Holy crap! I never thought I would see the day

when the Republican party lost control to this degree. We are watching a real realignment of one the country's oldest parties.

1. Really scary now. Donald Trump has full reign now.

No one to stop him.

[Hortensis]

7. The Donald doesn't even have full control

of himself. We'll stop him. That's our job. AND all the rest of the electorate, including those capable of responsible choices in the GOP.

2. People are fed up on both sides.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Both parties are doing that

one is far more obvious, that is all.

And your party will get a slew of moderate republicans. Enjoy your new members.

[CoffeeCat]

4. Absolutely. Major paradigm shifts in both parties

The Republican shifts are like a volcano--mainly because Trump is a big, massive explosion of crazy.

The Democratic shifts are more like seismic, underground movements of foundational fault lines. Make no mistake, "The Big One" is coming.

5. Yeppers.

Truth

6. He'll get worse now.

Everyone is afraid of him. The Republican politicians are terrified he'll ruin them if they speak out. The Party leaders are scared of losing power if they try to stop him. Journalists are shaking in fear, too frightened of losing their jobs when the angry, pitchforked mobs turn against them if they dare criticise Trump. And the Republican voters are too stupid to realise what any a future awaits with a thin skinned bully like Trump steps unto the world stage.

That leaves Hillary as the lone fighter to save us from the rampages of Trumpzilla. I sure don't envy her.
