disappeared when tRump got the nomination. They knew he is a flim-flam man and simply thought he had the best chance at gaining power - which is all they care about. Just like in W's time, others (Heritage, ALEC, Cato, etc.) dictate their policy so it usually doesn't matter who they elect because whomever they elect is just a populist robot. However, in this case, it's backfired because of tRump's self-interest and lack of self-control.

Many people knew DJT was a crook well before his announcement that he was running, but Repugs didn't want to know the truth. I follow the Guardian (UK) news site, and they ran a weekly summary of his lies throughout the campaign. The contrast with our mainstream media was shameful, as non were holding him accountable.

Sad period for America......
