Everything had to fail for Mr. Trump to rise.

You know all the failures, but since we seem to be quoting Uber drivers this cycle, I’ll offer the thoughts of one I talked to in Providence, R.I., a month ago.
She’s for Mr. Trump. Started out against him: Who is this guy, he’s a TV star. But she listened and thought: Yeah, I agree. She knows he has an unusual biography for a president. She said most of her friends have experienced the same arc from skepticism to support. She told me her reasons, the usual, but then said something poignant. This is from memory, not notes, but I’ll put it in quotes for easy reading: “Every four years we’re serious, we try to get it right, we do our best to choose the right guy. And nothing we do works! Bush, no, Romney, no, Obama’s a disaster. But we did our best! And now we’re thinking ‘Nothing worked. Take a chance.’ And if he’s no good we’ll fire him in four years.” Will the GOP Break Apart or Evolve? - Peggy Noonan

Your Say

How, tell me, could a political association such as the GOP, evolve? It is a completely corrupt and criminal operation and cannot be changed for any moral purposes. And yes morality is what is absolutely necessary to rebuild the Amerikan political society. The entire fed gov is a rotten, non repairable cesspool.

Every single fed gov agency, department, secret operations, etc., etc. must be demolished/crushed with all employees included. Not repairable in any stretch of the imagination.

@Terry, except for the first 2 sentences, I agree.
It's not just the GOP, it's the whole thing.

All of it was built on an ASSumption, stood upright on a foundation of sand. It long ago fell over and has been sinking ever lower since.

Don't let it drag you under.
