for the Repug nomination in 2020? You know Walsh, Weld, Scaramochi, Sanford, maybe even Kasich
They know that Trump is taking down the whole Party with him but they can't come out on their own and openly challenge Trump because that doesn't send the right message and quite frankly they might even fear Trump.
- They have to back the incumbent. They have to appear supportive of Trump.
- They fear Trump repercussions that could even inflict more trouble to the Party than just his crazy antics and lies.
So I'm thinking the Repug Party/RNC is encouraging these guys to challenge Trump and sending out (and maybe secretly supporting) these surrogates.
Just a thought because it seems like these guys only recently came out of the woodwork (almost all once) to present this challenge to Trump.
It almost seems like a concerted effort to take out Trump with these so-called Repugs - but not any of those Repugs that are currently serving in the House or Senate. Almost like those that are currently serving in the House or Senate are afraid of Trump and what he could do to them - but in the back hallways of Congress support these surrogates that don't have that much to risk if they challenge Trump.
What do you think?

(15,241 posts)These puppets are being tugged about by strings from below that are hardly visible, but the influences are still there.
Of course perps like the lobbyists who can wear any label that fits them depending on circumstances are a good way to influence the weak-minded and greedy. See if there's not a lot of money coming from the Koch(es), overseas, merdelocks, etc. that isn't being filtered through many levels of shells and shills.
