    Where would you place the original sin that led to trump? My leading candidates: McConnell on inauguration eve, nominating Palin.

        I started writing same answer, but doesn't account for concurrent rise of Trumpalikes in other countries w/o that history.

        truthfully: the 2000 primary campaign of Bush. It was McCains 'turn', but Bush broke gop seniority norms and ran, rest is history

        I’d probably go back to Gingrich as speaker. So much decorum was lost due to him and his plans.

        GOP governance stopped being "reality-based" with Gingrich in late '90s. Campaigning much earlier; see Perlstein on Nixon & Reagan.

        Original sin was the Republican party selling a bill of goods to middle America that they bought. Decades, and no delivery later...

        I think that's fed by the uncompromising partisanship which predates it (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/04/23/a-stunning-visualization-of-our-divided-congress/ …), tribalism > competence
