I was hoping his nomination will serve as a wake-up call for the GOP. More specifically, I'm hoping they drop the strict requirement to pretend to be a fundamentalist Christian lunatic in order to have a real shot at running as a republican. We need more moderates from both major parties. Partisan politics are destroying us.

This is how we got to Trump in the first place.

I absolutely agree, though I don't see how all this demonizing of conservatives is going to help.
