GOP's about what's right for themsleves

Posted August 29, 2016 1:00 am

Republicans tolerate Trumps bigotry against Muslims and Mexicans, his insults of women, denial of climate change, acceptance of Putin's aggression against Europe, birther comments about our first black president, belittling a disabled reporter, lack of understanding of foreign affairs, lies about the economy, disrespecting Gold Star mothers and the military and threatening Clinton with Second Amendment solutions.

Why do right-wingers allow Trump to destroy the Republican Party? Maybe he can still win if Fox News and Rush Limbaugh shovel enough stuff about Hillary? More likely, they want to stay connected to the donors, lobbyists and Wall Street billionaires. They can't afford to jeopardize the flow of funds to their campaigns and conspiracy books sales no matter what Trump says.

Republicans are selfish zealots - only worried about themselves; not about what's right, not what's good for the party, not what's good the country.
