One of the things certain republican candidates are doing is trying to walk a thin line between supporting the president and claiming he doesn't represent republican values.
In other words they want to eat their cake and have it too.
They want to get the votes of his supporters, but then (wink, wink) tell the voters who are repulsed by him that they can still trust republicans to do what's right for the country.
There is no real evidence that they will control the dontard, because he does represent what the republican party has become.
One of the criticisms you used to hear was that the two major parties were essentially the same on most issues with a few variations.
However, we now see a republican party that has aligned itself with the homophobic, misogynistic, racist, hypocrites of this country and some of their voters are repulsed.
To some extent republicans have been running on a fear platform, convincing voters that threats to their way of life were all around them and they had to defend it.
These threats were represented by groups such as immigrants or Muslims or any of those groups that were trying to live the American dream.
That message resonated enough, combined with the negative image that was painted of the democratic candidate to let a representative of this hateful message get elected, barely.
All of a sudden the policies started to reflect the idiocy of these views in a way that was chaotic and distasteful.
The party didn't change him, he changed the party.
Time to see who is staying soon.
