Maybe make your point more directly next time. It seems that point was winning is the only thing that matters and that is driving change in the Republicans.

That isn't what is happening; if they were focused on winning at all costs they wouldn't ever nominate Trump. The man has some of the most dedicated enemies out there short of those found in a multi-generational religious war and he doesn't poll especially well. The female half of the population tend to be a bit lukewarm towards him and that doesn't help win elections either since there are a lot of them.

The Republicans are engaged in an ideological reform to clear out specifically the people who were active in the Bush years. That happens to be a broader election winner too.

Trump is a repudiation of every Repub value out there. He is non Christian, he is not the person of small government. He found time to insult McCain.

All that matters is that Trump wins elections. This isn’t even a secret, this is literally what many Trump voters have said.

And since when do Repubs care 1 whit about enemies?

Finally - you are free to believe what you like. If this makes you feel better, so be it. I have no desire to take it from you.
