Well-said Elise! I watched Mitch McConnell on CNN last night in the most severe state of contortion I have ever seen, while trying to justify his support of Trump. When he said he expected Trump to change, he sounded like an abused wife who would not leave her husband, because she hoped he would change. Most domestic abusers do not change and the odds of Trump changing are about a billion to one. More importantly, serial domestic abusers often end up doing permanent harm to their partners. He then said he would support Trump as the nominee of the Republican Party, because he won the most votes in the primary. If you apply the same logic, he would support Charles Manson if he received the most votes. Trump has snatched the opportunity to highjack a party crumbling from within.
