There are some who hold out hope the Republican party will go back to being a conservative party if Trump is defeated/
Do not count on it.
Remember Bill Clinton. He was impeached upon the findings of special prosecutor Ken Starr. ( He who examined issues way out of his brief but di not think Muller should.)
The impeachment was led amongst others one person who was indulging in adultery at the time and another who had had a child form a woman who was not his wife. He said this was an indiscretion of youth except he was over 30 at the time!
The republicans never accepted Bill Clinton winning. They thought it only occurred because of Ross Perot. Unfortunately for them Bill Clinton was far superior in politics.
Come Obama and it was a similar thing except they had no specious reason for that. The worst thing the Republicans did was in the courts. They di not allow Obama to put many judges on the court below the Supreme court. ( yep that is stacking the courts).
They of course did not allow Obama to put a judge on the Supreme court when an incumbent died on February. They completely changed their position when one died this year.
Finally we have Republicans indulging in voter suppression. In Texas if you wish to vote beforehand you have to drive some 80k in some cases. They also wanted a lot of votes cast disallowed on very specious grounds.
Think of it a major party is so scared of losing they indulge in nothing less than voter suppression.
Just on absentee/ early voting some states allow votes of the military at least a week until they stop allowing votes to be counted. How is it the Republicans believe this is allowed for the military but but private citizens?
The Republicans embraced Trump because that is the way they behave now'. Oh for a modern day James Baker.
I hope there is a landslide just on this issue.
