Why are some cowed by tRump?

I don't get it. Although I guess I should. Why people bend to a bully.

It's their reelection; fear of being humiliated; using him for their own political purposes; basic lack of chutzpah. Such a lack of courage. They bring shame to their children.

Why does it take a retiring politician like Corker, or a rapper - Eminem, to speak the truth about this madman?

More are coming forth, but not enough and not strongly enough. This needs to change now.

The writing is on the wall. How long is Mueller going to take and what will be the cost?

It's hard to keep the faith when you see so much destruction on a daily basis.

Some fear the bully. Some want to BE the bully.

It reveals a lot about a person.

he can humiliate others, safe in the knowledge that they cannot fight fire with fire.

no morals. That's how he does it. And our* response - stunned silence.

*not all of us, but by and large the American people. Why have we not taken to the streets in a general strike??

These things take a lot of time but seems the longer it takes is because of the coverup for not doing anything.

I so hope I'm wrong on this
