The Non-Electibility of Current Republican Candidates
In my view, none of the current Republican candidates for the presidency is electable. How that party could have fallen so low, I leave to others to explain. What has not been noted, to my knowledge, is that the good old GOP is no more. From Mitch McConnell up (or down!) the Republicans are no longer participating in the running of the country, but are mostly abstaining (polite word) from doing what they were elected to do.
Will that change? Not bloody likely. The remaining Republican candidates for the highest office are not impressive (to say the least). Trump—successful while spurned by the GOP establishment—may sail to victory and that will be that: no chance of getting elected. Rubio is a paradicmatic light weight and Ted Cruz is a right wing crank that is not going far beyond Texas.
You’d think that as a life-long Democrat I’d appreciate this nadir of the Republican party. But the fact is that I don’t. I strongly blieve in the Two Party System and that is not what we are getting now. One party goes about its business and the Republicans don’t play. This will no doubt go on until the presidential election and if current predictions are valid, well beyond.
