What does it say about the Republican Party that they stand behind a crazy person as their nominee?

[kentuck]

It's becoming more clear every day that Donald Trump is not a stable person. He has exhibited personal qualities that are despised by decent people.

Yet, he was endorsed by Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, yesterday. The day before, he was endorsed by Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader. Do they have any other choice than to support the person that the people in their Party has voted for?

What does it say about their judgement? Should they be in charge of any branch of government? Do they really think that they can dictate to Donald Trump what they want done and that they can control him? Which is more insane?

Should there be any political punishment for a Party that exposes our country to the inherent dangers of a leader such as Donald Trump? Are they not accessories to the crime?

1. It proves what I have always known.

Republicans are crazy liars who do not care about this country.

They will always put party ahead of everything else.

They have ZERO values !!!!!

3. Build a wall, stop Muslims from entering,...

Punish women who have abortions.

It's not that they just nominated a crazy person. Trump is a perfect representative for them and is saying nothing they haven't been for decades.

5. They created this monster & and are stuck with it

The GOP has played on people's most base fears; 911, the Birther/Muslim crap, and homophobia to sucker people into voting against their best economic interests.

Then came Donald Trump. They will "support" Trump, but it will mostly be lip service, as they expend most of their energy on Congressional races.

Guess Karl Rove isn't such a genius afterall. They will reap what they've sown.

6. They think they can control Trump, what absolute fools. Over and over we've seen

Trump does not give a F what they want/think. And if given the reign and power of the WH, America well might see its darkest days ahead. It cements in my mind my feeling that republicans are a very dangerous force in life. Trump exemplifies the core values of republicans.

8. You have to wonder

9. Donald Trump thinks a judge should be removed based on heritage...

This is illegal and violates civil rights law...the guy is a racist and a danger to our country.

12. Yes they created him, but the country cannot allow that person in the White House.

He's worse than Kim Jung un
