Identity politics

What are you first?

A Republican?
or
An American?

The answer for many of the GOP elite seems to be, "Republican"!

They have all condemned Mr. Donald Trump at some point during the past several months - stating explicitly that Mr. Trump is unqualified to be our next President.
But now they flock to him - explicitly to support the GOP!

"Craven" is a word that comes to mind.
"American" is not.
