McConnell, Ryan, and Republicans are holding this country hostage to the threats of Donald Trump...

3. They have no other choice at this point. They're being held hostage by the Cult45ers who

threaten to primary anybody who dares to criticize their Dear Leader; I think that's why we're seeing so many "retirements" in safely red U.S. House districts. Or maybe they can't just look at themselves in the mirror anymore. Nah, that's probably not it.

But the biggest and most important reason they're excusing Benedict Donald's most despicable actions and behavior is because they know their days as a political powerhouse in this country are numbered. They know that demographics are against them and will be reduced to becoming a marginalized, regional party unless they destroy our burgeoning multi-racial democracy NOW and replace it with Soviet-style authoritarianism. There's no other explanation for the rampant gerrymandering and voter suppression legislation popping up in red states like toadstools in horseshit after a rainstorm. They're attempting to destroy everything that has made America unique and that "shining city on the hill."

They are all fucking traitors.
