The Republicans that provided the rational and steady course for the Party have all fled or been bludgeoned into silence. The Party is pretty much dead.

The GOP is dead. It's the Trump Party now. The sooner that the NeverNever Trumpers figure that out, the better @bulwarkonline
@bulwarkonline you continue to pretend that Trump is an aberration instead of the culmination of decades of dog whistling to racists and pandering to religious nuts.
