"The battle for the soul of the ReTHUG party" - the ReTHUG party has no soul - just assholes
What we were taught:
Speak the truth, and speak it ever.
Cost it what it will.
For he who hides the wrong he did
Did the wrong thing still.

What the ''family values'' party practices

Lie and lie and lie forever
That's the Trumpian creed
Power and wealth are all that matter
Their only god is greed

And, that's why what's-his-name is the anointed leader of the Republicult. He truly represents who the members of that cult are, and what they want for themselves.

Apparently he, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort were all in —at the same time—on the transformation of the GOP from a Conservative party into the party of lies and win at any cost. What Atwater wrote about himself and his beliefs and values is absolutely sickening.

If interested; I think you get some free articles before paywall kicks in:
