"SNIP..........


The chorus of Republicans speaking out against Donald Trump continued to gain traction on Monday, with GOP Congressman Charlie Dent leaping to the defense of Tennessee Bob Corker and urging more members of his party to take on the president.

In an interview on MSNBC, Dent said, “I’m glad that Senator Corker” has spoken out against Trump.

Dent, who has announced that he will not be seeking re-election at the end of his term, was asked whether it’s easier to criticize Trump because he won’t be returning to Congress, and he responded:

Well, I was critical before the 2016 election, I never endorsed Trump. So I’ll be very honest with you. … A lot of these comments from the president have been disquieting, to say the least. And let’s be honest, we’ve had a lot of these emperor has no clothes moments, and I’m glad that Sen. Corker has brought voice to this. We are concerned – my colleagues, my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate are concerned by much of the dysfunction and disorder and chaos at the White House. … We have these conversations all the time and we have to do better and I think more of my colleagues should speak up. They say things privately that they don’t say publicly.

1. "We are concerned----" A great admission.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. We are approaching a tipping point. There will be a sudden avalanche for impeachment.

Republicons will be fighting each other to get to microphones to 'splain how they have so frequently chastised tRump and hope you forget their endorsements and praise.

3. Yep - the emperor has no clothes moments

That says a lot, doesn't it?

[ProudLib72]

5. I don't believe they will back down from their support

If they drop their support for Dotard, then they have to face the problem of legitimacy. It's not just legitimacy concerning Russia, but why in the hell the RNC would let such an embarrassment become prezident in the first place. It calls into question the GOP as a whole. Nah, I see them muttering in the backroom until something comes along that either forces their hand or takes away the problem for them. You can argue that they will be shooting themselves in the foot if they wait indefinitely, but they are not known for their reasoning skills.

4. It only takes one

to get the ball rolling, we must add to this. We were tough on them during Town Halls when they were afraid to confront their constituents. We must push forward. I think we all know what is going on THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

[Lucky Luciano]

6. This is fine...

[Mr. Ected]

7. Trumpism and Freedom Caucus are a cancer to the GOP

We may just have to let nature take its course with this patient.

8. But there are enough rich Mercer type families to keep both going

artificially for a while.

[LittleGirl]

9. Cowards, all eom

[pangaia]

10. Well I am glad another one is saying SOMETHING,

even though it is such a cowardly, wishy-washy, pissant, milquetoast statement..

Come on Charlie,., say it.. he''s a fucking mentally disturbed moron. a narcissist, a psychopath, sociopath, take you pick.. and a danger to all humanity..And YOU GUYS picked him to run..

Why are you holding back, huh?

[safeinOhio]

11. The rest are trying to hold out

until their Sugar Daddy's get their tax bill signed. Then they will all jump ship.

[Skittles]

12. there will be initial feeble attempts but then they will fall in line like the NFL owners

well I do hope I am wrong

[Willie Pep]

13. Rats leaving the ship?

Do they sense that Trump is going to sink them come election time and want to distance themselves from him?

[TBA]

14. When will the Republicans push for impeachment?

When the Koch brothers tell them to.
