They Own Him

[douglas9]

The GOP owns Trump. They bought him. They knew what he was when they nominated him at their convention. They knew what he is when they refused to call any witnesses at his impeachment hearing. They know what he is at his rallies. They own him. The Republican Party is Donald Trump.

They cannot say that his speech last night was sane, productive, or even read well.

This morning, the contradiction and misinformation in the speech is glaring.

They also cannot act surprised that the markets got a black eye along with being kneecapped.

It is their fault. Everyone in the Republican Party, with the exception of (and it pains me to say this) Mitt Romney, is to blame. I don’t care if it’s your county commissioner, anyone who is a Republican is to blame. Unless they stood up and spoke out, they are to blame.

1. Never forget Mitt Romney met with him looking for a Cabinet position

Sure he has separated himself since, but he also accepted him

[JHB]

9. Yep. He gets too much credit for one symbolic vote

Sure, he deserves a trophy, but it's an "I participated" trophy. It's better than the dunce caps the others wear, but let's maintain a sense of proportion.

10. Precisely

and he was willing to go along with more trumped up investigations of the Bidens

[CottonBear]

11. This is one of the creepiest photos of Trump and Romney:

[Laurelin]

2. True

Also, I love Juanita Jean.

[rzemanfl]

3. I have to wash socks. BBL

[mucifer]

4. They got tax cuts, judges. Abortion laws are changing they don't care

[liberalla]

7. So everything else is the cost of doing business... or collateral damage.

Risk vs benefit. They'll put up with anything to get those judges and tax cuts... so ugly and repugnant.

That value system is so wrong.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

5. More, Trump-Republicons (GOP) own this crisis. Putting anti-abortion in bills. McCONnell recessing.

Trump-Republicons own this crisis

Republicons plowed the ground for tRump
Republicons seeded the ground with trumpanzees
Republicons created tRump as a Republ Icon in 2015-16
Republicons elected tRump candidate
Republicons endorsed tRump
Republicons voted for tRump
Republicons enable tRump
Republicons defend tRump
Republicons protect tRump

Trump-Republicons own tRump and this crisis.

15. Trumptards will gladly own this. They will, and are, saying that democrats have politicized this

issue, that it's no worse than the flu, Obama handled the swine flu poorly, anyone can get tested. None of it is
true, but they will say and/or believe it. The one thing they will never, ever, do is admit an error or desert the
cat grabber. You cannot have a rational discussion with a republican.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. They will happily own it UNTIL their mothers' friend dies shortly after their mother hugged her

... or a coworker's brother

... or a server at their favourite restaurant

... or a sports star they have enjoyed watching playing

... or their father.

Eventually the truth will hit them. Some harder than others.

[Patterson]

20. The truth will never ever hit them.

[MLAA]

6. And don't forget, those who voted for him ( in some cases family members and friends or ex friends)

are personally responsible for the state we are in.

[Fla Dem]

8. They got their tax cuts and their Supreme Court Justices. They're happy.

They don't care about anything else.

[Demovictory9]

13. ... and lots of anti-immigrant laws

[Demovictory9]

12. and trump owns the GOP

[blakstoneranger]

14. NEVER FEAR, KELLYANNE CONWAY IS HERE!!

She will twist the facts, create an alternate reality, make us believe that what we saw over the last 3 weeks was not what we saw. She'll twist and pivot until is it is all the democrats fault. With the help of conway, rush limpbaugh and foxnews, mr lucky will come out of this smelling like a rose dipped in turd juice!

16. trDump is the GOP,...

The GOP is trDump....

Once trDump is removed that does not make the GOP all better.
