    An alliance of corporate raiders, religious nutjobs, and nazis, aka the Reagan coalition, was never built on firm foundations. The laissez faire ultracapitalists like Romney just want tax cuts and deregulation so they can siphon even more capital out of the system, and to that end they pay lip service to the causes of the unwashed masses. They ran the GOP for decades.

    Now, the nazis and religious nutjobs, who outnumber the true Reaganites by several orders of magnitude among the electorate, have decided to take the wheel. Trump and his followers are the GOP’s golem.
