After all the revelations about Donald Trump, that were exposed in recent books, one might think people would not want to be associated with such incompetence and anti-American behavior?
But not the Republican politicians in Washington. They have heard nothing. They have seen nothing. They still love the disgraced and immoral former Leader. They do not care about anything except staying in power.
Witness the trek by Kevin McCarthy up to NJ to meet with the Former Guy, even as stories were breaking of his treasonous and disgraceful actions. Even as the General in charge of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was exposing the dangers that the ex-President posed for this country.
There is no explanation.
What will it take to open their eyes? What will it take to engage their minds?
Does disaster have to strike our own homes before we can believe it can happen?

(30,613 posts)They absolutely will NOT see. Doesn't matter what happens or what Democrats do. The hardcore Trump base is dug in and nothing will ever reach them. The best we can hope for is that they get marginalized back onto the fringe where they belong.
Forget them. The future lies in young voters, immigrant voters, voters of color. People who will actually listen to us and who won't be swayed by some sideshow barker.
