Jake Tapper gives a quick clinic on how to cover the Trumpatistas.
Meanwhile, Bannon tries to insinuate himself back into Trump's good graces.
As Tapper put it:
“I get it. There’s one viewer that you care about right now and you’re being obsequious, you’re being a factotum in order to please him, okay?” Tapper finally interjected. “And I think I’ve wasted enough of my viewers’ time.”
Here is the critical reality of Republican politics: They are falling all over themselves to suck up to this obviously mentally unfit toad in the Oval Office. They do it, because they realize he's a committed narcissist and whomever flatters him, has his ear.
As Trump spirals more and more out of control, they will simply suck up to him more and more. This is the reality of Authoritarian Conservatism. Sure, there are a few principled Small Government Conservatives who whimper ineffectually on the sidelines from time to time.
But obesiance to Dear Leader is now the default position of all Republicans.
