They pandered to religious lunatics to win elections and have now been pushed into insanity by the 24 hour fake news cycle. Fox/hannity/rush all peddle false situations to control people via fear. We are left with a large base of fanatical, uneducated, angry people that simply need someone to direct their hate. Enter Trump.
Indeed. Trump is just the accumulation of everything they have been doing for 3 decades with the rise of AM right wing radio then Fox News and then these hate right wing rag websites (who have the audacity to call themselves "journalism"). Like you said it's all about using fear and emotion and I see this all the time from the Trump cult here on CD. The cult believes only white straight (Republican) Christians deserve any rights (these are the true patriots of the country) + as long as I got mine FU + scr*w you all.
All presidents, if they are strong - for whatever reason, in whatever way - become the leaders of their party by the second year. Nothing dramatic, nor blockbuster, or exciting about this coming to fruition for President Trump. Indeed, most presidents become their party.
So, other than President Trump has had to fight not only the opposition party, but his own as well to establish his leadership.
My comment is based in reality and , like most things you post, yours is not.
So is mine. You are firmly in denial if you didn't recognize the obedient and evangelical behavior of the Obama-ites. (Psst, he was a false prophet. Time will tell about the current one)
Hope there are still some rational Republicans left who remember when the GOP was rational, too.
What has become of the Republican Party?
The Republican Party is organised around one man. That is dangerous.
The Economist
The organising principle of Mr Trump’s Republican Party is loyalty. Not, as with the best presidents, loyalty to an ideal, a vision or a legislative programme, but to just one man—Donald J. Trump.
they are still there... still moderate right..... and yes have been infiltrated by the farther right conservatives
just like the democratic party... true democrats are still moderate left.... and the democrats were infiltrated by the extreme left fasco-socialist liberals
now instead of spamming these wonderful boards, with nothing but negative vibes, why wont you clarallel, take a chill pill and do something positive, instead of being a negative nelly
I wish the media would discuss the failed promises of the Establishment Republicans. The Establishment Republicans over the past 30 years promised their voters that immigration, free trade, globalization, and tax cuts would enrich all Americans and make their standard of living the envy of the world. That didn't happen and instead income inequality has worsened and wages stagnated during that period. When Republican voters questioned the wisdom of these policies, they were shunned. Now, the backlash happened. Establishment Republicans have to realize that they have to deliver what they promised and in this case, all those policies mentioned had to lead to wage increases and general prosperity. Basically, the voters are sick of being bamboozled.
The truth is boomer conservatism (Limbaugh, et al) is a kind of lazy, boomer-tier, 90 IQ dogwhistle to white people who recognize that diversity is code for anti-white. These boomers are controlled by Jewish handlers (who are also ethnonationalists..but for their own tribe) and so they have to dog whistle in embarrassing ways.
You can ask a leftist what he believes and he'll tell you. Ask a boomer conservative and they'll give you ten pages of incoherence about law and order, the constitution, etc. because the boomercon cannot intellectually comprehend that what they are really talking about is White identity politics.
Whites deserve their own homeland, and that is something that a boomer conservative knows in his heart but can't get himself to say.
Utter nonsense. You've been reading too many comment sections of inflammatory, clickbait articles.
By golly, you can switch some words to: 3 Networks/CNN/MSNBC/Maher/Late Night "comedians"....
and the last word to: Obama...
and your comment would have exactly fit in the last administration as well.
As the saying sorta goes, same shyte / different year.
Actually, no. There's no equivalence.
One easy comparison is the number of protests that Trump has generated.
Another is to note the rise of wacko conspiracy theories and Trump's perpetual whining that he's being treated unfairly.

YOU, of all people, trying to give instructions to the Republican party. I would think you would be celebrating its demise.
Personally, I like where the country is headed. We need The Wall, and DACA needs to be dealt with, but other than that, I'm happy.
A Republican was elected, and that was the main thing.
