Yes, and quickly and clearly failed--because a huge GOP base WANTED TRUMP, not only what they perceive he stands for, but his behavior, his style, his flouting of civil norms.

So why is THAT not a grassroots change? Low-energy Jeb, little Marco, lyin Ted (and his "ugly" wife), all swept away--by what, a revolution from the top? 

So what "alliance of convenience" will end when Trump is gone? There'll still be this mass of MILLIONS who want what Trump promised--the wall, the bans, the police brutality, the dismissal of diplomacy and allies, the expulsion of brown people, jailing of political opponents, and exploding liberal heads. And they'll be angrier if he loses a "rigged" election. THEY'LL be choosing whom to ally with again, right?

Why should anyone "attempt to refute" the GOP platform has remained unchanged?  Still not down with "marriage equality" and they don't even want to change it from 2016; that's how little it really means.  Are you trying to argue that platform is some kind of ballast which will right the party when Trump is gone?

But no--the Dem party is the one driven by a grassroots revolution in your view, the one that picked a moderate, "safe" presidential candidate, who promises a return to normalcy and stability, to actual governance. Don't look at the behavior of MILLIONS of Dem voters nationwide. "Look at Portland" as Trump tells us. That will be Biden's American.

No sign at all that the ongoing the disaster of Trumpism troubles you, but sharing Trump's fear of "the left," you embrace his prognosis for "Biden's America."
