Nicole Wallace Calls It: Republicans Are Cowards, Fearful of a Mean Trump Tweet

.


The host mentioned a recent New York Times column by Tom Friedman searching for a Republican to primary Trump in 2020.

Wallace laughed at the column, which she labeled as “fantasy.”

“This is fiction,” Wallace argued. “There’s not a Republican who could stand a mean tweet.”

Wallace served as communications director in the George W. Bush White House and has worked multiple GOP presidential campaigns.

“The Republicans, I mean they are the party of cowards,” Wallace said. “The idea there’s going to be one that will land on a grenade? There’s not one that can stomach a tweet.

“There’s not a Republican in this country who thinks they’re man or woman enough to handle a mean tweet from Donald Trump,” she argued. “You’ve got to evaluate the Republican Party as it is and as it is right now there’s not one Republican who could stomach a mean tweet from Donald Trump.”

Republicans are a craven bunch on social media, too. They know they will be jumped by the Hivemind the moment one even thinks Trump's shit isn't normal.

they're afraid of the guy trump paraded out on the golf course the day after the mueller report came out, the guy who steered the gop into this disaster - limbaugh

he played golf with him to drag him into the open to say "if you cross me this guy will call you a traitor a few times on 600 of the loudest radio stations on the planet and make sure you never win another election and you and your staff will get screamers on the phones threatening you"

all americans have to do is stop ignoring talk radio and the republicans will desert the dumbshit
