The first Republican debate was held on August 6, 2015. It was hosted by FOX Noise. From the very first question it was obvious that the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Reince Priebus, and FOX Noise President Roger Ailes, had conspired to derail Donald Trump’s campaign. Personal attacks by FOX stooge Megyn Kelly continued throughout the evening. The result; Trump’s poll numbers rose the following day.

For the next eight months Priebus continued his efforts to end Trump’s candidacy. The RNC made every possible effort to insure the party’s candidate would be Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio. When failure was the only result, a last effort was made to support Ted Cruz in a desperate effort to prevent him from obtaining the necessary 1,237 delegates. Although millions of dollars were spent on ‘anti-Trump’ ads, the RNC’s final effort failed. Today Trump is the party’s standard bearer.

All of this does not prevent Priebus from being a hypocrite. “You know what, I think something different and new is probably good for our party. Look, I don’t think anyone predicted what happened. So look, we’re here. We’re going to get behind the presumptive nominee,” said RNC Chair Reince Priebus in an interview with CNN Wednesday morning. Really?

This is pandering to voters in the worst way. Priebus can only blame himself for the creation of “Trumpenstein,” and the eventual implosion of the Republican Party. He fails to face reality; Trump’s success is the result of poor leadership for the past eight years.

The Republican establishment, led by Priebus, John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell failed the American people and created gridlock in Congress. A regressive pattern was not ignored by the American voter. Trump’s supporters are sending a clear message to Republican leadership that it is time for a change.

Priebus is a weak and untalented leader. After another Republican loss in 2012 he promised Republican voters that the party would change. He admitted that it must appeal to demographics other than older white men and women. The outcome of his statement was a return to the status quo.

In November, women, Hispanics, African Americans, the LGBT community, and millennials will be at their polling locations in large numbers; and they won’t be voting for Donald Trump.

While Bernie Sanders’ campaign inspired millennials, the GOP ignored them. It was revealed a few days ago that millennials now outnumber baby boomers. It’s ‘out with the old, in with the new.’

Women voters are a growing bloc; single women now joining their married counterparts. Trump will lose to women by enormous numbers. Approximately 78 percent of women say that they will not vote for Trump.

Trump has offended most demographics, and has sealed his own fate.

Republicans can thank Priebus for the creation of “Trumpenstein.” His creation is viewed by people all over the world as a racist, bigot, and misogynist. Thanks to him, America is not viewed as a great nation. The rest of developed nations view America as a backward nation which fails to believe in equal rights for all of its nation’s people.
