I can't believe that so few Republican leaders are distances from Trump. They're so afraid of the chance that he might actually win and then marginalize them that they've lost sight of what they do and why.
That's the real corruption point of politics...is that moment when they politician stops thinking about being a part of changing and advancing our nation for what their constituents (or even they, themselves) see as the positive/right direction and instead it becomes solely about staying in office regardless of compromising any or all of your actual beliefs.
Obviously that's nothing new, but it's never been more apparent since Trump locked the nomination. It's always been at its worst in the House of Representatives. Those folks can never stop campaigning. Their terms are too short to be fully focused on their duties as representatives.
Clearly Trump can't get say anything offensive enough to lose those GOP-ers that can't separate his winning the nomination from his worthiness or fitness to hold and manage the office. At least with 911, there was an almost understandable rationale for the fear-mongering and kowtowing to it. It seems like the only way he would truly lose people (and not all of them) is if he called President Obama the n-word and/or went on a homophobic rant. I want him to so we can be done with him, but I fear it the notion as it will be too revealing of who we (the citizens of the U.S.) are as people...or at least a too large portion of us are.
Lastly, Julian Assange can eat a bag of dicks.
