With the widespread and completely justified condemnation of Donald Trump's call to bar Muslims from entering the United States, we cats were thinking that perhaps the Republican Party's biggest long-term headache had been temporarily papered over.
And that problem is this: Even with folks calling Trump the pigheaded fascist that he is, the hatemongering, nutcase base of the GOP still thinks that Trump is Statesman of the Year. In fact, more than ever.
We cats checked in on our right-wing friends over at Free Republic for confirmation of this, and it took us exactly three seconds to find comments like:
"Trump makes sense."
"Loving this guy."
"Finally, someone with the courage to speak the truth."
"I’m a Cruz guy. But Trump might have just won me over."
And it goes on and on. The Freeps and the teabags are in thrall with Trump, and totally digging the angst that he's causing the Republican Establishment, whom they roundly hate.
We cats feel like penning a quick note to RNC Chair Rancid Pieface, who just tried to delicately step among the Trump manure piles without soiling his shoes: Mr. Chairman, these are the crazy people whom your party hugged close to its bosom. And now you're paying the price. Especially since we know that 68 percent of them would bolt the GOP for an independent Trump candidacy in the general election. Which makes us cats PURR.
