Ha... Can't believe a Republican Senator said this !!

Interspersed with the traumatic scenes were clips of Trump urging his supporters to march to the Capitol, warning them “if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” and telling them “we love you; you’re very special,” shortly after the attack.

“It just makes you realize what an asshole Donald Trump is," said one GOP senator after watching day two of the House managers' presentation.

The lawmaker suggested that Democrats may ultimately help the GOP by sidelining Trump.


Article's premise is that trump was damaged from impeachment regardless of verdict and likely couldn't ever win again.

Another coward. When faced to choose between courageous and cowardice, the majority of republicans will choose the latter I expect.

have said it - just not in a way that somebody could quote them! I think that we're gonna' see more and more of them slowly crawling out from under their rocks and claiming that they were only "following orders" and 'they hate him as much as we do.'
