Traditional Republicans, Here's Your Chance to Reclaim Your Party

If the public opinion polls and many pundits are right, Republicans, or at least Donald Trump, will lose BIG in November. For traditional Republicans, some (many?) of whom have expressed the wish for just such an election outcome, this is now your chance to retake your party from those you allowed in; a group of fanatical right wing bigots, racists and outright fascists, along with religious fanatics, at least those 'claiming' religion, most often, Christianity, but they, like the fanatical elements of Islam, have perverted the religion to their own purposes, especially a longing for the distant past, and that longing's support for bigotry, racism and hatred. At times some within this collective group of haters have expressed their discontent with the Republican Party, essentially admitting they only use your party as a vehicle for their agenda. * They have used YOUR party to cloak themselves in the guise of mainstream ideas, and while you too often have been complicit and ENABLERS of these extremists, you now have the chance to cleanse yourself of this terrible cancer on your party, the once proud party of  Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Dwight Eisenhower. If the election indeed proves to be a large scale loss for the GOP, don't let such a loss go without telling these fanatics that they need to seek asylum (some need a real "asylum") elsewhere, and that their presence within your party is no longer welcome, nor desired. You got yourselves into this mess, and you can now begin to undo the damage.

We need a responsible right of center political party in this country, but the key word is "responsible," not the obstructionist, hate filled, "I want to live in a past century," collection of malcontents, acting to bring down the government and drag down everyone along with them. A bunch of conspiracy mongers that have taken over the Republican Party, along with their megaphone blaring, indoctrinating propagandists Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, et al.

* There was an Ohio primary ad with a woman saying she's, "not really a Republican, but rather, I am  a conservative," and she would not support the traditional GOP candidate in the primary, only the hard-line conservative.

WORD HISTORY:
Wake- English has another noun "wake" (meaning, "aftermath waves and water turbulence of a ship or boat"), but the form here is the verb for, "to awaken, to wake up, to be awake," and then the verb's derived noun, with the meaning "a celebration of a deceased person's life, a vigil for a corpse." The history of the basic word is complex, as you'll see, because it is so closely related to "watch," ^ but also because of the long time presence in English of the related words, "awake" and "awaken," which will require separate word histories themselves, lest we all get totally confused by all of these entangled words, so similar in spellings and meanings. Both the verb and the noun are closely related to "watch," in its verb and noun forms. It goes back to Indo European "weg/wek," which had the notion of "be active, lively." This gave its Old Germanic offspring "wakojana(n)/wakjana(n), with the meaning, "to wake up, to awaken, to be awake," as well as the extended meaning "be awake for the purpose of guarding." This gave Old English the verbs "wacian" and "wacan," with "wacian" meaning, "to be awake, to not be asleep, to keep watch;" and, "wacan" meaning, "to awaken, to rise from sleep." The two verb forms eventually melded to become "waken," before the modern form. The noun form was derived from the Old English verb "wacian," with the noun rendered as "wacu," but it was initially used in compounds with the meaning "watch, watch duty," before it became a stand alone word meaning, "a vigil ("a watch") for a corpse."

^ Indeed, the family name "Wakeman," is really an old form meaning "watchman."
