"How has a sexual assaulter, a convicted fraudster, an alleged insurrectionist, a hoarder of classified documents, and an election denier all but sewn up the Republican nomination for president?" The answer lies in the utter spinelessness of the Republican party. There's an old saying 'If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything' (Gordon A. Eadie, not John Mellencamp!)) It is quite apparent that the Republican Party lost its way back around the time of the Reagan presidency, if not sooner, and it has been wandering around in the dark ever since. At one time, children,. believe it or not, the Republicans had definite positions on any number of things - education, the military, expansion of cities, building and maintenance of the railroads and thousands more. They had ideas about proper governance and both social and political agendas. Alas, all gone. For decades now, they have substituted 'anything other than what the Democrats want' for actual ideas, solutions for problems, and a framework within which to work with Democrats for the success and betterment of our country. They have retarded development and progress at every turn all that time, believing in nothing but their difference from the Democrats. This has made them weaker and weaker, and less and less able to think of new ideas to propose, so they have spent most of the last 40 or so years turning inward, contemplating their collective navels and murmuring, "Not a Democrat, not a Democrat" in place of any sort of positive thought. They have become the scourge of our country, the main roadblock to solving our problems, moving forward and dealing with the future as it rushes toward us. They both allowed and created the festering cesspit which is Donald Trump today, and they will reap the whirlwind for it. They are riding him to November, hoping for victory, or salvation, or something they can't define or explain. It is up to the rest of us, not just the Democrats, to put a stop to this anathema.
