​Why John, this seems to me to be totally normal behavior for the current
slate of Repubs.  Do you think this is somewhat unusual?  ​

​​Cowboys are all Repubs, aren't they?  Or at least the wannabes.  Highly
predictable, I'd say.  Scream at the top of your voice and carry the
biggest stick, ride in a Humvee.  Will Trump be the first comb-over
president?  Combing over not just his bald spots but his earlier political
positions?

I personally experienced Earl Long and George Wallace (early rabble rousers
and demagogues for those of you overseas).  (Earl won the entertainment
value contest hams down - showed up on a flat bed truck, wearing one of
those old man T shirts, sweating and drinking from a pint bottle and giving
away hams and tubs of lard "Give a ham to the nigger lady in the back"
while a country music band played.  And he won.  Easily.  For US Rep
central LA.  Died two weeks later - heart.)  Democrats in those days, of
course.
