Martin Longman says that having Trump for a president is like being an abusive relationship. I think that's not quite right, though the dynamic is at play.
The GOP is in an abusive relationship with Trump. He is destroying them and everything they stand for, but they will never leave him. Once he's dead or out of office, they will turn on him, as they mostly did with Dubya. If the Democrats sweep into control of both Houses of Congress next November, we will start to hear whispers about how Trump was never a real Republican. Those whispers have already started among the Libertarian/Neo-Con set that never really warmed to him.
America needs a center-right party to function, though they should be punished for foisting this orange fartblossom on us. I think 20 years as a minority party in all levels of government should be sufficient to root out the rot.
