Sunk Cost Fallacy

The Sunk Cost Fallacy. The Misconception: You make rational decisions based on the future value of objects, investments and experiences. The Truth: Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it.

This is one of the reasons the Reich Wing will never impeach Drumpt.

Oh, yeah, also because he is the King of the Deplorables.
