    He’s no Howard Roark. The real Howard would have blown up Trump and let the pieces crumble to the ground, salting the GOP and preventing any growth for 50 years.

  3. “…his record of accomplishment…”?? Assumes facts not in evidence. Oh, that’s right, turning the United States into an international laughingstock, bankrupting the government with an ill-advised tax cut and demeaning the office of the Presidency every day? Yep, those are some “accomplishments.”

  5. GOP wins elections when they’re about ideas

    Also when they are “corrupted by fraud, improprieties, and irregularities so pervasive that its results are tainted as the fruit of an operation manifestly unfair to the voters and corrosive to our system of representative government, or ”plagued with problems that placed inexcusable and unjustifiable burdens on the right to vote,” or have a voter base that believes in fairy tales like “We’re clearly better off because of [Trump’s] record of accomplishment.”
