    Trump exposes the GOP’s weakness more than its ignorance
    Matt Bai July 19, 2016
    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-exposes-gop-weakness-more-000000674.html

    To me Matt’s last line says it all about what’s behind the rise of the D’ump (contraction).

    ” To Wehner, Trump represents the struggle between two competing segments of the party, one enlightened and the other ignorant.

    ” To me, he represents the decline of parties altogether, and the growing window of opportunity for any protagonist who can hold our attention. “

    Of course the Democratic Party would be way ahead if it’s central thrust were re-building high union density (ya know, making union busting a felony — in whatever states were amenable — if somebody would only raise the issue; haven’t heard a whisper from Berni or Warren).
