Republicans have two choices:

They can choose to support the racist, divisive policies of the Trump/Bannon Party. They can choose to continue down this destructive path.

Or they can choose to follow a more mainstream path of Republicanism, where their racists and dividers are a minority within their Party?

Their choice is to lead or to follow.

Their choices have never been so clear.

that the GOP leadership will be indicted for conspiracy to launder money from foreign governments and foreign sources. Firm evidence has already been gathered and is being prepared for the indictments, if indictments haven't already been sealed and awaiting release. When Mueller is done, there may not be a GOP as we know it today. The degree to which the GOP has been corrupted by foreign money is profound and pervasive. Mueller's team knows this and they are obliged to act.

In response to kentuck, the GOP has headed in an entirely criminal and treasonous direction that nearly makes your "choices" a minor issue. As anyone with a lick of sense would have predicted, the GOP jumped at the chance to gather foreign money after Citizens United was approved by the USSC and opened the floodgates to Russian interference. THEY WERE WARNED and failed to heed the warnings.

But, I think the GOP has one last chance to save themselves or to go under with Trump/Bannon anchor.

They stand with tRump/tRumpism.

They stand with it, they will fall with it. History will take them down.

Someone who on the surface seems OK and does the minimum required of a president. Doesn't rock the boat.

But pushes us into an illegal war and crashes the economy.
The people won't care.
