3. Their actions and words show who they truly are and what they truly believe

In their worldview, the most qualified nominee somehow becomes an unqualified token, purely because of her race and gender, and if they acknowledge her seat at the table somehow that puts their white, male dominated worldview at risk. That same irrational behavior is magnified in their base who fears anything that challenges their lily white idyllic lives & these so called leaders are brazenly pandering to those fears. If you want to understand why this country is so divided, look no further than the actions of these GOP senators and then understand that this same message is being echoed at every level of government down to city councils and proclaimed from many pulpits on Sunday. There is no compromise with these types because they see their view and actions as right and to compromise would put everything they believe in at risk.
