Are Donald Trump’s insults part of a master plan?

After watching all the ruckus about Donald Trump and his racial, misogynistic comments, I can’t help but offer my opinion. Is it possible this is a well-thought-out strategy, planned out by the Republican Party, to make all of the other contenders for the Republican nomination (there are too many to list here) seem more moderate than they really are?

After listening to Mr. Trump’s rantings, Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz sound like they really care about women and minorities. Just a thought!
