Dear GOP, Please Get Your S**T Together
The amount of falsehoods that come from far-right sources is astounding. The GOP has not been vocal enough to reject outright lies.
As a result, there are many Americans that are buying into the far-right propaganda that is responsible for a candidate like Trump.
A candidate like Trump should have never been possible. In an ideal campaign, I would like to see a GOP candidate that I disagree with on policies, but know that he/she has the character that is needed to work across the aisle while growing and protecting our nation.
I remember reading that the GOP would do some soul searching when Obama was elected for a second term. That seriously did not happen.
I have voted Democrat since I turned 21. I don't see myself jumping ship. But that doesn't mean I don't want the GOP to be a classy establishment. I root for GOP success in different degrees. I do that, so the American people don't have to be in a position like we are today.
Moderate GOP leaders need to speak up. They need to be loud and clear about what has transpired, and what Trump stands for. And if they are lucky, they might actually be able to produce a good candidate in the next 4 or 8 years.
