presidency. These fucks in congress are only for themselves and not the people what so ever. They will cater to what ever group with what ever bullshit as long as it gets them votes to get rich while sitting on their ass selling out future generations of our children. We need more rich people like trump love him or hate him that say fuck you to the old way of letting these people fuck us over.
It's ever evident since they can almost guarantee a win from trump, but do everything in their power to shit on him and cut him out.

They owe their detonators the destruction of the country. Continued immigration of unskilled illiterates. Continued ignoring of bribes. Continued treaties that rape the economy. Endless wars that dont benefit us in any way. NSA spying. etc.
Georges Soros has publicly stated he's working to destroy the USA because it stands in the way of his profits. Others are working to the same end. All of them have the other republicans in their pocket.
Trump will actually try to make things better. At least that's his platform. The others are trying to spin the destruction of our nation to sound like it's something we should want, so they can live with themselves when they ruin it.

Source on Soros saying that? Not that I think he's a good guy or anything but that's pretty extreme.

Because they don't think Trump has a shot at winning the general election. Trump has pissed off the Hispanic and women vote, and those are huge voting blocks to alienate. Winning the Republican nomination with crazy right-wing Christian voters is one thing; Independents make up 43% of all voters, and most are left-leaning and surely won't vote for a radical Trump.

Silent majority.
