GOP leadership
As a group, the Republican Party leadership condemned Donald Trump as someone unfit for the presidency. They described Trump as a buffoon, a cancer, a con man, and were so concerned about his lack of qualifications they all agreed he would be a disaster as president and commander-in-chief.
They did everything they could think of to keep him from the nomination.
Now that he has been awarded the nomination by the party’s voting base, with a few notable exceptions, they are all now endorsing the man they previously declared unfit for the presidency. The media keep asking these folks open-ended questions about their change of heart that allows them to avoid admitting the obvious fact that they are putting self-interest, power and party above doing what is best for the country.
I would love to see someone ask them all one simple “yes” or “no” question. That question should be, “Isn’t endorsing someone you believe is unqualified for the presidency unethical, amoral, unpatriotic and a betrayal of our democracy?” If they say it is not, then ask them to explain how that can be.
