16. Trump is a Party all to himself, who ran as a Republican. The GOP did not think he was going to win

Then the GOP thought they could manage him. His handlers think they can control him. Well, they can't.

The ill-educated, never took Civics in high school because it was boring or not even offered, alienated, vast middle of this nation swallowed the propaganda whole. Trump was going to be their personal bully who would smite all the people they resented, destroy what they didn't understand, and offer simple solutions to all their troubles.

They all got more than they bargained for. Trojan Horse Donald is the shiny object that is distracting them (and us, and the media if we are not careful) from the real events going on behind him. He's not running the show. Increasingly, the evidence is that Putin and his American tools are.

The GOP in Congress isn't so much in bed with the Kremlin, as they are still in that stage of denial that says there must be a way to handle Mad King Donald, rather than seeing the full catastrophe as it unfolds.
