United States: it is necessary to re-establish the Republican Party for the stability of the country

During the Republican convention the party's image was found to be anything but united; only the electoral base in backing Trump seemed compact, while the ruling class had seen practically forced to endorse the nomination of a billionaire, thanks to the votes collected in the primary, thanks to a campaign of populist slogans, but not supported by an adequate and clear government program. The current electoral conduct of Trump, however, perfectly in line with the one held by the race to the nomination, is creating further discontent in the leadership of the Republican Party, with several members of primary importance, they are giving publicly their support for the Democratic candidate. If circulated hypothesis of an agreement between Bill Clinton and the same Trump, who lent it to play the part of the ineligible candidate, do not seem to be able to be taken seriously, except as a political fiction, the current reality of the Republican Party is that of a distance between the base and the management team, which is seen to impose Trump only the election results. The responsibility is undoubtedly to be found at that leadership team that now distances himself from the candidate proposed by the convention, not to have been able to steer the situation, and it found no credible alternative candidates. This result certainly has had an instant development and Trump did not is not the cause but only the effect; be placed at the beginning of this comes from the Republican over that of the Tea Party Movement Party has had within the political formation, carrying within it a vision far from the classic policy of the Republicans, but able to attract the discontent of voters an America increasingly discontented and geographically identifiable in the suburbs and in the states most backward. Probably the leadership of the party thought the Tea Party as a chance to attract an electorate that often deserted the polls, but that could be easily controlled, if not manipulated. So it was not: the vision of a moderate right, often close to several points of the Democratic Party, has been overwhelmed by bringing the party's base of more extreme positions, which are catalyzed around the fear of difference, the idea of ​​American supremacy in world, with the outline of the pressure of the weapons lobby and a distorted view of the idea of ​​order. Around these concepts, often not even supported by programs able to implement them has developed an ability to completely divergent attractiveness ideals which lined the classic Republican voter. The result has been to have a Republican party that has become, at least in most of its base, a different party from the one that has always been, where moderation seems to be gone and where the ways of doing politics often often extend beyond the boundaries of decency. This scene also serves to identify the leadership of the party to disqualify the electoral base, classifying it as far away from the common people, a sort of aristocracy with too many problems to understand the middle class and low they choose Trump. It is clear that, in a system that for decades has been centered on an electoral competition based on small differences between the two major parties, the current configuration of the Republican Party is also a problem for the functioning of the US political system and democracy itself American. While in Washington there are Constitutional antibodies to curb this danger it is a fact that is in the interest of the whole international situation, probably of the enemies of the US, the most important country in the world still having the stability criteria guaranteed by a political system that works with more than the usual mode. You have to remember that the functioning of the American political system depends very much on who is elected President, but not only that: the composition of Congress is important and a Republican Party formed by populist and people with a vision to bring back the country to some decades earlier, It is an equally grave danger. So also with the issue can not be closed to Trump defeat, however, this will give way Republican organization to make a new foundation to bring the party where its more traditional ideas may once more be prevalent and remove the harmful influences populist from the inside .
