That's what sickens me about this: the "victory" from a partisan perspective is so short lived, and the decades the GOP will spend mired in the hellish after-effects of this action will be so long lived. It's all fun and games while you hold the reigns, and it becomes an absolute terror when they get handed off to someone else. With a level-headed, experienced leader, maybe not such a risk. With someone like Trump, or God forbid, the types of people Trump is inspiring right now to pursue candidacy, think about what this could present to our future. 

It is heartbreaking, nauseating, stomach-churning, painful, and ill-conceived to do what the GOP is doing right now. There is going to be a nasty, nasty wave come crashing back over the breakers. If you thought it was impressive how Trump flipped rural counties that Obama had won, just wait until 2018 and 2020. The GOP is going to pay, dearly, for this infantile crime perpetrated against the American People in the name of partisanship.
