Icon:  You can bet there are millions of Republicans across the nation shaking their heads and asking themselves "how could we be so damn stupid??  

They should have remembered the story of the frog and the scorpion.  For years everyone who could read or watch a little TV should have known what kind of man Donald Trump is.  He made NO effort to hide it...he regaled in it.  He boasted of it.  He paraded it for all to see.  He made millions being himself on Reality TV.  The Real Donald Trump is and has been "right there" for all to see.  

It seems that, indeed, the scorpion has stung the frog...... More and more GOP leaders are running away from Trump as far and as fast as they can... Down-ballot candidates are cancelling any joint appearances and withdrawing even "lukewarm" support of Trump.  VP Candidate Pence, looking forward to 2020, has condemned Trump's comments and is "praying for his family."  ...that's not a good omen.  

The GOP is trying to say "Hey, HE'S NOT REALLY US!!"
