Mitt Romney's capitulation and Trump's impressive poll numbers show his hold over the GOP is secure

I’m starting to think the alt-Right nuts have got it more correct than they realised with their cries of "Cuckservative". This grubby portmanteau, mixing cuckold and conservative, may have been purely a term of abuse, designed to belittle and ridicule their more mainstream opponents for selling out. But have you been watching what has happened to the Republican Party?

The Trump takeover is complete, according to the latest opinion polls and congressional manoeuvering – almost as if their president’s grand populist project has hatched its usurper eggs in the Grand Old Party’s nest.
