Seriously, I can't believe what a bunch of sh--theads the Republicans are being about this. Trump is TOXIC to all of these groups. They have to decide whether to kick him off the ship, or GO DOWN WITH HIM. But they're too spineless to throw him off the ship, because he might make a mean tweet about them.
Also, I suppose they have reason to be afraid. They've spent 20 years turning their base into a rabid, homicidal mob. But, as YASSIR ARAFAT found out, once you BUILD a base like that, you can't just turn it off. Arafat's own PLO started turning on HIM when he tried to make a deal with Israel. Republicans are now finding this out. They've turned their base into a monster, and they can't turn the monster off.
But this is pretty impressive! Ever since I was a boy (hell of a long time ago), the GOP has WRAPPED THEMSELVES IN THE FLAG. The GOP used to claim (hypocritically) that they supported the Military (despite throwing them into war after war, and not paying their medical bills afterwards), law enforcement officials; and also claimed to be the only ones 'tough' enough to stand up to Russia. As false as it was, it took them a good 30 years to build the illusion that they supported all those groups; and their dogged support for Trump is costing them all of that in just four or five years!
