Donald Trump has used the presidential primaries to purge his party of dissent. Republicans have lost the capacity to serve as a check on his power.

    Trump is a symptom not a cause

    The money and power and wealthy that hold the keys to the party are the ones that are causing this.

    It’s like watching a house fire and blaming the one dumb kid who said he did it when he had nothing to do with it and everyone ignoring the maniac with a flame thrower spraying napalm on the house.

    The GOP has been the party of conmen since Reagan, so Trump is nothing new in that regard.
