The Price Republicans Pay in Supporting Trump

This past week, Congressional Republicans fell all over themselves to ingratiate themselves with Trump. They felt that they had to, or not only would Democrats not vote for them, neither would Republican members of the Trump cult.

Republicans who used to (rightly) denigrate Trump now support him, not because they think he would be a good President, but because the alternative is for them to lose the next election and be forced to look for another job. They pretend to approve of Trump because they think it’s in their own self-interest.

They are not only morally wrong in doing so, they are being stupid. We will all be worse off if Trump returns to the White House. The world will be worse off. If Trump wins, these Republicans will find that it wasn’t worth it for them to support him. They’ll learn that the price was far too high.
