    Genuinely unhinged.

    I mean, the logic behind it is, without question, solid: if they said no, they could kiss any chance of continuing to raise money getting half a whiff of the office goodbye. What’s insane is that this is how far things have gone. These people, while running for president, have no choice but to say they would forgive the obvious front runner for anything and everything, just because they’re going to need to rely on votes from people that would.

    If the question were, “how many of you would drop to your knees on live television and fellate Mr. Trump to prove how much you respect him and the United States of America?” the results wouldve been the exact same. They probably would’ve gotten every single hand raised, actually.
