    Uh... I would say the GOP is right in the thick of this mess, Alan.
    I think that's a bit of a stretch UL, but whatever. Trump has never been a Republican, this administration is an anomaly

    Uh, dude... your statement is missing a key component: Truth.

    Trump is a Republican President. He was on the top of the GOP ticket in 2016. You must remember this, right? You remember when he got nominated at the RNC? The "R" in RNC stands for Republican.

    You simply cannot deny the reality that Trump is a Republican President.

    Regardless of whether he meets your criteria of "Real Republican" the reality is that every other republican politician now has to decide whether to stand with him or stand against him. There are pluses and minuses to both choices and the better politicians will try and find some way to sort of float in between both options and hope that neither side notices that they're being played.

    I would like to try, though.

    seriously, it is hard to pinpoint Trump political ideologies. We kind of had to elect him to see what he believed in. But that doesn't even work so well.

    We had to elect him because HILLARY was the best the democrats could offer. Well, not really, but it was her turn and Bill did promise her he'd do anything to get her elected if she just stood by her man, plus Bernie had already promised to throw the nomination to her before he realized by some miracle his socialist ideology was selling big time, and then Comey threw her under the bus and Putin was driving and ran her over.

    I'll bet you thought Bernie was a Democrat.

    I won't nold trump against the republicans i have known over the years unless i specifically know they supported him. I have a couple who did, Most of my conservative friends also do not see him as a real republican.

    In years past i wiuld have ignored a rally like this, however i am concerned enough about what they are doing that i would be there peacefulky and protectively.

    My DH is a Republican but did not vote for him and I am glad. It would have been difficult if he had. Bernie would have made a much better president then either Hillary or the orange one.
