Are forces allied against him? Yes, absolutely.
And it is one of the very few cases of politicians showing some kind of moral compass and deciding to work together for the common good.
If you'll notice, the vast majority of the attacks on Trump have to do with truly meaningful aspects of protecting the interests of America. The fact that he encourages violence and courts conflict, the fact that he would likely either create disastrous foreign policy or the military would simply refuse to obey him, the fact that he is ignorant of everything related to government, his insane fiscal ideas, his blatantly anti-constitutional ideas, etc, etc, etc. They're being really substantive about it. Apart from some stupid jockeying in the primary, the criticism of Trump is largely grounded in stuff that's actually important, from both parties.
I see politicians, for once in their godforsaken lives, being genuinely interested in preserving America's fundamental well-being. Even when it involves slitting their own throats, as it has for some Republicans.
It's not as though we're all just learning now that Trump is an ignorant narcissist. Everyone's known that for decades. His history of saying and doing messed up things goes back much further than this election cycle.
I am still terminally jaded when it comes to our politicians, but actually, seeing the way they're talking about Trump has given me a small glimmer of hope that they're not all completely empty shells. Just mostly. But if it's critical enough, important enough, dangerous enough, they bring out their little sliver of humanity to play.
This is a load of horse crap.
The "moral compass" those politicians have points directly at money. They...and especially Hillary...don't give a rat's ass about "preserving America's fundamental well-being".
