That's true, and also funny. But your post was obviously crafted to imply that because a person of low character was nominated in one specific race, that "the Republican Party" isn't what it used to be.
No, this isn't about one specific race. It is a trend, which is why Bolling said what he said.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

At the State of The Union, which side stood up and cheered low black unemployment, which side sat there with scowls on their faces?

The only trend, is the downward trend of elected seats held by democrats.

And you know exactly what was going on, just like the state of the unions for the last president.
I suppose the republicans sat then because the president was black?

Have you noticed pretty much everything Jim says critical of Dems the Repubs have done just as much of if not more? For as much as he says he despises the President's personality he sure acts quite like him.

I have said again and again, there is tons of hypocrisy among Republican politicians.

"For as much as he says he despises the President's personality he sure acts quite like him"

ZINNNGGG, boy you sure got me with that one.

No, that is a trend you want to acknowledge. There is also a trend that the majority of American's vote for a Democrat for president. Lots of trends out there we could bring up. Don't get me started on trends in the sloth community. Doesn't mean there is not a trend in the type of candidates nominated in the republican party. There is, as is acknowledge by the former Republican Lt. Gov.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

"There is also a trend that the majority of American's vote for a Democrat for president"

Utterly meaningless, as Trump didn't waste his time in NYC or California because of the electoral college. If it was a popular vote, he would have campaigned differently, and who knows how it would have turned out. I can't say he would have won, you can't say he would have lost.

If you count votes in a way other than the one way which determines the winner, Hilary won. Big whoop.

Show me the evidence that there is a "trend", and not just a few jerks here and there.

"as is acknowledge by the former Republican Lt. Gov"

and that's good enough for you? How do you know that he is qualified to correctly identify what's a trend, and what's not? Answer - you agree with what he said, therefore it's true.

There's no shortage of jerks on my side, no question. Are there more than there used to be? Maybe, maybe not. Just because one guy says so, sure doesn't make it true.
