The Republican Party as currently constituted is an existential threat to American democracy
.
The Republicans, facing a loss on the presidential level, are already staking out their position in the (almost certain) election of Hillary Clinton. John McCain had a Kevin McCarthy “speaking the truth” moment when he recently stated there was no way the US Senate, if it remained under Republican control, would consent to any Supreme Court nominee put forth by Hillary Clinton. The marker laid down is clear: obstruction, delay, de-funding, government shutdowns, anything to make the government and Clinton fail. This then is the mantra of the current Republican party.
