What sensible and rational republicans need to do is stand up publicly to trump. However, as been seen on social media especially, to do so invites the destructive and heinous wrath of the less than intelligent trump fans. A party ruled by fear.

Why would we want to stand up to Trump? He's doing everything we ask.

You do not speak for the entire GOP, maybe just the sycophantic trump fans, at best.....limited to this forum.

"By contrast, one of the great virtues of the American system of separated powers is that voters, usually, can ignore party affiliation if they feel a candidate is worth their support. Our model forces the legislative and executive branches to seek separate mandates from the electorate. In our system, voters can separate the party from its leader. They can split their tickets regionally, nationally and by party. They can even vote for divided government, and choose to place the executive and legislative power in opposing hands.

For now, however, those days are over — at least for the Republican Party. Rather than acting like a national party, entrusted with separate but coequal branches of government, the GOP at every level and in every state has been captured by the personality cult that has congealed around President Trump, and it is now operating like a parliamentary party, utterly submissive to its erratic but powerful prime minister. Republican elected officials, from Congress to the state houses, have chosen to become little more than enablers for an out of control executive branch.

The only way to put a stop to this is to vote against the GOP in every race, at every level in 2018. It’s tough medicine. But as someone who’s voted Republican for nearly 40 years, who favors limited government and public integrity, and who believes America still needs a credible, responsible center-right party, I see no alternative."

The only way to save the Republican party is to crush it,and then rebuild it back into a viable functioning body, that focus's on the principles of the Republican party--and not a popularity stardom contest. This country has elected a man with the emotional stability of a teenage drama queen with a 7th grade understanding of U.S. .policy, and no one can keep him in check. Trump is a National disgrace.

Are you saying we need to eliminate the "personality cult" that has so infected Maryland for generations that we chose a Moderate Republican for Governor, who will be elected over another Progressive socialist, who would not only tax the rain but the air as well?

[Anathema]

Who the hell wants Republicans to be a Center-Right party? Being such is why they lost Presidential elections in 2008 and 2012. It would have cost them 2016 as wel if they had run any of the 15 other options than Trump.

No, you were not. You're lying.

No fucking way, I like low taxes and jobs a plenty...

I agree. I voted early and voted straight Republican.

I sure don't want my taxes raised and that just what Pelosi promised if the Dems win back the house.

 

[Dana7360]

I'm with you. I've thought that I could support a Republican candidate if they demonstrated the good parts i see in my Republican friends like being conscious of the deficit, competition, rule of law and justice (even against tax Dodgers and big business), results based policy, environmental sustainability, etc. These are things that a moderate could support. Isolationism, the rights identity politics, climate denial, sustainability denial, supply side obsessed, anti consumer and workers rights. I cant back that stuff and more. I think if the GOP wants a better play at the independents, they should drop as much of the latter items I listed as possible.

I've been a registered Independent since I first registered to vote in 1978. I was 18. I've voted in every election since then. I've split my vote between different parties, not just democratic and republican, all my life.

The republicans have sent me and millions of other Independents running from them in horror.

I've already voted.

I voted straight democratic blue this year and am proud of it.
