The present day republican party is the result of an unholy alliance between "christian" conservatives and multi-national corporations:  A little American populism in exchange for "free market" votes on the part of people who should know better.  They've been banging each other in boardrooms since the eighties and Donald Trump is their love child.  Reagan would be horrified, but that doesn't seem to stop them.  Trump's been trying to throw the election but his base won't let him, and now he's actually entertaining the idea of  really being president, ever since a corrupt democratic party threw the primary to hillary.   Good news:  After Obama, it really doesn't matter who has to be president.  Bad news:  It hasn't mattered for some time, and we're just cheering for the lesser of two evils, and we know it.
