This is a pretty dumb question, honestly. Although I despise the GOP and agree that a lot of its officials are some form of scoundrel or degenerate, there are also quite a lot of relatively decent Republicans left in office. The worst of the party's officials always attract the most attention and publicity, so it usually looks worse than it is. There are what, 52 Republicans in the Senate and over 200 in the House, yet only a dozen or so make national headlines for their crazy beliefs and behavior. However, there's no doubt that there's certainly a greater surge in the number of crazies vying for (and succeeding in obtaining) positions of power in the party.

Personally, I find their policies, especially when hidden behind a smile and clean record, to be even worse than their rhetoric and personal histories.
