Rick Wilson predicts GOP officials will 'double and triple down' on Trump trusting Putin

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace had a message for the right-wing propaganda machine during her Monday show: Get off the Titanic now! But former Republican Rick Wilson said he doesn’t anticipate any Republicans abandoning President Donald Trump or the right-wing any time soon.

“I predict we will see them double and triple down,” Wilson said.


“On what? A guy who didn’t believe America on North Korea?” asked a shocked Wallace.

The comments came after reviewing the “60 Minutes” video of Andrew McCabe revealing that Trump trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin over American intelligence agencies when it comes to North Korea.

Putin and Trump have the GOP by the cajones, and the GOP opted to pitch in with a foreign power because the other option would exposed them to what the Russians had on them.

The republicans are compromised, and they have turned their backs on truth, honor, duty, and America. Great shame is theirs.

My theory is that once he becomes a lame duck, they believe the enthusiasm to pursue him for all of his transgressions will subside, and they can just ride him out until 2024 and then pretend like he never even existed.

We should never allow them to escape their failure to protect the nation,
Their willingness to support Treason against the nation in their quest for political power.
The question that needs to be asked of them - what did they do when our nation was under attack from domestic enemies of the republic?
