Republicans have spent the last 8 years stoking the fires of resentment and hatred. building Trump piece by piece. Today the Republican establishment acts like it is surprised by Donald Trumps victories around the country. They feign outrage that a demagogue spewing vile xenophobia is somehow winning in a party which spent years telling immigrants they are not welcome in America. They act surprised that Republican voters are flocking to a birther candidate. even as Republican congressional leaders continue to support a man who refuses to distance himself from the Ku Klux Klan. They express shock and outrage that Republican voters cheer Trumps schoolyard taunts. even as they trounce the most common courtesies extended to every President. even as they deny a fair hearing to a Presidents Supreme Court nominee for the first time everthe first timein history.
