Steven Beschloss: "They must be held accountable."

@StevenBeschloss

Think how many Republicans are now wondering why they went all in with Trump. When he finally goes down, when the mountain of lies & crimes makes his exit unavoidable, plenty of Republicans will desperately try to justify why they enabled this.

1. they may rationalize, but cannot justify their conspiracy

[dem4decades]

2. It will be up to Democrats to call each and every one out that backed Trump/Russia over

the USA.

And may the name Trump/Russia or Putin's Trump be the only way he is referred to when calling out the Republicans.

11. He should be called Treason! Nothing more.

[Roland99]

3. Because they did more than rationalize it. They're actually in on it!

[2naSalit]

4. Exactly...nt

[BigmanPigman]

5. Still, far too many Americans have the memory of a gnat

and will forgive and forget like they always do. This is why we repeat history, no one ever learns from it for very long.

6. I lived in DuPage County when

Nixon went down. I was amazed at how many repiggies, in politics and out, had never heard of Tricky Dick and had not voted for him.

We have social media now and it will be harder to do that if/when trump goes down.

8. Get that library card or that Barnes and Nobles membership lined up

So that when the avalanche of books hits the news stands . . . .

"We're all gonna be a bunch of readin' MFers soon." quoth my neighbor. Amen, brother, amen.

19. In a decade we're going to find out the truth

about Trump, after dozens of books, documentaries and videos come out.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

20. it is not going to take that long.

There's money in them thar tell-alls, just a'waitin' to be made. As greed/ego-driven as some of these people are, I doubt we'll have to wait ten years to start reading about the scandals. Besides some people will want to get out front of the others if or no other reason than to exonerate themselves.

This could get to be fun. Dueling publish wars.

9. Never forget, never forgive!

Never.

Because we nearly lost the Republic through this treachery. Anyone supporting the Trumpster, enabling him now is guilty of selling the country down the river.

For money, for power, for whatever.

Never forget! Hold these suckers accountable.

[Martin Eden]

10. They jumped aboard the Trump train

And they deserve to go over the cliff with it.

12. Republicans have been heading toward fascism for decades. They finally made it.

As much as I respect Steven Beschloss, I'm it's no surprise that Republicans have slipped into full-blown fascism much quicker and with a far better fit than O.J. had with the bloody glove.

[blue-wave]

13. There is no justification

for traitors.

[edhopper]

14. Big mistake the Dems made in 08

letting the Criminal BUshies off the hook.

Don;t do it with the Trumps.

[JudyM]

24. Maddeningly true. There is no justification for this type of collegiality.

[Hamlette]

15. is this Michael's brother?

[dlk]

16. After All the Lies and Crimes, They Certainly Need to be Held Accountable

[Catch2.2]

17. Yes!!! Contact your Rep and Senator!

Make sure the Dems don't let them off the hook! If the Dems don't do anything, we"ll have another Republican President!

[RainCaster]

18. Because... abortions

This is the bullshit they will give us. They know that a good 30% of their "base" will believe it. Yes, the selling out of generations, the debt those children will be saddled with, the deadly weapons they will have to endure, the overwhelming cost of health care, the gerrymandered voting districts, the worldwide loss of trust in our country, the total loss of morals in our State Department and DOE and Finance. Shall I go on?

Yes, this is the cost of giving the GOP a shot at leadership in this country. Everyone in the US needs to decide if this was worth it. Well? If you voted for the GOP are you still proud of that?

[duforsure]

21. If they all aren't held accountable

For selling US out to putin and trump, next time we may not be able to survive as a Democracy, because it'll be worse. These corrupt treasonous criminals have to be made an example of for what they've done to our country, especially trump and his family. The Republican party will suffer from this for decades, and the American people will not forget , or forgive all those involved.

23. K&R, the KGOP had all the warnings in the world. Get them on record on supporting Mueller protection

[ooky]

25. They are traitors to their oath of office.
