If your party is likely going to lose because it supports destructive and unpopular policies, there are two ways to win instead - switch to supporting constructive and popular policies, or cheat.
Trump and the Republicans have chosen cheating.
That says everything that really needs to be said about them.
They chose that long ago.
Practically everyone in Washington has, as a matter of fact. There's a reason they listen to consultants about how to fool the people instead of listening to the people about what they want and then delivering it. But the modern GOP has taken it to a whole new level, yes.
