If Sheriff Joe Arpaio or Sarah Palin were still alive, they would be disgusted by the modern GOP.

If Sheriff Joe Arpaio or Sarah Palin were still alive, they would be disgusted by the modern GOP. Ted Cruz must be spinning in his grave...



Every day I am struck by how radically the GOP has changed from 2015 to today.

The party is essentially unrecognizable from what it was when the 2016 GOP primary began.

They've been sending thinly veiled red meat to bigots and sexists ever since Nixon.

Donald fraud is different only in his lack of subtlety.

Secretary of God-Knows-What. Then it hit me. I bet Don came on to her. According to Michael Wolff's book Trump was telling friends that Nicki Haley gave him a blow job so, chances are, he also assumed Palin was a piece of meat free for the taking and made a play for her. It must be a real shocker when the likes of Palin is repulsed by him. LOL.
