Tragic when it happens to someone you actually know, really. Kubler-Ross was so right. ;)
Can’t figure out if they’re stuck in the denial phase or the bargaining phase, but they are not really making much progress to resolution either way.
Trump started his pivot too soon
Raising taxes
Liberalizing the Abortion Plank
Queer Bathrooms For All
These are things he should be doing after he secures the nomination. What Republican is going to go out and vote for Queer Bathrooms For All?
One of Trump’s problems is that he listens to his toadies and yes-men, who are legion. They are telling Trump he is A Winning Winner Who Wins, and that the nomination is in the bag. Trump, who has, shall we say, a healthy level of self-esteem, believes every word. So he has shifted to the post-nomination, cut-the-Republicans-off-at-the-knees portion or the program.
Too soon, Trump. Too soon. It is not yet in the bag.
