The GOP primary season has come alive, and the state of play is abysmal. Front and center there is Donald Trump, while everyone else, including a few real Republicans and several neo-con fakers, stumble along far in the rear.
And that’s a terrible shame. America desperately needs a return to old-fashioned GOP governance, yet Donald Trump is not remotely a conservative, let alone even a half-assed Republican. As it is, he fluked into the Oval Office in November 2016 and pro- ceeded to wantonly abandon Republican economic doctrine and badly tarnish the brand. But rather than showing him the door, the floundering remnants of the Republican Party have rallied to the banner of one of the most bombastic, egomaniacal, unfit mountebanks ever to appear on the American political scene.
So, what are the good people of the GOP thinking?
