The GOP is killing off their own voters as they pretend their leader isn’t a ‘bright orange ball of fury’: columnist

The week of the Republican convention brought a rage-fest of anger, whether it’s wrapped “in pretty colors” or not, explained Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.

They can’t hide from a “wounded and angry” president who is “promising White men in his trademark, code-worded slogan that he’s going to ‘Make America Great Again,’” wrote Ignatius.

While both parties are trying to say that it’s the most important election in our lifetimes, Ignatius noted that the reason for that is being ignored by the GOP.
