We like to bill ourselves as the world's leading democracy.......the shining
"city on the hill."  When someone like Donald Trump actually has a chance to be elected President of the country, that reputation is in jeopardy.  Never in our political history has a person so ill-qualified been nominated by a major Party.  Never has a person so morally corrupt been nominated by a major Party.  

IMO, Mr. Trump doesn't represent the values of American democracy.  More and more Republicans are now shouting "hey, he doesn't represent the values of the GOP.  More and more GOP leaders are fearful his "scorched-earth" campaign will cost the party control of the Senate and, possibly, even the House.  More and more lifelong Republicans are asking themselves "what on earth will happen to the GOP after November 8th?" Can the Party survive the candidacy of Donald Trump?  

  Hopefully, Trump will be soundly defeated and return to Reality Television and both American Democracy and the GOP can heal...
