Note to the GOP

[NanceGreggs]

Allow me to point out the bleedin' obvious: The easily-led, just as the term spells out, are easily-led .

In other words (as though any other words should be necessary), the same voters who were easily-led to worship Trump could have just as easily been convinced to abandon him.

And God knows you had many, many opportunities to lead your sheep away from the wolf that is now devouring your party - but you puckered-up and kissed his fat ass instead.

There were so many times during Trump's tenure in office that you could have said, "This is a step too far. This is not what we stand for as a party. We need to get back to our core principles."

But you didn't. All you did was cower in the corner - terrified of losing the oh-so-easily-manipulated sheeple that you could have oh-so-easily-manipulated into doing the bidding of the party, rather than the bidding of an orange-faced buffoon.

Fate handed you two golden opportunities to save yourselves and turn things around. Simply by saying that blackmailing the president of Ukraine was unacceptable, or stating that attempting to overthrow the government was an obvious act of treason, you could have won back the easily-led without breaking a sweat - instead of drowning in your own flop-sweat trying to cover your own asses after the fact.

You PTB in the GOP could have stopped the madness you are now chained to. You could have pointed out your resolve not to defend the indefensible. You could have persuaded the easily-persuadable that Trump's vision of a divided nation was not your vision. You could have guided your sheep away from the slaughterhouse.

I'll say it again - slowly for your benefit: The easily-led are just as easily-led in one direction as they are in another. The voters who are distracted by one shiny object are just as easily distracted by another.

But the only shiny objects you chose to present were glossy 8 x 10 photos of your visits to Mara-Lago, smiling like spineless lunatics as you kissed the butt of the idiot who is destroying your party.

I'll say it one more time, for the OMG! If we turn on Trump, we'll lose all his supporters' votes crowd: The easily-led ARE easily-led.

And why you never figured that out speaks for itself.
