    Lightbulb 'This is the new Republican Party'

    The final GOP holdouts to Donald Trump whimper into oblivion.


    Put a blond combover on the elephant. Take down the pictures of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.

    It’s over. It’s Donald Trump’s GOP.

    The anti-Trump candidates are fleeing, and the ones who stick around are getting trampled. The chill has gone out among whoever’s left: there’s no more speaking up, and if there is, it’s just for the sake of a speech, a protest quote that quickly disappears.

    They chalk it up to party loyalty, or staying unified for the midterms. They say they still believe in the principles, but they don’t tend to do more than say the words. Then, when the microphones are off, they confide. They complain. They nurse fantasies that there’s a reckoning coming, that maybe this will all end with the Republican Party nominating someone like Eisenhower. Or at least like Paul Ryan.

    And each time they watch another of their own go down, they wince, try to move on. Don’t look back. Try to forget.

    Deal with it, said Corey Stewart, the anti-immigrant, pro-Confederate symbols, new Republican nominee for Senate in Virginia: “This is the new Republican Party.”

    As for the people resisting, Stewart said, “They’re dinosaurs. They need to wake up and understand that President Trump has fundamentally remade the Republican Party.”

    Unlike most elected members of the GOP, I know that we've been at war for a long time.

    Thing is, the current GOP is the same as the GOP since Goldwater. They're just overt in their racist hideousness now.

    How pathetic it must be to have to support a creature like Donald Trump.

    The people doing it simply cannot have any self-respect.
