Bitter GOP Divisions Are Like Nothing the Party Has Seen Before
More than seven months remain in a campaign that will no doubt persist with the bloodletting until there’s no blood left to let. And then the work will begin, to try to stitch together a Republican Party that has been riven by division for more than a year.
The depths of the split in the party came through loudly in a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll of California voters. Right now there are two Republican parties in California, one inhabited by supporters of Donald Trump, and the other inhabited by supporters of everyone else. The Trump people don’t like the other candidates. People supporting the other candidates don’t like Trump.
This seems to go beyond the usual primary season divisions seen in past Republican races and in the current Democratic contest. Usually, candidates in a party battle fiercely to the end, pout for a while, then come back together in November.
