54. This is my theory on the GOP

The man-child is a mafioso, the mafia incriminates people they need to facilitate doing their dirty jobs, they don't become part of the family, but they become tools because the incrimination is going to get them in jail, now they are trapped.

The man-child's modus operandi has always been that way, he gets their loyalty by incrimination, their loyalty is not based on admiration, but on fear, and that is what is happening to the GOP. Some of them may not know who from their party have been incriminated, I would think the yeller from Ohio is one of them, he sure acts nervous while trying to act tough, he sounds desperate.

That is why the GOP has lay down, face down, with pants off and is allowing the man-child to screw them at his will.
