Do not stand in the way of your enemy shooting himself repeatedly in the foot.

Frankly, the Dem's condemning his actions serves no purpose here, and if anything may actually unite the GOP in opposition. At this point, the more Republicans that come out against Trump, the more you'll see something resembling a moderate wing beginning to reform among the GOP. It's needed, desperately. What remains - what Trump has weaponized - is they dying remnants of an extremist movement. Without a demagogue in power, they'll eventually fade away.
