The Republican suicide has been a gradual process that, I believe, started with the Clinton administration. I think that’s when the RINO factor became really obvious and worsened from that point on. RINO = a Republican politician that promises something during election time then forgets it once elected. The broken promises were paralleled by zero push back on leftist gains.
Now RINO’ism has evolved to the point of not backing one of the greatest Presidents in US history. They have the chance to save America, and choose to save their own sorry asses instead.
I’m from a red state, and the senators in particular are keeping as quiet as possible while Trump endures one of the harshest, bold faced frontal assaults ever launched on a US President.
The sad part, is if Trump does lose out, his own back stabbing RINO party will blame him for their own failure. Many will cross over and support Biden policy. Future elections will be a waste of time. We will be so screwed.
For so long many would say the Republicans need to grow a spine etc etc.
I woke up from that and realized that many if not most are part of the swamp. It’s corruption, not weakness.
The swamp has been good at taking over just about everything. Its not hard to figure they went after the Republican Party as well.

I have no doubt that the GOP throwing in with the coup in 2017 will be looked at as one of the great pivots in all of American history. So much was lost when Ryan, McConnell and the rest of the GOP chose Team Anti-America. We much teach our children of this betrayal and they must do likewise.
I believe Ghw shrub started the decline towards a republican in name only party when Reagan was forced to accept him on the ticket to get the nomination in 1980.
Bump! Very well said.
