I really don't believe it's hate, I think professional pols are too jaded to let excess emotion cloud their plotting. I really think this bizarre behavior is due to two things: Trump represents an existential threat to their way of life and their power structure, primarily because he's an outsider that cannot be controlled because he owes no one, and secondly, because the nature of his threat is so outrageous, and they are so entrenched, that they have a paucity of creative solutions at their disposal; they're in such a deep rut they can no longer innovate. Hence they have turned to the political-nuclear weapons and have somehow convinced themselves that Mutual Assured Destruction is the way to go. Won't they be surprised.

Prostate cancer is ridiculously easy to test for, simple blood test added to your yearly checkup, and all it requires is that you pay attention to its trend. Caught early there is a very good chance of cure, and robotic surgery these days is not terribly invasive with pretty quick recovery, if in good general health. Deal with it early, get a good subsequent chance of long life. I know three guys that procrastinated and are now facing grim, slow, long-term declines. Test yearly, trend it, don't procrastinate. Autopsies show that 80% of men who are 80 yrs old or better have some sign of the disease.
