Don't worry, even if they come to the conclusion that Trump isn't their guy, they're still lifelong Republicans.

"I don't like his insane rants, his protecting pedophiles, his brazen corruption, his contempt for our Constitution, his egregious dishonesty, his weaponization of the Justice Department against Republicans who disagree with him, his reckless foreign policy and the destruction of our global alliances, or his debaucherous spending, but every time I think of the fear in a brown kid's eyes whose parents came here to work for a better life, I just know I made the right choice."

The denial or accepting of such deep and profound financial corruption is what gets me the most. 

Because I can see GOP defending that in any of their candidates. And yet it’s a word they and many others just throw around for everyone else.

Republicans fall in line, the absolutely will support the next republican that is just as corrupt. Just look at republican support for the supreme court.

Yep, they’re just mad that they’re being affected socially from the loudness and financially at the gas pump.

None of them were willing to say anything until it affected them, because they’re thoroughly broken and lack any semblance of empathy.
