GOP Following Trump Like Good Little Nazi's Followed Hitler. What Happened?

The Trump adoration campaign with all this sickening groveling is just too much to watch. WTF happened in the last few months? I have never seen anything so embarrassing to our country internationally.

Nothing Trump is doing is out of line or out of sync with the way the GOP has behaved and the things they've believed for the past 25 years AT LEAST. Them following him on that stuff is the least surprising thing in....ever.

Graham, Grassley, and others are pressured to lick Trumpy's nuts or they'll be exposed as sympathizers to Putin BECAUSE of the money that they received from Russia. Now, Graham (an $800k recipient of Russian money), Grassley, and others are being called to guard the palace of criminals and traitors. Or else.

I believe that Russian money went to the RNC and all sorts of Republicans. Paul Ryan keeping Nunez in charge of the House investigation demonstrates how desperate they are to quash the Russia investigation. Follow the $$$!

They’ll only get primaried.

Maybe they get to look like statesmen down the road, but likely only after their career is over

Corruption is the word you seek. Look to Brazil, where the bribes are illegal and people go down when revealed, but the majority in Congress is guilty and they protect others to save their own asses. Herein the USA, you just need to report the bribes.

If they do not secure their party's nomination, they can not collect Citizens United dollars to hide in an offshore account For most of them, getting nominated is better than focusing on the general election right now. At least if they get voted out in November, they will be rich.
