I made a recovering Republican think a bit last year. tRump pushed him over the edge. But he commented that it was something new in the Republican party.

I commented that they rolled out Palin in 2012. Newt was a complete asshole in the 90's. This is nothing new, just an ugly fat face at the forefront. Could tell it was a gut punch.
