Why the Republicans have made and dragged us into their Trump hell. In America today, party affiliation reflects character:

Matthew Yglesias: @mattyglesias: "This is absolutely correct. But the corollary is GOP elected officials' failure of character has been massive."

Michael B Dougherty: [@michaelbd][]: "It’s boring to say it. But the best explanation of how people are going to vote next week is their party affiliation, not their character."

Those with character are or soon will be ex-Republicans.
