As we have said Trump is a monster created by the GOP/Tea partiers--now they have to live with him.

1. That's not surprising

2. It's normal to double down when cherished beliefs

are challenged, the more extreme the more the reaction of...reactionaries and radicals.

Even intelligent, balanced people tend to do it; it's just that they bring themselves around eventually and don't need intensive therapy to force them to admit reality.

So -- of course! Trump's promise as the great national leader who will emerge victorious against the forces of evil is only proven by lies about his incompetence and dishonesty, and of course by the thugs and lowlives sent to disrupt him.

3. Now he is in a dither - they come for the "excitement" yet now he has to reign it in....

Last night he was whining for a "disrupter" to pop up and energize things - none there in his adoring Florida.
