LA Times Editorial Board: "Trump is the only man in the presidential race manifestly unworthy of holding a position of power,
and has no business ever returning to the White House. If the GOP had any decency left, its members would be discussing whether to dump Trump for a candidate who isn’t out to bulldoze democratic institutions in favor of autocracy."

The Republican Party has no decency left...and maybe they never had any to start with. So, of course, Trump is their man.

Class whatsoever, no morals for selecting this man as the front runner. Out of all the people they pick this impeached loser.

The Party which advocates for Trump advocates for unlimited power to manipulate everyday life. There is NOTHING civilized about that. Any GOP candidate for any office must be viewed as part of the corrupt whole and a threat to American democracy.

...running on the end of American democracy is beyond disturbing. The Heritage Foundation had groomed/discovered some of them before they were initially elected needs to be exposed. The NRA perfected the practice of using primary elections to oust 'disloyal 2nd amendment' repubs in safe seats. The oligarchs honed it until only toadies get there in the first place. That's why maga candidates keep losing. Their answer...just get rid of real elections.

How is this lunatic getting a pass? Our press thinks it’s just fine that abortion is going to be banned, LGBTQ+ people and Muslims are going to be put in camps, and, Trump is going to have dictatorial powers? I feel like this country has gone insane on how silent the media is about Trump.
