Letter: Desperate GOP continues to amaze

(Mic Smith | The Associated Press) In this Dec. 7, 2015, file photo, Republican presidential candidate, businessman Donald Trump, speaks during a rally coinciding with Pearl Harbor Day at Patriots Point aboard the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2015, rejected Trump's recent statements about Muslims, saying Israel "respects all religions" as he faced calls to call off an upcoming visit by the Republican front-runner.

OK, let’s see now. Since Trump has become president, the Republican Party has gone from ... the party of “no” (obstructionists), to the party of “none” (as in any significant accomplishments since taking control of all three branches), to now the party of the hard up (“vote for Roy Moore, an accused pedophile, so I can get my Republican tax cut passed”).

Don’t get me wrong, since January, when I went to the sidelines, (knowing full well there was nothing this idiot could do that would affect me personally), I continue to enjoy this Republican “show,” and remain amazed that just when I think the Republican Party can’t get any lower or more desperate, they continue to surprise me.

I guess, with that in mind, it could be argued the party is capable of accomplishing something.
