This is the start, sort of. Where does it end?

Ryan calls Trump a racist. Still backs him.
Trump condemns John McCain for being taken prisoner. McCain back him. (That one makes me throw up a little in my mouth.)
Newt Gingrich calls out Trump for his racism (wow, hey?) but still wants to be his VP.
Trump preys on people with money problems, including Republicans. Republicans still back him.
Trump widely acknowledged to know nothing about foreign policy. Republicans still back him.
Trump lashes out at judges who are not white and of European descent. Republicans still back him.
Trump in more than 3,000 lawsuits as defendant or plaintiff (my wife told me that - haven't looked for link). Republicans still back him.
Trump threatens violence in campaign and during presidency. Republicans still back him.

How do you call out people who are so craven and have no shame?

This is only the beginning.

1. the definition of GOP/conservatives wll always be described as "racists" while that is no problem

with a large portion of conservative base....the great majority of america rejects those ideas

2. None of them has an ounce of integrity.

Ironic thing is that if trump is elected (God forbid), none of them would have any power or sway over him. They are all chumps and he knows how to manipulate them. He has had a lifetime of practice.

3. What's the name for someone who supports a racist candidate for president?

4. I saw that (Ryan's speech) on TV and the optics were awful...

Ryan, angry, railing against but still supporting The Orange One, with two sullen and teary-eyed African American women in the background. All I could think is: "Were they 'his' AAs?" I mean WTF !! Those TWO women (the only ones they could find?); what were they doing there?? (I mean, I KNOW what they were doing there, but are people really so naive??) #ShameOnTheGOP.
