The party has known it lost control since Trump started to gain support as a candidate. You could say the Tea Party movement was another major turning point, but it wasn’t such a stark identification with a single person.

Now they know they can’t win without the help of Trump supporters. Many of them are ones the GOP had successfully conned for decades. But those people have only been dealt pain, so they’ve been desperate for something else. And a new snake oil salesman is in town and he’s doing a better job at convincing some people to follow him.

It’s basically what goes around, comes around. Greed and short-term thinking coming back to bite them in the ass.

I'd love to see them split into two parties, so they split the vote between these groups and never have any power at all.
