“By seizing the Republican presidential nomination for Donald Trump on Tuesday night, he and his millions of supporters completed what had seemed unimaginable: a hostile takeover of one of America’s two major political parties,” the New York Times reports.
“Just as stunning was how quickly the host tried to reject them. The party’s two living former presidents spurned Mr. Trump, a number of sitting governors and senators expressed opposition or ambivalence toward him, and he drew a forceful rebuke from the single most powerful and popular rival left on the Republican landscape: the House speaker, Paul Ryan.”
“Rarely if ever has a party seemed to come apart so visibly. Rarely, too, has the nation been so on edge about its politics.”
