Read MoreRemember when the Republican Party used to be respectable and rational? Remember when the GOP used to nominate presidential candidates who members of both parties could admire and look up to, who were both intelligent and statesmanlike, leaders who inspired the best in all of us, rather than dividing the country and extracting the very worst fears in their supporters?
