The problem is that there is still five republican candidates against two on the democrats side, GOP should have shaken out the chaff by now. They are a splintered party, and Trump is filling a void, they should be less worried about defeating Trump and more concerned with what their constituents want.
There has been much second-guessing lately. Why didn’t party leaders stand up and try to stop Trump earlier, while there was still time? But how could they have? Trump was feeding off forces in the party they had helped nurture and that they hoped to ride into power. Some of those Republican leaders and pundits now calling for a counterrevolution against Trump were not so long ago welcoming his contribution to the debate.
Uh...."Party leaders" are the problem. Of course, few expect the Obama- and Clintonphiles at the Washington Post to acknowledge that. Obviously, the liberal electorate won't, either.
So true. If the GOP had just gotten on with it and worked with the president instead of acting like little children, they might have a viable candidate to represent them. Instead they took a vow to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. Lol.
Now they will have to work with either Trump (who just stated that the reason Romney lost was Paul Ryan), Hillary or Bernie.
The article's author really becomes unhinged when he writes nonsense like this:
Then there was the party’s accommodation to and exploitation of the bigotry in its ranks. No, the majority of Republicans are not bigots. But they have certainly been enablers. Who began the attack on immigrants — legal and illegal — long before Trump arrived on the scene and made it his premier issue? Who was it who frightened Mitt Romney into selling his soul in 2012, talking of “self-deportation” to get himself right with the party’s anti-immigrant forces? Who was it who opposed any plausible means of dealing with the genuine problem of illegal immigration, forcing Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) to cower, abandon his principles — and his own immigration legislation — lest he be driven from the presidential race before it had even begun?
---------------------------------------
No one is attacking legal immigrants. However, we, as a nation, simply can not continue to take in 1 million legal immigrants per annum as we don't have unlimited natural resources or buildable land.
Being against illegal immigration does not make one "a bigot" as there is nothing bigoted about expecting those who want to come here to do so in accordance with our immigration laws. The author is another one who deliberately blurs the lines between legal and illegal immigration.
As for Rubio, he was originally against amnesty. Then he joined the Gang of 8. The part about Rubio abandoning his principles---he had no principles to begin with.
---------------------------------------
And then there is more nonsense:
Then there was the Obama hatred, a racially tinged derangement syndrome that made any charge plausible and any opposition justified.
---------------------------------------
Did it ever occur to the author that the dislike of Obama had nothing to do with his race? Instead, it was his policies that caused the dislike.
I love my old pals from high school in the bible belt but they have embraced the ignorant side of themselves willingly by voting fro Trump and I just hope they are joking and funning and not really serious about supporting him.
Both the GOP and the Dems have failed America.
So we have Trump.
Don't like it?
Too bad.

It was more that self-satisfied smirk and phony-baloney, "goody two shoes," narcissistic, "I'm so young and cool and beautiful and enlightened," finger-wagging, know-it-all-(when he knew nothing), affirmative-action-entitled, school teacher, "vote for me because I'm black"
approach of his.
Weren't the seas supposed to stop rising the day he got elected?
Exactly why was he awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for doing exactly nothing?
