Top of the World, Ma!

       Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, whose conservative credentials are far better than those of Orange Blatherskite, has nonetheless decided to nail her flag to Trump's mast.  Showing loyalty to someone who shows none to his Attorney General seems a big mistake.  Apparently, Jeff Sessions is supposed to refuse to prosecute Republicans when they break the law.  What's more, apparently Orange Blatherskite also called his own Attorney General a "stupid Southerner" and "mentally retarded."  (Remember all those people who tried to say that he hadn't made fun of a journalist's disability, and Ann Coulter's worrisome explanation that O.B. was ridiculing a "standard retard?"  Some pro-lifer, that Donald Trump!)
       How will Marsha Blackburn use Trump to win votes when Tennessee voters are, in the president's estimation, "dumb Southerners?"  A perplexing question.
       The president shows no loyalty for his underlings.  He uses people for his own advancement, and then throws them away.  Sort of like White Heat gangster Cody Jarrett.  
        In the 90s, Democrats made themselves look terribly silly defending the amoral Bill Clinton through his series of womanizing claims and worse.  Feminists in particular seemed to think legalized abortion made up for a president who used women like Kleenex.  Republicans are starting to look just as silly, defending a lout who can't even treat his own Attorney General with respect.  They should also remember how White Heat ends;  Cody Jarrett is cornered with no escape, and chooses a violent explosion rather than facing more jail time.
