Republicans at this point have entirely divorced themselves from reality. Roy Moore spokeswoman Janet Porter Anderson was interviewed by Anderson Cooper yesterday and claimed that the accusations against Moore were part of a massive conspiracy orchestrated by the media, the Democratic party, and (of course) George Soros.

The Republican party has hit full on "up is down, down is up" territory. It's been bad for a while but the past couple years have truly gone off the rails. And there are still tons of people who will continue to vote for them every time because there is an "R" next to their name. Trump once said he could shoot someone in public and not lose votes, and I believe him.
