The Republican Party as we know it is not in the least bit representative of its voters/supporters/constituents - except the donor class.

At least on the federal level - some state and local parties are, thankfully, actually doing what they are in business to do.

So...SCREW the GOP as we know it. It has LIED to us - REPEATEDLY. Anyone with an employee like that would fire him or her in a heartbeat.

I say that the GOP should nominate Trump. It will show the VERY stark difference between where Republicans stand - on the side of unashamed patriotism, protecting national interests at home and abroad, a strong military, (mostly) traditional values like honesty, hard work, thrift and abiding by the law. Many Americans not presently associated with the GOP will find (and have found, so far) that such positions resonate with them. That’ll broaden the Party’s appeal, perhaps ushering in an era of mostly GOP control of the levers of power - until either we screw it up (again) or until the Dems figure out that pandering to every wilting flower or rioting animal, and adhering to every single philosophy that sounds great in a college classroom but doesn’t actually work in the real world, just isn’t working for them - and they return to the Democratic Party of Truman, Humphrey, Scoop Jackson and Sam Nunn.

We are losing our civilization. The freaks that rioted in the streets 40 years ago are now in charge on the other side, and our side SAYS that we oppose them but, in reality, does nothing to stop them and actually conspires to pull the wool over the public’s eye with the freaks. If we are EVER going to save America, the America that the Founders constructed for us, and which our parents and grandparents struggled to keep, make better and gave to us - NOW is the time. We are on the cusp of not being able to save it - the ship of state is headed, full steam, for a gigantic iceberg that is in plain view, and all that the political class can do is argue over who gets a front row seat and how much it costs.

ENOUGH!!!! Time to ditch P.C., time to CUT - actually cut, not Washington, D.C. cut - spending to the bone and at least come close to balancing our budget, time to re-build our military to WIN wars in our national interest - and ONLY those in our national interest, time to repay our vets with respect and decent medical care that is needed because of what they did for us, time to stop being the world’s refugee center and return immigration to what it once was - a boon for our economy, because we only took in people who wanted to abide by our laws and contribute to our society. Time to stop being the fool of the world and start having a coherent foreign policy that works for US - not the rest of the world, and ESPECIALLY not for one world government of any kind. Time to benefit OUR people, time to use OUR resources (abundantly provided by G-d, which our technology now allows us to profitably use). Time to stop treating the citizens of this country like bothersome subjects, and start treating them as the boss of government. Time, in short, to reverse course on most of what has happened in the last 50-60 years in government.

Trump is, IMHO, the only person who has any realistic chance of getting that process started. 8 years isn’t enough to finish, but it can give us a good start, and the breathing room to make a few mistakes here and there, which is inevitable - right now, we have no margin for error. Time to restore America and, YES, TIME TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. I really don’t care who does it or who gets credit for it - I just want my country back, the can-do, strong and moral country of my youth. Time to put the hippies and the freaks into the zoo, where they belong, and stop having them control our destiny.
