The Partisan Divide on Issues

[Bob Butler 54]

CNN has a birther opinion piece on how the establishment is yielding principles to avoid retribution from Trump and his base.  It has the Republicans abandoning long held principles in order to dodge being targeted.  It ends...

CNN Wrote:The reality Republicans face is this: A party without any principles isn't a party at all.

Yep.  I know.  I have recently claimed gathering as much wealth and power as you can is a principle.  Avoiding trouble by giving the guy in power what he wants is a principle.  But the writer is correct.  Those are not the type of principle that keeps a party going.
