We need to stop letting the Republicans off the hook for Trump.

Democrats are very forgiving, the problem is the Republicans are not. I think some Democrats are letting the Republican party off the hook for their role in the rise of Donal Trump. Don't forget it the Republican party is Trump. The Republican party dog whistles are the same racial issues that Trump trumpets. The Republican party is Dr. Frankstein and Trump is the monster that they lost control of.

The Republican party is the Ego while Trump is the Id, it has become clear that the Id has taken over the Id. We have to hammer the Republican party on Trump, don't let them get away with not taking responsibility for Trumps rise.

You can't embarrass, shame or ridicule a Republican voter. The GOP base doesn't care if a bunch of leftists or the despised media calls them racists, bigots, or xenophobes, in fact those sobriquets are embraced as a badge of honor. Understand; this isn't a problem for them. They adore loud, ostentatious showmen like Trump, just as they did with all the other swaggering, tough-talking, grandstanding, Hollywood-esque play-actors that came before him.
