The problem is you aren't looking for reasonable middle ground...
The GOP presidential candidates are playing to bigots in your party- 'ban all muslims', 'just let in christians only'....
They are pandering to ignorance and bigotry and you all just drink it up... because you know it motivates your base. Hell, a large percentage of the GOP believes Obama is a muslim... The decades of politely accepting the bigots in your ranks has come back to bite you in the form of Trump.
Even you know how dangerous he is, but you cant bring yourself to admit it publicly- because that would mean admitting that there is a problem with the GOP.
