I have often wondered why a spouse would put up with an abusive relationship. Why not just leave or call the police and press charges? Wouldn’t anything else be better than being beaten? Or, how long would anyone put up with this if you chose to try and make it work . . and, after all that, it continued?
On a personal level, I thought it had to do with a lack of personal support or means. Or, perhaps, not believing that there was something better. On a personal level it is sad and a lot more complex than I understand.
However, this is the situation with the Republican party. Because they didn’t have the integrity to stand up to the bully, they have been lambasted, beaten, and thrashed by the bully . . and I have to say, in this case, they deserved it. They could have and should have stood up and ended this thing.
But, they cower in a corner. SAD.
