63. As long as it looks like Trump is "pwning" liberals, they're fine with him

Everything else, every issue and even the health of the nation, takes a backseat as long as it looks like Trump is exacting some sort of revenge on their half.

Thing is, it didn't really start with Trump but Gingrich who felt that once republicans got elected in 94 to majorities in both houses, it was payback time. I remember Doonesbury cartoons that showed him as a lit bomb (the cartoon kind - round, black, with a fuse coming out of the top), and the character Lacey Davenport, who was a moderate republican, trying to rein him in to no avail. Trump is that times 100. If Gingrich had upped his game some and gotten rid of his last few shreds of decency, he might have given Trump a run for his money.
