Republicans are cowards. They're progressives in the same vein that Democrats are and they have nothing but contempt for their voter base. More disturbingly, they apologize for every minor offense either real or imagined by the people who hate them in the media. Republicans can't even stand up for their principles because, fundamentally, they don't have any which are entirely distinct from their supposed opponents: the Democrats.
Trump is a greedy businessman. Notice, importantly, that he is a man. This is a distinction because most politicians are absolute ninnies who fear the shrill demands of BLM activists more than they fear a nuclear confrontation with Russia over poor foreign policy.
I personally hope the GOP decays into a festering pile of bile after Trump devours it. In its absence, Americans can finally see for themselves the true meaninglessness of their electoral system. Maybe some will be unafraid to pull back the curtain just a little further and see a glimmer of the power structure that actually controls this country. Hint, hint...it doesn't care whether it's called "Democrat" or "Republican".

"In Egypt," says Clement of Alexandria, "the sanctuaries of the temples are shaded by curtains of golden tissue. But on going further into the interior in quest of the statue, a priest of grave aspect, advancing to meet you and chanting a hymn in the Egyptian tongue, slightly raises a veil to show you the god. And what do you behold ? A crocodile, or some indigenous serpent, or other dangerous animal, the Egyptian god being a brute rolling about on a purple carpet."
