Establishment Republicans could be convinced to show some reciprocal respect for their voters’ wishes.
Professional Republicans’ sustained contempt for the electorate has been infuriating. For this reason, there was a time when candidate Donald Trump was more “murder weapon” than presidential dynamo in my mind. I loved what he had to say in the lead-up to the 2016 election, and I believed he was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale political pantomime.
