No one in today’s GOP can rightfully call themselves a Republican. They are a group of obstructionists and extremists who have no right to claim to be members of the party of Lincoln. For that matter, they have no resemblance to Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, or George H.W. Bush. The members of the GOP today are “Republicans In Name Only.”

Those who love to call themselves “conservatives” are also misleading Republican voters. Today’s ‘conservatives’ are too extreme to wear that label. They are in fact ambitious men and women who can be labeled “reactionaries.” They have moved too far to the right, and cannot and will not perform the jobs for which they were elected. This is the group which would call Ronald Reagan and George H.W. bush RINO’s. In fact, Reagan’s policies would be considered Democratic today.

Today’s “pretend Republicans” would heavily criticize both or 40^th and 41^st presidents for working across the aisle. They would denounce social programs supported by both men. Today’s pretenders would be angry with both former presidents for their concerns about the environment and rising gun deaths. Both Reagan and Bush would be shunned when they gave amnesty to millions of undocumented workers.

If you are old enough to remember when the Republican Party stood for something; you know that I’m right. Today’s group is destructive. They complain a lot, but have no options to replace the many things they claim to dislike. They are not legislators, they’re “grifters.” They’re happy to take taxpayer’s dollars, but do nothing to earn them.

I would like one person to honestly claim that Donald Trump is a Republican; he is not even an American. He doesn’t believe in the Constitution. He is openly racist; considers women second class citizens; and believes that Christianity should be America’s only religion. This is not American.

One of the reasons Trump defeated the 16 other passengers in the clown car, is because Republican voters were unable to find a true Republican among them. Voting for Trump was a protest, and that protest is beginning to crumble. Sadly, it’s too late for the GOP this year.

So remember; when you go to the polls in November, and you see a candidate with an “R” next to his or her name; that person is most likely not a Republican. He or she wants your vote. They want to be wealthy and live lives of privilege. They won’t represent you.

Trump’s a “loser;” and “I’m with Hillary.”
