At its core, this is about the bizarre Republican Party. 
They have built a coalition of decent business people allied with an assortment of dangerous white power religious bigots, and of course, "Donalds" who love gold and power and the ability to force others to bend a knee.
Thanks to the Republican Party we were treated to Nixon, who made sure peace wasn't attained in the Vietnam War until he gained office letting thousands of American troops die, Ford, who lied when he said he wouldn't pardon the crook Nixon, the first Bush who sent a staffer to tell Saddam America didn't care about Kuwait, to George W. and his administration of horror with the illegal war that created ISIL.
Now we have precious Donald, who is even worse than the boy-king, George W., for I am convinced Donald is allied with Putin.
I have no respect for the Republican Party nationally, and fear that this time, America won't be able to toss out the presidential enemy of state.
