    Republicans haven’t had any principles since 1868, beyond kowtowing to the Robber Baron class….

    Personal gain, toadying for the 1%, isolationism, racism and sexism, the list goes on and on.

    The Republican party that mustered the courage to compel Nixon to resign by informing him that he would not have their support in his looming impeachment could not have known that it had already been fatally poisoned by Goldwater’s Southern strategy as well as Nixon’s dirty tricks..

    This played out through Bush senior pardoning what history shows was worse than Watergate in the Reagan Iran Contra cover up, on through Bush junior’s war crimes (which we seem to be the only nation that can’t see them as such), to the illogical but inevitable conclusion of corruption and collusion in Trump..

    The spectacle of Trump’s 2016 campaign caused the few remaining principled Republicans to transcend the primary process and speak out against Trump’s vile campaign tactics and repugnant behavior.

    They were labeled ‘never Trumpers’ and drummed out of the party by a leadership that, from the Southern strategy through the Republican revolution and down the Tea party toilet, had flushed principles in favor of pandering to a rabid base of useful idiots..

    They could not comprehend that they had just given the idiot savant of pandering the keys to the kingdom..

    The end of Trump’s nightmare reign of reality show vitriol will come, but this will not end the downward spiral of American politics.

    Even as the minority party, the Republicans demonstrated throughout Obama’s presidency that they have no compunction about ‘burning down the government’ – and that was when they were still pretending to be principled.

    If we somehow manage to elect the most principled and diligent president, they will find that it is much harder than anyone can imagine to govern when one of the two parties that have been governing since the Civil War has thrown out the window all pretense of respect, decorum, civility, responsibility, accountability, reality,…..

    We’ve had our Reichstag fire – we just don’t realize it yet.

    From REPUBLICAN Senator Daniel J. Morrell of Pennsylvania: In his first speech in Congress in 1866, Mr. Morrell uttered the following plea for labor: “The American workingman must live in a house, not a hut; he must wear decent clothes and eat wholesome and nourishing food. He is an integral part of the municipality, the State, and the Nation; subject to no fetters of class or caste; neither pauper, nor peasant, nor serf, but a free American citizen. He has the ballot, and if it were possible it would be dangerous to degrade him. The country stands pledged to give him education, political power, and a higher form of life than foreign nations accord their laborers, and he must be sustained by higher rates of wages than those of Europe. Our industries operated by American citizens must be freed from foreign interference and organized into a distinct American system, which will exact some temporary sacrifices but result in general prosperity and true national independence. In maintaining diversified industries we utilize every talent, provide a field for every capacity, and bind together the whole people in mutual dependence and support, assuring the strength and security of our Republic.” No better definition of the protective policy of this country was ever written.

    THIS IS WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY USED TO BELIEVE!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THEM???

    Maintaining power at any cost is the only principle the Republican Party still believes.

    It’s all about money and power. Trump is mostly a useful idiot, a blinding distraction while the dirty work goes on unimpeded in cities, counties and states. Vote against Republicans at all civic levels. Our country and freedom depends on it.

    “In many ways, Trump’s casual viciousness is now an inextricable part of his brand, the attribute that many supporters love and that his critics hate,” The Post noted.

    “Trump” is not a “principle”, since Trump himself is entirely UNprincipled.
