++Finally a Krauthammer column worth reading in the Washington Post about "The ideological earthquake" out of Indiana.
++Krauthammer says that the GOP has undergone the greatest ideological reversal of any political party since the Democrats under FDR. He says that the conservatism that had Reagan crystallized to become the governing philosophy of the GOP was destroyed in Indiana with Trump's victory.
++He chides his conservative friends to say that Trump marshaled the anti-establishment sentiment of the Republiocan rank and file. He points at that Trump until he entered the race gave to Harry Reid , Chuck Schumer and the Democrats the right loathed. He pointed out that Trump flirted with single payer healthcare and that he believed medical care is one of the essential services government provides,something anathema to the Republican Party. He supports Planned Parenthood which the tea partiers wanted defunded.
++Krauthammer quotes Trump as saying he is a conservative but "who cares? Krauthammer points out that the whole right-wing blogosphere,radio shows and Fox News had cared until recently.
++He conludes that Trump doesn't believe in anything and what surprises await the GOP.
