    “You know how you make America great again?” Graham asked in 2015. “Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” Then, on the same day Trump essentially clinched the GOP nomination, the senator predicted, “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…and we will deserve it.”

    And he was right. Trump has completely destroyed the Republican Party. The house that Reagan and his 11th commandment built is now a structure fire.

      Trump has completely destroyed the Republican Party.

      Not only has he destroyed the Republican Party, he has inflicted significant damage to the very fabric of the United States. He has sown discourse discord, conflict, and division that could take decades to undo. How sad.

        Controversial opinion I don’t think he did honestly. I think his damage was short term. He busted open a lot of bullshit and made it clear why we shouldn’t be this way, and I think seeing voters in the last two elections has made that clear. We’ll see if the momentum continues but Americans made it clear tbh, we ain’t into it.
