    Okay, one big thing I've been getting wrong the last year is consistently expecting more Republican resistance to Trump.

        @HeerJeet reminds me of star wars episode 3, where the Chancellor Palpatine slowly takes over, and then transforms into the Emperor.

        @HeerJeet Early on Rs didn't resist bcus wanted Trump to say stuff they "couldn't". Later, they were trapped having not said anything before

        @HeerJeet If Republicans excel at anything, it's grabbing their ankles on command.

        @HeerJeet Level of resistance we're seeing to him as presumptive nominee is historic. May not continue, but right now the party is divided.

        @HeerJeet I'm a Democrat so it's no surprise I found Trumps commentary strangely pleasing. Unlike the establishment he doesn't fake decency😒
