A great quote from the article that sums up the state of the GOP today:
"Before Donald Trump, the Republican Party was a majority conservative party with a white nationalist fringe. Now it’s a white nationalist party with a conservative fringe."

3. I think that they (gop) is already well on its way to destroying itself as a
