Seth Meyers suggests that this should be a serious moment of reflection for the GOP, whose presumptive nominee Donald Trump is a race-baiting, xenophobic, serial liar who peddles conspiracy theories and feels the National Inquirer is a serious newspaper. Most painful to admit – I presume, is that Donald Trump reflects the Republican Party perfectly.
This very funny yet accurate report chronicles the presidential race and beyond. No one took Trump seriously until the GOP courted him along with others of the Birther stripe, carrying signs proclaiming “I Want My Country Back.” The Donald embraces all of the qualities Republicans hold dear, and Seth’s humorous investigation lays the blame on their communal doorstep.
Now that the Stop Trump plan failed, most Republicans are jumping on the Trump train with wild abandon. Their grudges, common sense, and their justifiable criticism of Trump are forgotten. As Seth notes, while they failed to stop Trump, a punch in the face, followed by a sharp elbow marked the end of Heidi Cruz’s presidential spouse campaign. Cruz is truly tough on women! Fiorina was his running mate just long enough to creep us out with her little song. She vanished into the floor? Shortly afterward Cruz roughed up his wife. Are we all certain he’s not the Zodiac Killer?
