The GOP Card Party

Rather than attack Trump, Lindsey Graham attacks Trump critics who defend McCain

McCain's former "amigo" has become a Trump apologist, even as Trump attacks his late friend.It's an open secret as far as I'm concerned.

How does one explain Lindsey Graham's actions; or, for that matter the actions of the entire collection of Republicans in Congress when it comes to sucking up to Donald J. Trump?

As far as I'm concerned, the answer to that question is an open secret.
Graham and the rest of the Congressional elephant troupe knew that Trump was dealing with the Russians and Wikileaks during the campaign, and they kept Trump's secret for two reasons:
1. Amassing power and personal wealth are more central to their core beliefs than serving one's country.
2. They didn't think Trump would win.

Trump, of course, knew they were with him in his deception. In fact, he could never have altered the GOP's platform regarding Ukraine without help from others in the party who most likely wanted in on the action. To think otherwise is to believe that Republicans are blind and have the intelligence of a bag of bellybutton lint. Republicans may be morally bankrupt, but one should not confuse them with the MAGATS that make up the base of their party.

Now that he's President, their complicity in deceiving the voters gives Trump leverage over them. He owns them the same way Putin owns him.

As a result, today's Republican party is nothing but a house of cards; and the cards are all jokers. If any one of them had the decency and courage to fess up and provide proof of the deception perpetrated in 2016, the GOP would come crashing down. However, Graham et al. have no decency and certainly no courage. They've chosen to spread lies to glue together their house of cards in the hope that the voters won't notice come election time and blow it down.
