President Obama summed up the bankruptcy of the modern Republican party in one concise statement in an interview with the New Yorker. "Donald Trump beating fifteen people said less about his skills and more about the lack of skills of the people he beat...Donald Trump is not an outlier; he is a culmination, a logical conclusion of the rhetoric and tactics of the Republican Party for the past ten, fifteen, twenty years". One of the major parties in our country is now controlled by a racist and xenophobic supporter of Russia. And apparently very few members of that party have the willingness or the guts to stand against what their party has now become, either through fear for their own jobs, the raw desire for power, or, even worse, agreement in principle. The party has long stopped believing in democracy and now we will all pay the price for their cowardice, greed, and indifference.
