The GOP plan is to keep Trump around long enough to sign all their bills into law, and then impeach him over the current scandal du jour. Then, when Pius Pence is all ensconced in the White House the conservative talking heads will start blathering about how "Trump was never a real Republican." The 'no true Scotsman' bull$#!t that conservatives always use when their ridiculous ideology fails to work the way they expect.
-Tax cuts didn't create jobs? Well, that only means we didn't cut taxes ENOUGH.
-We de-regulated the banks, and they ended up crashing the economy? Well, that just proves that all those gubmint regulatory agencies are useless!
-Trump made everything worse? Well...he was never a REAL conservative.
We've heard it all before, so we can't claim to be caught by surprise six months from now when they're using the same old lines.
What we have to do now is cut off that escape route before they can use it. What we have to do NOW, at EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY...at EVERY PRESS CONFERENCE, at EVERY TOWN HALL...is keep on asking all the GOP Congressmen if they AGREE with Trump. If they SUPPORT Trump. EVERY TIME about EVERY ISSUE.
Trump was elected with 80% Republican support! We should not leave the GOPers in Congress ONE OUNCE of oil to slither out of this!
I'd recommend STARTING BY SPREADING THIS IMAGE. TRUMP? GOP---YOU BUILT THAT!
