5. Probably not until November...

Admittedly, the's jumping more sharks every day, but it hasn't fully sunk in just how bad he is.

Now, evangelicals are noticing the kids on the border, and that's going too far for them-- many believe that immigrant children should not be sacrificed in the fight for Jesus and against abortion. Good start.

But, Republican congresscritters are all too aware of the consequences for crossing The Boss. After November, win or lose, they will have little to fear from Trump so many should find their balls. I can't believe they are all happy with the way things are going.

Policy is policy and we can differ all we want, but at some point basic decency has to take over or we are completely lost. Reagan and the Bushes often had terrible policies, but I don't remember them saying "Fuck 'em" to large segments of society. As bad as their policies often were, there was always a glimmer of humanity in there somewhere, and they were capable of pulling back from some of the worst decisions.

I grew up in a Republican family, and none of them, even the Goldwater voters, would be less than shocked to their cores over the things Trump is doing.
