The Republican Party today is not the Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, or Eisenhower.

They're the Party of Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, and yes, Donald Trump. They're the Party of Right-Wing Junk Food - with flavors like brusque racism, angry misogyny, contempt for poor people and other "Losers," meat-headed anti-intellectualism, and just general all-around chauvinism and jingoism.

Our unworthy adversaries. Fuck these assholes.

He would be considered too moderate by the standards of today's right-wing radical fringe leading the party.

Of course the democrats moved towards inclusion and sanity and the republicans have become the party of the whack jobs.
