The major political parties in this country are simply ‘dance partners’. The Dems lead the dance and push the country leftward. The Pubs get in there only when the Dem agenda is temporarily unpopular, but do they ever ‘lead’? No. They just mark time until the Dems get back in. It’s a ratcheting effect. The reason the elites are so po-ed is because a majority of Republican-voters gave Trump the nomination, and he was shrewd enough to peel off some Dem voters in neglected states. The dance has temporarily been derailed.
Exactly. Ratcheting DOWN.
Reagan also temporarily derailed the dance of two steps backward into the left and no steps forward into the right.

The GOP was all for the “Big Tent” until it elected Trump on them. LOL
