Trump is the savior for the republican party.
He's the wake up call that it's time to start winning elections instead of gaming the process and purposefully losing. Hopefully we'll shed the dead weight that wants to wallow in self pitty and take on a new generation that realizes the republicans actually have a backbone again.
What are its new values, principles, and positions? Bombast, threats, cult of personality, and triangulation is not back bone. At best, it's populism. If that's the new republican party, I really will be done with them.
