(4,490 posts)I'd feel a bit better if they'd choose the guy who much less likely to be a child rapist, and hasn't bragged about sexual assault. I'm bothered how many people on the other side are totally okay with that.

(54,330 posts)Boris Karloff couldn't have played the role better.
Nixon brought Roger Ailes on board, and gave him his (im-)moral compass, and, two decades later, Rupert Murdoch gave him unlimited funds with which to accomplish the goal. Twenty years after the creation of Fox "News" and the surging proliferation of National Hate Radio, the Republican Party is no longer the party epitomized by Dwight Eisenhower, Everett Dirksen, Nelson Rockefeller, Jake Javits or even Gerry Ford. Now, it is the party of Louie Gohmert, Paul LePage, Rick Scott, Scott Walker, Joni Ernst, Tom Cotton, and, yes, Donald Trump.
Dimwitted demagogues, oafs and crooks, with considerable overlapping--that is what they have become, and apparently two thirds of their rank and file thinks it's wonderful.
Maybe twenty years of a damage control channel called "Fox Remorse" could repair some of the mental rabies with which they have infected their masses, but not only do I doubt it, I can't imagine why anyone left in that party would be in the slightest interested. If an extremist like Paul Ryan can seem "reasonable" by comparison to the rest of his party, he's probably thinking he'll be on top of things if he survives, and will leave behind nothing but an unenviable, worthless political wasteland if he doesn't.
If that's how he sees it, he won't hear any contradiction from me.
