Those members of Congress either directly support Trump's positions or are afraid of Trump's vengeance. W, Reagan's ghost, and Jesus would have been disavowed if they testified against the GOP's orange deity.

on.

ironically, trump killed him. he might have survived the cancer but trump needed him to keep working and he missed and delayed treatments to serve, according to Mark stein, one of his subs.

that's what's happening to the GOP - they're headless without central control of 1500 radio stations

Look for Republicans scramble to get away from the former guy as the stench of his rotting political corpse infuses their party to its rotten core. Greet them all like Atticus Finch greeted the rabid dog (metaphorically speaking).

Let's run on positives: Democrats are the party that gave citizens insurance coverage (no more denials for pre-existing conditions) and lower prescription drug prices. Not One Republican voted for those propositions. None.

but glue. The GOP is stuck to him, and forever I hope. And all these "gee we need Republicans" folks need to wake up and smell the cesspool they've been swimming in for so long. "Government IS the problem" --yeah, when YOU GUYS run it!

They can't "triangulate" themselves out of the super-fund cleanup site of corruption that is DJT. The whole stinking morass needs to suck down every last rat of them.
