I have long thought this.

Yes, this is absolutely the case. And in this regard, there are a lot of closeted homosexuals within the GOP. A lot. It is common knowledge within "official Washington." This fact explains much.

Lindsey Graham, Mike Pence. I wonder who else.

I would agree. It is an epidemic of degeneracy.

I have long assumed that there were these kinds of Republicans:

• Those who are REALLY Democrats and vote with them of their own free will. The Classic RINO politicians.
  
  
• Those who are compromised financially and are blackmailed. The Corrupt Grifters.
  
  
• Those who are compromised ethically (as in this case) and are blackmailed. The Twisted, Disgusting Perverts.
  
  
• Those who don't want to upset the Gravy Train that is enriching them. The Greedy Ones.
  
  
• Those who don't want to do anything controversial to rock the boat and bring attention to themselves. The Spineless Ones.

Shameful. That leaves only a very, VERY small number of Republicans who are willing to stand up.
