Far more than "unity" or the official "Make America Great Again" slogan of the convention, the prevailing theme holding this year's GOP shindig together is how much Republicans will debase themselves to please Donald Trump.

It’s become like a cult, as the party seems eager to debase itself by shedding all its longstanding talk about the rule of law and personal responsibility — as well as any chances of winning here in Washington — to sink ever deeper into the muck of Trump.
