GOP Called a Criminal Enterprise While Leaders Go AWOL
Whats bad for Donald Trump is bad for the Republican Party, and yesterday was a horrible day for Donald Trump.
Republicans are suffering because they have allowed Trump to do a hostile takeover of their party. And now, like it or not, when people think of the Grand Old Party they think of Trump.
This is when we need to remember the old saying: you are known by the company you keep. Most of Trumps associates are headed to jail, or will soon be indicted. And Trump himself may be charged with multiple crimes in the near future. Therefore the GOP has been tainted, and many Americans now consider it the party of corruption.

In an interview with Axios, one anonymous GOP operative made very clear just how bad this is for his party. He said, the Republican Party looks like a criminal enterprise.

Events of the last few days almost make one a believer in Karma, for it seems that (as Michael Avenatti once said) the chickens are coming home to roost for Donald Trump and his party. They are starting to get what they deserve.
The silver lining and the hope of most Americans is that the trials and the indictments and the plea deals will both bring corruption out into the open and also clean up Washington.
That may be too much to hope for, but at the very least it appears that Republican corruption will assist in creating a Blue Wave in this years elections, and will bring a new party into power.
