Tom, Your articles have already explored at least tangentially the idea that the Repubic Party stunk long before T-Rump entered politics. I would like to see you explore this idea more fully. Ray-Gun's campaign was a cruel ideology. How is it that T-Rump with only an idiotology has such a toehold on the Re-Pubicans? Clearly the Party was smelly before FDR. I am sure there is a common thread(s) tying Jackson, Johnson, Coolidge, Ray-Gun, and Bushbaby together. The obvious culprits are crony-capitalism and racism. FDR seemingly pulled that fabric apart for over a decade but crony-capitalism and racism are still stinking up our world. As the Koch, aka Crotch, brothers and other big money schemes start teeing up Haley, it is clear that T-Rump was merely their puppet.

It's not good, but fondly, that you remind me of my uncle who had creative nasty labels for every category. As daughter of a mother who was "Bircher but died a Birther," yup, the ol' stank is not new. Therapeutic book: "Conservatives Without Conscience," John Dean. That answers your "how is it?" question.

Thanks for the Dean reminder.
