It is a complete waste of time to continue to enumerate the many elements of the weirdness of Donald Trump. As historian Eric Foner puts it: “he is the logical extension of the way the Republican Party has been operating since Barry Goldwater. This is how the Republican Party has gotten votes for 50 years – Trump is just tearing off the mask.” And when the party leaders finally realized this, their epiphany miraculously changed “never trump” to “ever trump” without a blink of the eye.
