I've heard several pundits speak of Republicans going to Mar-A-Lago to "kiss Trump's ring".

[Atticus]

That totally misunderstands the purpose of their pilgrimage.

It isn't his ring they are kissing.

1. You hear Anderson Cooper use the word "fealty" a lot nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. It's not the ring on his finger they're kissing

But I think you and I agree on the general area where their lips are planted.

3. Is that what they call his ass?

4. PSA: Remember, qpublicans, when you're kissing trump's ___,

you're also kissing everybody else who's kissed trump's ___.

9. For the life of me, I can't figure out why they kiss the ass of Trump.

They've gotten rid of a huge problem with this guy's election loss. I know they're upset about losing the White House, but Trump was heading on a "Crash and Burn" course, even if he had won. They should be happy that problem is over.

What does he hold over them?

What evidence of nastiness does he hold the key to?

Do they fear what kind of bombs Trump might drop on the GOP?

I just don't get it.

[TreasonousBastard]

11. I can't figure it out, either. I hear all sorts of things, with the most "reasonable" ones...

involving fear of Trump voter retaliation.

But these guys are politicians, and counting votes is pretty much all they know. So, do they really believe the former guy has that much pull any more?

Personally, I think he'll be just a bad memory by next year.

(But, you never know...)

[Buns_of_Fire]

15. It's not trump they fear -- it's his cult following that scares them to death.

trump is politically nothing without his legions of brain-dead, rabid, drooling worshippers. He knows it, and they know it.

Unfortunately, those same brain-dead, rabid, drooling worshippers vote. One baleful glance from their Messiah can well send a qpublican to the cornfield.

12. The ring in this case...

Is the part the wiping doesn't get
