As the final months play out before the presidential election, it’s clear to see the Republicans deserve to lose. Donald Trump doesn’t, but the party does. The Republican body in Washington, right down to the voters, just doesn’t grasp how the (dirty) game of politics is played. Nature has proved any creature that can’t evolve soon becomes extinct. So it will be with conservative Republicans.
“A house divided can’t long stand.” This describes the Republican Party well. Regrettably, Republicans retain this thread of moral fiber, which causes them to “strain at the gnats” Trump forces them to swallow. Indignant, they defect or sow seeds of dissent within the party, as did Romney, “dividing the house.” They lose focus on that, if Hillary Clinton wins, they will be forced to ingest camels on a regular basis.
Republicans are slow learners. Behold how Democrats during recent hearings (reflexively) defended Hillary, saying the hearings on Benghazi, classified email leaks and lying under oath as being “political theater” and a waste of time and money. To refer to such “extremely careless” behavior that puts the whole of America at risk as “political theater” in defense of Hillary is un-flinching loyalty to their party … of which the Republicans could only dream.
We can suppose Trump to be bad for America whereas Hillary has proved it beyond any doubt.
Even up against such a blighted opponent as Hillary, Republicans have resorted to cannibalism within their party. Behold … “The stupid party.”
