Let’s take back the Republican Party

“Your a traitor, you abandoned Trump” read a recent fundraising message to Republican donors. That single line sums up what is seriously wrong with the Republican Party. It has become a cult of personality rather than a party of political ideas and ideals.

How did such a person born with a silver foot in his mouth inspire such unquestioning loyalty from so many. Has he ever driven his own car? Has he ever denied himself or exercised self discipline? Has he ever felt hunger or cold? Or the threat of homelessness or unemployment? Or is he just a want-to-be tyrant dressed in a business suit frustrated by not having the power to execute his enemies?

It’s time for decent patriots to awake and take back the Republican Party or lose it forever. — Larry Baumbach, Chico
