McConnell and Ryan have calculated that if they give Trump a 'win' they will be able to get him to sign off on a repeal of the New Deal and Great Society programs which the 1% hate. The trolls who are disciples of Trump are locked into their animus toward Obama and Clinton since they are black and female respectively and as a result challenge the childish idea that white men are superior. The Repubs have played these cards repeatedly but the Democrats will not call them on it for fear of being accused of using vitriolic rhetoric and 'upsetting' the masses. When you deal with bullies you need to use their methods to best them, not try to be reasonable.
