    I applaud her decision but I have to wonder what took her so long, it has been evident from the beginning Trump is not a republican nor a conservative.
    Better late than never can be said but when I once and only once said that to mother in an arrogant cocky manner she fiercely answered back “no you must learn it is better never late“.
    She did not abide with foolishness evidently a trait sorely lacking in parenting today, although she was I’m sure not the first to say that she was the first and only one to say that to me, timeliness is my watch word to this day, its benefits are profoundly profitable, her wisdom was and always will be of great value to me.

    The party will hemorrhage the best and the brightest, and its ruin will be a deserved fate.

    Yes, Trump will have destroyed the republican party. He’s rather proud of ti, if you ask me.
