Trump has, essentially, declared war on the Republican party. Ryan and his allies are trying to save some semblance of organization post-election. Trump's candidacy brought out in the open an uncomfortable reality that a significant portion of their base really are deplorables. I see, in this election, a potential bloodbath. Trump supporters expressing their ire by not voting for down-ballot candidates; loyal Republicans not voting for Trump, but still doing straight-party ballots otherwise; a depressed turnout, and dispirited support in the future. How do you all see this proceeding post-election?
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
