The Republican Party is offering us a disgraceful group of candidates for the Presidency, with most of them being an embarrassment to the glorious history of the party historically!
The Republican Party was the party of the Civil War and the end of slavery!
The Republican Party was the party, originally, of progressivism in the early 20th century!
The Republican Party was the party of moderate centrism, under Dwight D. Eisenhower, and offered many governors and senators who were moderate centrists or moderate progressives, in the image of Nelson Rockefeller, in the years after Ike was in the White House!
But since the time of Ronald Reagan, the Republican party has moved so far to the Right and been captured by Christian conservatives and Tea Party extremists, who have moved the party out of the mainstream. The party has allowed itself to be influenced by Fox News Channel and talk show hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, and Laura Ingraham!
So we have a group of candidates, some of which can be seen as the worst, most dangerous candidates imaginable!
We would include in the list of five worst, most dangerous Republican Presidential candidates the following:
Donald Trump
Ted Cruz
Mike Huckabee
Scott Walker
Rick Santorum
Any of these five would be especially threatening to the nation’s future, both in domestic and foreign policy! Luckily, only Walker, at this point, seems a real threat, but Trump is taking all of the oxygen out of the room with his divisive candidacy, including personal insults against all of his opponents.
In so doing, he is insuring a Republican party loss by a massive landslide in the Presidential Election of 2016!
