It is kind of an open secret these days that the GOP is marching ever closer towards becoming a far-right nationalist movement that self-legitimates using Biblical discourse combined with claims to a monopoly on expressions of American authenticity.

Oh come on, he was quite politically correct! He said African-American!

On their current trajectory, I expect them to be arguing for equal time with the Reform Party on CSPAN-8. <a href="http://reformparty.org/" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://reformparty.org/">http://reformparty.org/</a>
