weatherman: ...it seems his cheerleading GOP weasels smell a loser, and are backing away...

Actually, most are pleading ignorance.

What's interesting is that not a single republican here has said a word.

What's even more interesting is what this tells us about the Orange Idiot and why he is so unfit for the presidency: all Robinson had to do to gain Trump's favor and endorsement was flatter Trump. Mark Robinson showed us just how easy it is for crazy or evil people to manipulate Trump with flattery. Trump didn’t care about Robinson's past embrace of Naziism, peeping, desire to own slaves, remarks that women deserved to be raped or even his current outrageous statements because Robinson repeatedly said Trump was the best president ever and the election was stolen.

If Trump's head is so easily turned by flattery from someone like Robinson, imagine how easy it is for Putin or Xi or Jong Un or Orban to do the same.

Trump admitted it on the debate stage: "Look, Viktor Orban said it. He said the most respected, most feared person is Donald Trump," Trump boasted.

Flattery, that's all it takes.

Oh, and a couple of hundred million here, $2 billion there.
