We expected a goat fuck but this is really something.

Romney calling Trump 'phony,' urging Republicans to shun him

This is simply not done in GOP circles.

For decades, the Republicans have tolerated and encouraged the right wing goofballs and courted the racists.

But now, they have had enough.

Evidently because this time the intruders are into the tent and it very seriously impairs the workings of the Party.

I would normally say, "pass the popcorn", but it is hard to take delight in a mix-up that threatens the one side of the two party system in our country.

The thing about Trump is that he has taken the normal Republican line and has used boldface and italics to emphasize its underpinnings.

To be fair, there was a time, in my life span, when the South was Democrat to the core. Then, things changed. The Democrats would no longer tolerate that kind of thing within its Party. So the "whacko-birds", to use John McCain's term, went right to the GOP.

Now, Trump is a new amalgam. All those "birds" have come home to roost in his rhetoric.

There was also a time when the Democrats were viewed as harboring dangerous "progressives". In the early part of the Fifties, it was the Democrats who were accused of harboring the fringe. The "reds".

I suppose this is always going to happen. The people at the margins are going to come out for every election and try again.

The fail, like Ben Carson, the black right wing guy. A rich doctor who evidently lost sight of his heritage.

Trump is not, in truth, a Republican. He is a plutocrat taking advantage of the open system elections to push an agenda.

I will not go "there", meaning the place where many dictators have started from. The finger pointing, the accusations.

There is a lot of anti-muslim feeling in this country. Remember when they hurled that epithet at Obama.

If I were Muslim, I would be a little scared of the Trumpfer.
