While I agree with the lack of leadership at the high posts, I find the rest of this post and the whole thread to be problematic...
First, I find it interesting that the term extreme far right is applied to Republican voters when all of those making the accusation are supporters of extreme far left views. Obama's socialism and allowing world organizations to direct US activities is only not the farthest left you can go because of Bernie Sanders...
Second, Trump is less than a desirable human but at least says what he thinks and acts upon it. The voting public - especially conservative Republicans - were fed up with electing officials who said what the voters wanted to hear to get elected only to fail to deliver the promise. So, there is a lot more to casting a vote merely to oppose Democrats.
If conservatives wanted more of the same, Jeb would have gotten the nomination or any other so-called establishment offerings. They were rejected soundly. The only people not realizing this are those same members of Congress who think they can weather the Trump storm and return to the whole way of doing nothing and preserving their positions and perks.
We talk about holding people accountable and Trump is doing that which resonates and encourages his voting base that things may change finally.
Do you realize that during my entire voting history the issues discussed in campaigns have remained virtually unchanged? Doesn't that lend itself to raise the question of why not? Tax reform, civil rights, gay rights, abortion, protecting the earth have been tossed about for decades with no consensus resolution in sight. I am convinced there is too much money and power involved with various "issues" to allow for agreement.
