37. The idea of a cornered rat resonates with precision.

I've long felt the Republican party knew that history was against them demographically. But instead of becoming more inclusive, they tried to disenfranchise millions of minorities. But even that is a finger in the dike, and they know it.

So they have acted very much like a rat trapped in the corner.

And yes, Trump's actions and words, as well as the actions and words of his supporters, will exemplify the rat-trapped-in-the-corner syndrome

Well conceived.

(By the way, I have faith. God know why.)
