10. Every step of the way, the GOP godfathers had the means to stop this madness. And they did not.

They could have refused to let him run as a Republican. They could have stood up in defense of their traditional candidates (any or all) instead of watching while Trump picked them off one by one. They could have stopped him at the Convention -- seriously, they had the means. And finally, they could have at least tried to work on the Electoral College.

My husband and I watched Trump's progress last year, absolutely sickened by both him and the Republican Party.

Since then, it's been the gutting and downfall of our country's most cherished institutions, with the complicity of the GOP in Congress.
