2 Views on Trump and Republicans

  1. Trump should be fought tooth and nail because he brings out the worst in Republicans.  For example, there are racist and violent elements in the Republican base, and Trump legitimizes these elements and brings them to power.  Get rid of Trump and people will see that such behavior cannot be successful in our country.

  2. The country indeed has racist and violent people, and the Republicans have been playing with fire for decades in courting and encouraging these people.  Trump is a particularly inept figurehead for the Republican party and exposes their weaknesses.  Get rid of Trump and we may get something worse, especially if the replacement is weak and of questionable legitimacy.
