Thing about Donald Trump. He never pretended to be something he's not. That goes a long way w/ Americans.
Americans hate that kind of hypocrisy.
But they hated it first under George W. Bush. The Bush Republican Party destroyed itself, spent $ like drunks.
Why do they think they can fix it?
They definitely won't do it backing self-proclaimed evangelicals who cheat on their wives, or dead-beat dads with ethics violations as long as Donald Trump's tax returns.
