We never seem to tire of attaching any policy we don't like to the political party that least fits our personal bias, and I am certainly no exception.
What I am observing currently is the Republican party becoming a magnet for disparate groups having one thing in common, a distaste for government, but otherwise incompatible. It's no surprise there is even more chaos among Republicans than among Democrats, our traditionally more chaotic political party..
These groups the Republican Circus has cast their tent over include the Tea Party, the Libertarians, and the Evangelicals. They hold conflicting views but are united in their distaste for government, which they often refer to as "big government." They are given to comedic belief in conspiracies. Their solutions -- get rid of the Fed, the IRS, the EPA, the Dept. of Education, but expand the socialist VA and the single most inefficient department of government, the DOD.
Hardly ever do they mention what the fallout from their proposals, if implemented, would be, or how they propose to deal with it. Their proposed cures would be far worse than their imagined diseases, which they have yet to identify in other than the broadest of terms and have failed to articulate. In fact, their candidate, Mr. Trump, has proved even less articulate then the single most inarticulate President of modern times, G.W. Bush.
Like a pack of blind hyenas, some of them want to repeal Roe v. Wade and un-fund planned parenthood and Headstart; yet single mothers having "welfare babies" out of wedlock are a prime targets for their vitriol. The want to round up, in their words, "millions of illegals" -- or in their candidate's words, "rapists and murderers" -- "streaming" across our "open borders"; yet, remain oblivious to the many, and increasing numbers of, deportations of criminals in the past few years, and the tight border security now in place. They want to lock up Hillary before she has been charged or convicted, and send Obama "back to" Kenya; yet claim to be for "Law and Order". They will vote for a man who has put forth insane proposals (a wall that Mexico will pay for). And even the evangelicals among them will vote for a man currently named as a defendant in several child rape cases.
There is little that makes any sense about the current Republican Presidential campaign. That's to be expected from a pack of incompatible hyenas led by the most disreputable candidate of any major political party in the last 116 tears (at least!).
