Kansas Crimson

When the requirement to being a GOP politician is that you bend the knee and support Donald Trump then people shouldn't be surprised that so many turn out to be scum bags because scum bags support other scum bags. They didnt "Drain the Swamp." They turned the swamp into a toxic waste dump.

The idea that your life of crime might be pardoned away or overlooked is intoxicating to people otherwise fearful of retribution.

And that is because these people genuinely believe that the law should NOT apply to them in the way it does to others.

perhaps the distress isn’t that he continues to say “things”, but rather IN SPITE of what comes out of his mouth (and the mouths of all those he heaps praise on), he still maintains the level of support he does

Right. The distress is no longer over the lies themselves. It's over the lies being the open and acknowledged PLAN - on this, there can be be no disagreement where you have the VP candidate going on TV and saying as much. And then, eliminating any wiggle room around "misinterpretation" or whatnot, going back on TV a few days later to say that (as an example) he'll call something legal "illegal" if he wants.

Which, speaking of, any sentient R should dump the SHIT out of any damaging information, today.

For, ah, further example.
