Well, I left the republican party long before Trump. But... I still run in republican circles and regularly attend GOP functions. I have seen so many psychos gather in one room.

The hold that Trump has on much of the Republican party is sickening.

I walked in wearing my Reagan/Bush 84 t-shirt one day.. and an older lady said to me (keep in mind, I'm 38yo), thinking I was making a fashion statement, apparently... "you're too young to know anything about Reagan. but let me just tell you -- never in my entire life did I think we'd have another man like him again. A man as honest and godly as Reagan was. Or as good at his job!"

I just stood there in utter shock. And disgust.

I just went and sat in the corner alone for about 45 minutes trying to process what I heard.
