I agree that the GOP is in the middle of a civil war between the conservative elites and their base of "poorly educated" "deplorables". The based were never conservatives, they cared more about being white than any policy issues the elites care about. The civil war started when Obama got elected. The elites had spent 50 years promising their base that any body black would ever be president. Then the base figured out that the elites invited all that illegal labor here for fun and profit. That made sure that the GOP base would revolt. When they won control of the House and Senate they were suppose to get rid of Obama. That didn't happen and enraged the GOP base. Trump has spent his entire life take advantage of people. He can spot a mark from a mile away. He loves the "poorly educated" because they are so easy to con. They even send him money. He only loves one thing, himself.
