What does this election say about the base of the Republican party?
If, according to polls, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are the preferred choices of Republicans planning to vote in the upcoming election, it seems fair to say that the base (Evangelical Christians) of the Republican party have moved toward religious extremism. If Republicans are willing to support men who are pushing a vile, racist and intolerant agenda then they are making the choice to support hate, racism and pigheadedness.
Ultimately, if Republicans are trying to frame an argument that the fight is against religious extremism- then how is it possible to stand behind candidates who in one hand denounce extremism and in the other support and propagate religious extremism?
