re: Here is what has been wrong with the Republicans

I totally agree. I will tell you what else he has done besides set a new tone: he gutted the Dem platform and used it against them. They have been giving lip service to blue collar and black voters. Trump is making them his main focus. He sign an EO for HBCs that the 1st black POTUS never did. Obama cared more about the environment than his own people. Trump has the union bosses scrambling. His message is so appealing to there constituencies. That is why they are trying to brand his a Rusky and Racist to combat those two democratic shifts.
