Remember how McCarthy, Graham, etc. on January 6th, walked away from trump for 24 hours, after

which they couldn't run fast enough to kiss his ring.

I wouldn't expect this sudden appearance of repukes turning their back on trump to last very long.

I hope we win both Houses, but if we don't have the majority in the House, it will be interesting to see if the republicans in that chamber hold their own January 6th investigation. That would tell the story just how loyal they are to trump I think

I was really uplifted by seeing Joe Biden’s attitude yesterday. Relaxed, happy, confident. That’s the way Democrats should fight. Not with petty hatred the way Republicans do

11. The reason they ran back to Trump was because he likely has kompromat on them.

Regardless of what happens regarding control of Congress, it's about to get really interesting. I look forward to their self-immolation.

As this election shows, however, the rest of the country do not believe in it. And, there are a lot more of us. Which is why the New York comPost and other right-wing entities are running away from him now.

14. Best laugh I had was when Trump stuck McCarthy with the bill for their dinner at Mar-A-Lago.
