... the worst part .. was the audience who egged him on, laughed at his jokes and applauded his appalling lack of human decency ...
... Does Mike Lee actually believe that his Utah colleague was using religion as a "crutch" to justify a vote against Trump? ...
Does McConnell believe that? Does McCarthy think that Pelosi actually doesn't pray at all? Or that Democrats want to "destroy" our country? Or that the leadership of the FBI is "top scum?" Or that the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election was "evil" and "corrupt?"
I can't believe that they do. And if they don't, then something far worse is at play here ...
That was the worst part of watching Trump on Thursday. That every single person in that room smiled and laughed and, uh, celebrated, as though what Trump was saying was even close to normal behavior. It wasn't. None of it.
