Donald Trump has done something special: exposed the Republican party as, "The Selfish Party"

...Trump is the center of self-centered thinking. He thinks only of himself all the time. And since he is their leader, who is willing to step up and criticize him? For the good of the country, is anyone in the Republican Party willing to do so? No, very few critics of the selfish boss over there. Who is willing to tell the total truth about "Mr. Selfish? Just us. We all know the truth. Putin's toy. He cares only about himself and his applause.
..Sad, but think of it this way. Trump could be destroying the Republican Party forever. He is doing the world and the country a favor. He will get rid of himself, his family and the puke party. Oh sure, he will be on Fox fake news. But he is so bad, who is going to watch? Sure, his base, but they will fade away with the puke party. In not many will admit they supported the selfish asshole.

Reaganomics was nothing but a selfish money grab for the wealthy, "paid" for by deficit spending and couched in trickle-down, lift-all-boats nonsense.

Ditto Bush's tax cuts.

The Jesus I grew up with was not selfish and loved thy neighbor.

The repukes have made Christianity hypocritical.

to be found in this long national nightmare is the destruction of the Rethuglican Party. And all because they're so compromised (and blackmailed) that they have to acquiesce to a man-child who daily says the quiet parts out loud. Woop woop!

by supporting and enabling each other and Putin, resulting in a very public and transparent record
of their treason.
