...has been to expose the Republican Party for what it is.
They are no longer the Party of Abraham Lincoln. They are the Party of Donald Trump. Many have been slow to accept this "uncovering".
When their supporters march with tiki torches, in all their Nazi and White Supremacists regalia, to black churches, yelling epithets, the times have surely changed for the Party of Lincoln. Then, when Donald Trump fails to condemn the Nazis and Supremacists, no more proof was needed. The deal was sealed.
The sad truth is that the establishment Party in Washington does not have the numbers to stop this takeover of their Party. They are now within the minority of their own Party. They also do not have the courage to do anything about it. They are afraid of the consequences from Trump supporters.
They used to love to impeach Presidents. The one thing they were very good at was tearing down Democratic Presidents. They were ready to impeach Hillary Clinton, if she had won. But now, they are willing to look the other way. Their silence is their approval.

(11 posts)And I agree. This is exactly what I was thinking as well. Hopefully, we will all learn lessons from this mess of an administration and be a better nation for it in the future.

Howard Dean's yell in the primaries.
John Kerry's unforgivable Purple Hearts won while actually serving in a war? (I can't get that R convention delegate's image out of my mind with that insulting purple heart band-aid on her chin.)
That's the Republican MO - ridicule/insult/belittle nonstop while the hypocrites rattle their sabers for wars they won't fight themselves, and steal us blind for the benefit of their corporate masters.
