Every Republican leader who is deciding finally to
stop supporting Trump or demanding that he change his sexist ways, is just a
lesser species of scumbag; for not vetting him properly from the start, for not
abandoning him when proof of his misogyny began to trickle out, for not knowing
that a person like Trump must have hundreds of such skeletons in the closet. If
being caught on tape advocating sexual assault is what it takes for you to turn
on your candidate, then your own judgement is beyond repair and you are part of
the social problem, and you should yourself resign. They say it's never too
late to do the right thing, but there is a point after which you don't get to
claim moral credit, after which you yourself should be repentant only. The
nomination of Trump itself stands as an indictment of the moral vacuity of the
Republican Party, and an offense that should not be forgotten.
If American democracy is a computer game, and
Hillary is completing women’s hundred-year quest to get to The Oval Office, it
kind of makes sense that a guy like Trump would be the final boss.
