As much as that sounds good, it also sounds naive. Trump is like a bartender who found a bad batch of beer, long past its sell-by date. He so badly wants to get rid of it, but can't, in good conscience, just dump it, so he invites over a bunch of locals. At first, they complain about how bad the beer tastes; how much more it makes them pee; how much their families complain about the way it makes them smell when they get home. But they get hooked on the free, bad beer - enough so that when local residents complain about puke on the sidewalks and the increase in dangerous drivers on the roads, they defend the generosity and good nature of the bartender. They're not going to shut him down. They've heard the complaints against him and maybe even ceded the validity of those arguments (after wiping crust from the corner of the mouth or crawling from the overturned car), but they're not about to turn their backs on this nice guy who's supplying them with what they so desperately want and when he says he's got a YUGE amount of beer, so MANY kegs, he's got the most kegs of anybody in the business? No, that'd be a betrayal and they can't betray the guy who's brought so much joy and sense of accomplishment to their lives.

No, the party's seen all the evidence and they're aware of the direction it's taking the country, but they're not concerned. By party, I don't just mean the politicians, I mean the base, too. Not sure how catastrophic things need to be before enough of them think it serious enough to do something about it.

You're absolutely right, of course. But it's not just trump...the entire party now seems to be cozy with Russia. You saw the GOP delegation in Moscow a week or so back?

Just vote them out!
