I used to think they caved because they were afraid of the race card, and things like that. Now, I am far more cynical of them. They play with him, because I think the GOPe are complicit with him. They are two sides of the same coin.
I have reached the same conclusion. The "Partisan Divide" in DC is a lie. That is just a myth to keep us rubes in fly over land quite while we mindlessly cheer for one "side" or the other. The truth is there is one "Uniparty" in DC. It is Uniparty that is an unholy alliance between Political Power/Media Propaganda/Big Business Money. All the squabbling in DC is the fight over which piglet is going to get which slot at the tax money trough.
I think you’re exactly right. All of them are common criminals.
