Interesting, the Republican Party has become the modern version of the slave power the Party’s founders sought to smash. It took Civil War to smash the slave power. I have to wonder if the Republicans will realize they are playing with dynamite before it ignites and blows their heads off.

PS, what truly scares me is the Republicans and China. Putin is a small time operator. Sooner or later the Republicans will gravitate to the richer paymasters in Beijing.
