FRiend Lodi, allow me to caution you against falling into the trap of defeatism that I just argued against.
I see your point, but I would hesitate to condemn the entire GOP.
I will grant you that the GOP has forgotten how to win — beaten down by the communist media for generations, they are afraid of their own shadows and afraid above all of being called “racist.”
But everyone loves a winner, and more to the point, weak-willed people will sometimes find the gumption to follow a winner. And Trump is certainly a winner.
