Weakness

 The Atlantic: The Unbearable Weakness of Trump’s Minions - Senator Josh Hawley isn’t just engaging in civic vandalism—he is an emblem of a weak and rotten Republican Party. by Peter Wehner

They are far more ambitious than they are principled, and they are willing to damage American politics and society rather than be criticized by their own tribe.

"Trump was the product of deep, disturbing currents on the American right; he was not the creator of them". YEAH, absolutely.

There is and has never been anything to Tr**mp other than an instinct for opportunism and exploitation. Part of his "genius" was to rip the curtain of pretension down on the stage of national politics. We can pretend it's the same show if we want, but it's different now.

AND as simple squirrels to his dog, we the people became addicted to Tr**mp 24/7 - now what will we do with this "habit" and no "supplier"?

Well said Mark. I think that right now with this election fraud scheme by GOP senators like Cruz, we have a group of people who are all too willing to pick up Trump's addiction mantel. They are competing with each other to see who can be the most Trumpy as it were and thereby gain the support of Trump's ultra unhinged supporters, people who are willing to commit acts of extreme violence in order to gain their aims. There's no shortage of a Trump wanna-be, and unfortunately most of these senators are far more intelligent than Trump, who in many ways is also a hapless bumbling jackass, with a gift for manipulation and lying.

The "hapless bumbling jackass" has 70 + million American voters that are ripe for picking and harvesting (including our neighbors, friends and families). The Cruzes and GOP '24 wannabees see a real opportunity (I presume my very own opportunistic carpetbagging 21st district representative is on their VP list). The most Tr**py may be the new voice of the party, maybe not. But Tru**pism, in some form will continue to thrive on the red rotting meat of decaying democracy.

Our woods are not beautiful like Robert Frosts', but very dark and deep.
