I understand your sentiments, but respectfully disagree a bit in that Trump has changed the GOP, many of the RINO’s left, and the national party seems to be far more organized, aggressive, and smart.

Trump is in a far different position going into November than we faced in the mid-terms when we had the mass exodus of the corporatist GOPe types. The democrats have done nothing with their time in congress beyond investigate, harass, and harangue. They will have a candidate at the top of the ticket with little appeal outside of deep blue urban areas and Trump is killing it.

Conventional wisdom says you are correct, but Trump has turned that on its head. He is gaining strength and momentum and his coattails will become longer because of it. Imagine what he could accomplish with both houses of congress!

So does an inside view of the GOP. Some of my relatives worked inside various GOP offices in DC. I don’t think you would like the reality of what goes on and how beholden the GOP is to certain moneyied interests that have tremendous influence in the party.

Basically the GOP exists to support them, not us. Trust me on that. And make no mistake about it, the GOP considers (and resents) Trump the Outsider.
