“Penny, this was history in the making”, said Ray after they met presidential candidate, Bill Clinton in 1992. ( excerpt from NautiGurl, page 75)
And, today, Donald Trump is ‘history in the making’ !
The Republican Party is continuing its drastic change that started 60 years ago . At one time, the GOP was controlled by the bankers and what is called the Eastern Establishment.
In the 60s it provided leadership for the civil rights legislation. Then, it developed “The Southern Strategy” whereby southern democrats voted for Republicans.
Control of the Party evolved to a Western Strategy via Nixon and Reagan. The next dimension became the Religious Strategy.
Now, it has become the Party of Trump which is totally undefined, and I don’t foresee it ever going back.
Look for a Third Party to get legs, Johnson/Weld poll at 12%.
A typical theme from one character in my book, NautiGurl, Ray, is “follow the money.”
My next blog will continue that subject.

Trump is the tsunami that shakes the fabric of US Democracy. The guy seems to lack any meaningful intellectual capacities. The irony is the Evangelical establishment in the US are with Trump. Must have seen something good after the Trump syndrome. Love the shake but not the manifest ugliness & rawness of the President’s style.
