Time to run alternative candidates in republican primaries ...
Trump managed to overthrow the Republican Party from the inside - but that was moving them in a direction that they didn't mind going, like rolling a stone downhill. Infiltrating progressives into a regressive party is trying to roll a stone uphill.

Trump is the GOP.
The GOP is Trump.
I don't think that's true. Trump is Trump and even that changes from day to day.
The GOP tried everything in their bag of tricks to keep him out. They'd gladly get rid of him if they could.

As far as policy goes, he is as Republican as it gets.
What policy? The Republican Congress won't touch anything he proposes.

The answer is to vote against Republicans.

In the republican primary for a progressive candidate running against the republicans in the primary where the district is gerrymandered to essentially guarantee the republican candidate picked in the primary will win the general election.
Is there a main clause in that "sentence"?

Thus to say that something happens by chance is really saying nothing.
Okay, then it almost makes sense but it's still wrong. If you vote for a progressive pretending to be a Republican, how do you know he isn't a Republican pretending to be progressive?
