In the immortal words of Gomer Pyle "Surprise, surprise, surprise!". The third surprise, shocking may be more accurate, is the unbelievable speed with which Trump's erstwhile boosters have turned on him. It took less than a week for them to blame him for the GOP's historic loss in the mid-terms. It is also remarkable that those who have so quickly turned on him seem to believe that we won't remember what they were saying, incessantly, for the last few years.
Perhaps one shouldn't be surprised, since most were in all probability fair-weather friends, hitching their ride while he was on the up. Now they are cutting him loose as his power appears to be waning. But for Trump it must be devastating to find that all those he selected for their supposedly unwavering loyalty (it clearly wasn't for their experience or intelligence) turned out to be as untrustworthy and instrumental as he. The rats who haven't yet left the sinking ship better make hay while the sun shines. For when he's gone, as Prince says, "in this life, you're on your own".
