The real problem is when you try to figure out WHY Trump's "base" sticks with him.  I get it when his Family does it (financial gain and just Daddy issues).  I get it when his aides and insiders do it (financial/employment interests, allure of power, "hope" it will pay off into their golden years), and I get it when those who stand to benefit directly from his policies and actions do it (financial gains).  I even get it when his racist, ignorant or insane following does it.  Their sad and/or reprehensible motivations are at least understandable (albeit all dangerous, and much disagreeable and obscene).   Even the smartest of his surrogates are just sounding and looking incredibly undignified and dishonest.  But that only accounts for about 15-20% of the country (with about 1% being non-racist).  That means there is about 20% of the nation that still hangs on.  That's 20% of people who risk losing their integrity.  Unless, of course, that 20% is actually racist, ignorant or insane???
