Republicans act "shocked-shocked!" about the inevitable Trump indictment

Republicans voted for Donald Trump because they fell into a cult trance believing the "you're fired" reality character Trump would somehow be fit to lead the free world.  "NOT!"

Republicans cannot put the reality freak Trump genie back into the bottle!

This opinion echo letter led me to challenge Republicans about their wrong minded obsession with Donald Trump. 

Part of this opinion blogged her was published in The Philadelphia Enquirer: 

Now, Americans wish we could put the reality genie back into the jar. It is no small task putting the genie back in the bottle. This genie was released when Donald Trump, a reality-TV character and real estate mogul with a questionable business background (including several bankruptcies), was allowed to capture our attention during the 2016 presidential race. Calling Mexicans rapists and Democrats socialists, and making up a steady stream of lies, the media ate it up with front-page headlines almost every day. 

In fact, I clearly remember ABC’s George Stephanopoulos grinning from ear to ear as he repeatedly said Trump was “doubling down” on his outrageous statements. Entertainment trumped real news, ratings soared, and Trump’s campaign took off without spending a penny on advertising. 

Sadly, entertainment, no matter how ridiculous, is more interesting to the average American TV viewer than hard news and the difficult decisions that must be made in a democracy about our country and our future. 

Now comes Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, from the bluest of blue cities in one the bluest of blue states, who reignites the media firestorm. Thirty-four felony counts for a series of sexual trysts and falsifying business records for illegal political purposes.

Yet Republicans act like they are "shocked! shocked!", about the indictment of Donald Trump. Republican hypocrisy has no bottom.

P.S. Maine Writer- Although Republicans are in cult lock step acting in outrage about the Trump indictment, the fact is, the best predictor about a person's behavior is to look at what they have done in the past.  Donald Trump's indictment in Manhattan was inevitable.
