It is being alleged they despise the duck and his equally mad "base" and are terrified of his vengeance and wrath so to save themselves they pretend and play along with the mad duck so he doesn't get angry at them and banish them to the cornfield where they are never heard from again!
Can that be true? They are terrified of a fat old duck whose quacks are ignored by all non-Republicans and ridiculed and rejected as being crackpot crazy wackadoodle? What do they fear from him that the rest of the world does not? That he will roast them and eat them? I know he will eat anything but an entire political party? Even for him that's a stretch.
REMEMBER HE IS THE DUCK not the party.
