I figured it out: Republicans are lemmings!

With news like this breaking: 

Live updates: Senate confirms Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence:

The Senate has confirmed former Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard as President Donald Trump‘s director of national intelligence by a 52-48 vote after Republicans who had initially questioned her experience and judgment fell in line behind her nomination. The only “no” vote from a Republican came from former Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

I’ve finally figured out this current crop of republicans in Congress:  Took me a while to wrap my head around the insane reality that they are all lining up behind our Sociopath-in-Chief and being good little Senators doing what they are told… But with the one exception of Mitch McConnell (who might just be too old and confused to realize anything)…

THEY ARE ALL LEMMINGS.  FOLLOWING ONE ANOTHER OFF THE CLIFF!
