All those comments from leading Republicans back then and today they all have their heads so far up his ass they can't see straight. What the hell happened to make them make such a drastic turnaround? Money? They all have money. Power? They have their own power. Blackmail? How could he have so much on every single one of them? I guess I'm asking what's in it for them?

I've changed my mind about things in my life but never have I ever thought someone was despicable and then later came to think they were the greatest person on earth.
