I can go with this, sureIt is less restrained. Both by its own ideas of "decency and civility"
I absolutely agree that Trump cares nothing about the Christian base that traditionally supports the Republican party, c.f. his promotion of AIDS in Botswana, but warmongers?and by the dumb PR/outrage grovelling schtick that crippled them before, let alone by the fundies and warmongers of the past who made the party so despised under Bush.
Is there a neocon that Trump hasn't appointed? Is there anyone who's decent and pro-American worker, pro-peace who stood up for him at the start that he hasn't stood by and watched destroyed? Why hasn't Mike Flynn been pardoned?
Why won't he appoint Kris Kobach to protect American workers?
Trump's least bad appointee has been Robert Lighthizer, who only seriously pushed for labor and environmental protections to make manufacturing in Mexico rather than the US less cheap for US companies after unions forced congressional Democrats to stand up for American workers. If Trump's GOPe and its Paul Ryan agenda hadn't botched the midterms by refusing to actually push for radical reforms in favor of the American worker*, none of that would have happened.
* to be clear, that should start with cracking down on employers of illegal immigrants, rather than pardoning the few who actually pay a fraction of what they deserve for their crimes
