“ The Repukes will NEVER toughen up.”
Republicans CAN’T toughen up, it would mean changing the fundamental nature of what they are. They are now and have always been in it for the easy payola. That’s who they are fundamentally.
Instead, they need to be taken out as collateral damage when the people rise up to destroy the leftists. I’m sure, in an aftermath, rebranded Republicans will return, slink back in, snake oil salesmen always do.
Reagan couldn’t change the GOP. Nor will Trump. Trying to infuse principles, convictions and courage into a soulless party is futile.
Years from now the GOP will still be the same old empty party. If Trump wins the election he should focus on establishing the foundations of a new party that actually stands for something. The GOP will never be that party.
