"Many people are asking," but there is no comment from the Republican Party

"There is no truth to the rumor that the Republican Party has decided to drop the elephant as its symbol/mascot, and will substitute the Swastika as something closer to its European Heritage [Sanskrit is more like it, but what's truth to a Republican?]," said a spokesman, who refused to give his name, as he was speaking "strictly off the record."

"Nothing has been yet decided," said the anonymous spokesman. "We could still end up dropping the Swastika idea altogether," he said.

End of the hour spent a lot of time explicating a video of '7 ILLEGALS jewelry store heist' - happy ending, they were 'charged'.

Then just 5 minutes on beginning of Manafort trial. Showing Kellyanne Conway declaiming the trial had nothing to do with trump or the campaign, just about Manafort not paying taxes before 'the campaign started'. then on to trump tax cuts and democratic opposition to cutting taxes . . . [same old alternative fact world].

Mr Trump personifies that HATE.

Since the party does not refute the hate that Trump sends out..., then the Republican Party is defining itself as HATE. That is what it is, and that is what the Republican Party will always be.......

Hate, hate, and more hate....
