I do not dispute this.This is my point; Republicans who identified with the Grand Ol' Party have no support for what the party has become. The Republican party of Eisenhower has been destroyed in our lifetime. It has been taken-over by crass Christian fundamentalists, NRA fanatics, New York corporation executives, and what have you. It is a shame.I did not imply that you admire Trump but to clarify the issue. If a person thinks Trump is great then this defines a Republican.People who admire Donald Trump are Republicans.
Who said I admired Donald Trump? Isn't that a rather presumptive thing to say?
Hardly. There are plenty of Republicans who can't stand the Big Orange. Some of them (thinking George WIll) have abandoned the party altogether for its bending over for him.
Rump's appeal is purely emotional, not political. As his own fraudulent "university" told its henchmen in its playbook, "you don't sell solutions-- you sell feelings". That's exactly what Rump did in every speech, every interview and every tweet. Quite a few Republicans were and still are intelligent enough to know a con artist when they saw one.
Well hell, Barry Goldwater saw that coming. Rump didn't bring that in -- it goes back at least to Jerry Falwell.
