(8,200 posts)It was not complex. He operated exactly like he has done in his business dealings. The majority of Republicans in the top offices realized that he was a disaster in the making. However, he simply gave them an ultimatum: You either support me or I will run as an Independent. The hatred of the Democrats that they preached to their constituency left them no option, if they refused Clinton would be elected, so they caved to his demands. Even though he belittled them on the campaign trail, after his election those who had run against him came licking his boots and kissing his fat ass. If anyone thinks that they will impeach him, unless he is guilty of murder, they are delusional in my estimation of the situation.
The country is so deeply divided many scholars of the political situation warn that the inability of the two parties to negotiate in the best interest of the nation is seriously threatening its future. The cause can be without prejudice attributed directly to the transformation of the Republican Party into a ultra-rightwing nut house that has absolutely no contact with reality. They have demonized liberals as immoral hedonists, baby killers, anti-Americans that have absolutely no right to even be citizens. They hope of the nations founders, E Pluribus Unum, has been trampled under foot by radicals who have captured the local governments, state houses and the federal government and are determined to obliterate the filthy Godless liberals.
Good luck young Americans, you will need it.
