How Republicans lost control over Trump

It all begun during the 2015 Primaries when Donald Trump began misbehaving on stage and no called him out, including his 16 peers on stage and the media that found the whole exercise entertaining instead of downright appalling.

From “Low energy Jeb” to “Lying Ted” or “Little Rubio”, no one had the practical understanding of the maneuver and gut to say something, or better yet organize the group into demanding a “cease-and-desist” from the offender. 

Had he kept on misbehaving, the group would have kicked him out of the debate and Trump would have never penetrated the political arena. They were so shell-shocked by the man that they forgot to think clearly and by so doing, protect themselves from the deadly intruder. 

By choosing to do nothing, the group began the process of enabling the monster and creating normality in his behavior as seen by the American public. By the end of the primary, Trump was established in his role of name-caller and iconoclast and a substantial segment of the population warmed up to him in the process as they gladly drank his snake-oil medicine. 

It then continued with the Democratic Party Primary and later with Hillary Clinton and the die was cast. Something to remember next time a would-by-tyrant rear his ugly nose.
