The Republicans in the House are like a poodle pound for the White House.

They simply could not bring themselves around to denouncing racism. They tried to paint it as something else.

But, finally, someone called out the racist demagogue in the White House. It must have been like a cold splash of water in the face? Nobody, no one, had challenged the dictator wannabe in the White House until yesterday.

It was as if someone stuck a huge knitting needle into the Baby Trump balloon. It whistled, it farted, and it fell to the ground.

So now, they have to regroup. They were not able to defend their Leader from the charges and they were embarrassed in the process. It didn't have to be. They could have spoken up before it got to that point. Mitch McConnell wanted everyone to calm down and let cooler heads prevail. But, that was after the fact. He was the perfect cheerleader up 'til then.

Will anything change after yesterday? Will they return to their kennels and wait patiently until they can sit on their Master's lap again?
