Rick Wilson: Republicans Are Living in a Climate ‘of Absolute Fear of Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

WILSON: "Because Republicans are living in a climate that they’ve lived in for several years now, of absolute fear of Donald Trump. They fear him more than losing their honor. They fear him more than losing their integrity. They fear a Tweet from Donald Trump more than the most dangerous poisonous snake. There is a sense of terror that they don’t want to cross him. They’ll look for any excuse, no matter how silly to use, to try to defend him. And this whole 'He’s just joking, he’s pranking the media,' it’s a very, very thin reed to cling to and I think it's one they’ll regret doing in a few days because of course, these things always reveal themselves, you know, he did ask it, he was serious, he wasn't joking. These things never work out the way the spin looks at first for the Republican Party."
