(23,953 posts)the GOP is now Trump's death cult, if they're bleeding something it's unlikely to be support for their leader Orange Lame Duck (OLD)

they stand by him until the minute the clock has run out and it appears he's a loser.
how completely self-serving.

(4,425 posts)Unnamed GOPers tut-tutting about his behavior is nothing but a sideshow. They are, all of them, completely under his thumb. The GOP needs to be burned to the ground.

(3,622 posts)The Democratic party let's them off the hook at their own peril...
Republicans got away with Reagan, Bush, DeLay, Armey, Shrub, Ryan, Gingrich, Duke and others ad nauseum.
All in the name of "... bringing america together..." or some other nauseating version thereof.
It's time to play it straightforward....

(2,992 posts)We showed them the cost of supporting Trump in 2018.
We impeached the motherfracker.
And it's not as though Trump's current behavior is some sort of aberrant level of loutishness. The arrogant bullying loudmouth we see now is the same arrogant bullying loudmouth we've seen for years.
This is on them now.

To borrow from Heinleins Citizen of the Galaxy:
People will do strange things for money but the will do more drastic things for power over money. They need the power to continue to enrich themselves.

(5,395 posts)Trump really has gone too far, the GOP needs to cut loose and reinvent itself as a caring and sharing party?
Four years, and not a murmur!
Rats, sinking ship! Trump goes down, the GOP clutching at straws to prevent the same happening to them. Don't believe it for one second!
