The love or leave it rhetoric gone racist is just the latest example. He has corrupted the Republican party something I never thought possible given their history of dog whistles and cynicism.

from those who are just politically expedient or are essential members of their "tribe." Amash George Will and Jennifer Rubin come to mind as members of the former. The latter are being corrupted more than they already were.
