The GOP has been wrong-headed and heading in the wrong direction long before Trump. Not a single candidate for the Republican nomination was respectable. The party you talk about at the beginning of this article vanished a long time ago — it started disappearing before Reagan. Reagan who committed criminal acts — Iran Contra — for which he should have been impeached.

Beyond that, Hillary is probably to the right of Ronnie. The GOP is and has been a joke dragging the country down for forty years. Denying climate change, human rights, living wage, etc.

Get over it. You have misguided for a long time.
