Why are all the GOP politicians supporting him, Steve? Cowardice? Is that your explanation? I would argue they see Trump's extremism as a way to get some of what they wanted all along. They think they can moderate his policies.
Should Democrats be out en masse changing party affiliation to vote against Trump in the GOP primaries?
