Top Republican warns Trump that his war against the USPS could kill the GOP in November: ‘We’re screwed’
Published 1 min ago on September 6, 2020By Sarah K. Burris

Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told President Donald Trump in a “private meeting” that the Republican Party could be “screwed” if he continues to fight a war with the U.S. Postal Service.

According to Axios reporter Alayna Treene, McCarthy told the site, “We could lose based on that."

He reportedly spent “hours” with Trump trying to walk through the facts and figures and why it was so crucial for the president to tone down the conspiracy theories, but it was clear the president either didn’t get it or didn’t care.

More at link. Wtaf is wrong with repukes? This asshat doesn't care about people not getting their meds or SS checks, or farmers receiving dead baby chicks.

All he cares about is "winning."

I have news for you, McCarthy: your party winning would be a huge loss for our country! And this time, voters know it!

1. "getting their meds or SS checks" is for losers

[SheltieLover]

2. Right!

Fking assholes!

17. Just what I thought!

[Aristus]

3. I don't think Trump's mind is this subtle,

but back in 2016, he did and said everything he could to lose the election, and came within stealing distance of the Electoral College.

Maybe he's trying the same stratagem this time around, too...

5. Could be

That ec has got to go!

7. You can say that again...

4. I predict massive defections against Trump by incumbent Republicans.

I believe Mitch McConnell told his people that if Trump didn't turn things around by Labor Day, Republican Senators up for re-election should distance themselves from the President.

It is a sinking ship, and the Republicans will jump when that cold water hits their crotch.

6. Mighty big of moscow mitch to give permission

Shitbags!

[Midnight Writer]

11. I think Mitch is the real power in the Republican Party. He has the establishment behind him.

[SheltieLover]

20. Absolutely!

Lock him up!

[regnaD kciN]

19. I predict that such predictions will fall flat...

...just like they did in 2016, when Republican leaders publicly distanced themselves from Trump in the aftermath of the "pussy-grabber" tape, and then all came crawling back within two weeks.

They know that, like it or not, the Republican Party is now the Trump Party, and breaking from 45 will put many of them in deep-red districts at risk -- if not in November, certainly the next time a primary rolls around.

Every republican running should have his image paired with an image of Trump saying "I take no responsibility at all."

And/or an appropriate statement.

And/or some appropriate local contradiction.

8. Rep. McCarthy? No offense, but . . .

Have you been in a coma for the last three years? Remember 2018, after just two years of that idiot in power? That's why you're the House Minority Leader instead of the Speaker. The American people have had another two years of Trump's antics since then. He hasn't improved with the passage of time. You think you're going to nudge him off a temper tantrum when he's convinced himself of some screwy nonsense? Good luck, Kevin.

12. More rope please....and toward

the end of Oct. when he hits rock bottom, toss him a pick and shovel to go deeper.

[SheltieLover]

15. Lol! Good one!

Drop him right into a prison cell! 👍

[Freethinker65]

13. Trump feels he still has a chance with voter disenfranchisement and touch screens

[SheltieLover]

16. And putin's hacking!

Someone needs go stop putin.

[regnaD kciN]

14. Frankly, I doubt Trump cares if the entire G.O.P. gets wiped out, as long as he wins re-election...

Faced with a solidly Democratic Congress, he'd simply bypass them, rule by decree and "executive order," and count on the packed, "unitary executive"-loving SCOTUS to grant him the right to do so.

[SheltieLover]

18. Right

He doesn't care about anything but himself & putin.

[Disaffected]

25. But, a democratic congress would

almost certainly impeach him, especially if he tried ruling by decree or some such.

[Volaris]

26. A 'solidly' democratic congress would impeach his fatass on Feb 1st,

And 'solidly' means this time hed get convicted by the senate.

21. Sounds like the great ass-covering has begun.

Republicans are going to lose big and they will blame it all on Trump.

[SheltieLover]

23. Yup

[Awsi Dooger]

22. USPS topic should be in every Biden and Democratic ad

It resonates everywhere. I can't believe I'm seeing so little of it

[SheltieLover]

24. I agree!

There were bags of mail being dumped in an LA parking lot caught on video!

SS too, as well as disrespect for troops.

Drive it home Joe & Kamala!
