Amusing to watch a former Republican admit the party's failure, but who still doesn't realise the slope the party is on commenced long ago.
The party that lied their way into the Iraq War and abandoned science in favour of faith in the Bible and a brutal form of capitalism was setting up the underpinnings for Trump. Boot was one of the last people to see what was happening.
"In March, after Trump declared a state of emergency to build a border wall, only 13 House Republicans voted to defend the Constitution. I described this as a “declaration of moral bankruptcy.” Four months later, that looks like the good ole days." - Max Boot.
