Several of them Spoke at the DNC convention, while democrats who held what pre-2012 were traditional democratic party positions were systematically excluded (with the one speaker allowed only 90 seconds of speech). Another more typical democratic representative was excluded entirely from the convention despite winning some delegates.
I don't doubt the Republican establishment hates and fears Trump. He is virtually destroying the Republican Party, ruining a gravy train that has been going on for decades. They expressed their true opinions before he got the nomination for 2016. That doesn't mean they haven't swallowed their pride and become bootlicker lackeys. He has enough sway over what is left of the Republican base and is vindictive enough to those who criticize him that he leaves them no choice but to go down with the ship.
It couldn't happen to a finer set of people.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
