Forget "Party over Country"—For GOPers Party Is Thicker Than Blood

This week, Senator Ted Cruz [R-TX], a man who during the most recent Republican presidential primaries was the recipient of such pleasantries as accusations of his father being involved in the Kennedy assassination; the slander of his wife; and publicly and repeatedly called a liar; wrote a glowing and slobbering bit of praise for the man who said all those things and more.
The most recent edition of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People" includes the current POTUS, and while many were likely more than willing to lay sycophantic petals at his feet, who better to put on the kneepads than the servile punching bag without honor?

Meanwhile, Senator John McCain [R-AZ], a man who Trump has insulted and mocked numerous times, had his eldest offspring, Meghan McCain of The View, covertly defend Trump by lashing into former FBI director James Comey during his recent appearance on the daytime talk show. McCain proffered a series of baseless, ridiculous and ultimately laughable accusations and assertions (namely, that the paragon of justice that was J. Edgar Hoover "is rolling in his grave" over Comey's depictions of Trump as an unfit commander-in-chief) that seemed taken right out of a Hannity or Fox and Friends playbook.

Basically, Republicans will be served shit for dinner and ask for seconds if it means advancing their agenda. No amount of insults or humiliation is enough to push back, stand tall and preserve their dignity—not when there's a dirty chalice of power to drink from.
