Is Trump the new template for the Republican Party?

Even if Trump is removed from office (unlikely) or voted out of office (possibly), the message is clear to future republican leaders, particularly a future Republican in the WH: governing from The Base is the way to do things. Cut out everyone else. Whatever the Oligarchs want, give it to them. Congress is an enabler if controlled by Republicans and inconsequential if controlled by Democrats. How will the Republican Party return to the principles advanced by John McCain, Bob Dole, Dwight Eisenhower, etc.? How do you steer the ship around?

because this is what they want and the only cure is to destroy the Republican Party since it has become a cancer on the American political system.

How many republicans have you seen on TV lie to protect him.

It is not 1 or 2.

It is the majority.

They know he is lying.

They know they are lying.

Trump is the republican party and they welcomed him with open arms.

They are the enemy.

They are the greatest threat this country has ever faced.
