John Scalzi: "The GOP created a monster, but the monster isn’t Trump. The monster is the GOP’s base.

Trump is the guy who stole their monster from them."

"Well, surprise! Here’s Donald Trump. He is the actual and physical embodiment of every single thing the GOP has trained its base to want and to be over the last forty years — ignorant, bigoted and money-grubbing, disdainful of facts and frightened of everything because of it, an angry drunk buzzed off of wood-grain patriotism, threatening brown people and leering at women. He was planned. He was intended. He was expected. He was wanted."
