13. And like every Republican I knew, my Dad's family (except my grandfather) were Republicans

I cannot imagine even one of them giving Trump a second look, let alone taking him seriously. I still don't know how anyone who shared the values of George H.W. Bush, for example, can possibly support Trump. We know that Poppy Bush voted against him and Barbara Bush was extremely outspoken against him. So how can these Trump followers still call themselves Republicans?? And I'm including the senators who ostentatiously ignored the solid evidence against him presented in the impeachment hearings - that should have been a "slam dunk" - as the guy in the video said, they traditionally believe in laws!

And we know that Trump didn't start out being a Republican - apparently he espoused anything that he thought was expedient. So what's going to happen to the Republican party without Trump? Since it's turned into the blind-support-of-whatever-Trump-says-or-does-at-the moment party - and he's what his crazed cult followers believe in, not any principles or philosophy.
