It will take 17 people, out of the 350 Million citizens who have any chance of saving the Republican Party as a viable, political concern or entity, if you will, in the next week.
That's a bit alarming when you think of it, that only 17 people will make that decision.
With 70+ million voters, who want that party to survive, it seems that the Trumpian 'TV-mindset' of...
"does it look good on TV",
"hows the TV ratings?"
and
"what a cow"
are the manifesto of those millions. These are the utmost beliefs of all Republicans.
If I were a republican, (which I'd never be and only voted once for one, who was against Nixon and the Viet Nam War)...
I'd be storming the local party offices demanding they impeach this 'mistake' and make every effort to swing my electedoficials into compliance of some standard of behavior, some dedication to Constitutional laws and the political mandates that have allowed our parties to thrive. Was the GOP such a mess, prior to Trump to have this mess occur, so easily and with such speed?
But if it's the 'way of the whigs' and the 'mouths that will not shut' are what they want, ok. Then the 17 people it shall be.
But no finger pointing and blaming them after all is said and done.
