"The real question is this — how much do the Republican elite, who have been displaced by Donald Trump truly hate him, and is it more than they hate Joe Biden." I think we all know the answer to that. All the so-called republican moderates who clutch their pearls and hope that disgrace of a human Trump doesn't get the nomination quickly follow that up with "sure I'll vote for him if he's the nominee." The whole party is a failure and the old guard may not like his tactics and antics but they do love his policies and judges. I'm with you, how can half the country, seemingly fairly logical and rational people, still vote for this criminal. It boggles the mind. The only conclusion I can come to is he makes hate okay, that is the simple truth of it. Their party is bankrupt of ideas and policies and has resorted to outright hate and bigotry. What was once not said in polite company is now plastered on the nightly news, in the newspapers and all over the social media landscape and Trump revels in it and makes it okay. Yes, sadly these are our neighbors, relatives, educators, etc. full of hate and bigotry. How else do you explain the endearing loyalty of MAGA world to a man with no policies, ideas, platform, plans, experience, success, or decency? Sad, sad times.

Nikki Haley will get buried on Super Tuesday, and she will get crushed by Trump in her home state of South Carolina. Like almost all of her fellow candidates, she will then bow before the altar and announce her support of him for President.

I can't quite believe that we are just a matter of a few hundred days away from potentially voting an anti-democratic election denier back to the White House (and I am convinced that if he does win, he will never leave the White House again), yet here we are.

Your comment is truly terrifying, and, I fear one hundred percent accurate.
