How do Republicans explain Donald Trump in the future?

[kentuck]

Are they going to follow Orrin Hatch's proclamation that he is the "greatest" President of his lifetime?

How will they explain away the incompetence and insanity and instability?

Are they waiting for something catastrophic to happen, so they can say they agree with their Democratic colleagues that something must be done?

In the meantime, they will try to fill the pockets of their coffers, and pray that nothing will happen that will make them come to their senses?

How do Republicans "spin" Donald J Trump?

1. Here's my theory ...

They'll blame this entire fiasco of a pResidency on his mental instability - which they will insist was not evident before they elected him, but was triggered by the stress of the office.

2. It's just a matter of time.

A balloon can only hold so much air before it explodes.

It's going to explode.

5. Yes, it is.

And the GOP are going to have to do some fancy mouth-work to explain why they foisted this idiot on the country in the first place. Citing his "mental illness" seems to be their only option at this point.

3. They can dismiss Trump

But they will never be able to dismiss their own compliance with the treason of the Trump family.

4. I think they will resuscitate the 'Know Nothing' party?

Back then the anti-immigration party was called 'Native American'..what irony!

6. Republicans never worry

about the consequences of their actions. They always do what they want and worry about fixing it later.

They will back "the enemy of my enemy," without regard that the current "enemy" was the previous "enemy of my enemy."

They welcome in the Tea Party nuts, believing they will control the crazies, and now the power in the party ARE the crazies from the Tea Party (which is something Richard Painter can never admit).

They will scream about "unprecedented obstruction" when the opposition behaves the way they did.

They change the rules on the fly, and lie about the Obamacare votes when expected to follow the existing rules.

7. The Republicans and their rich overlords are in power. They just tell us how it has to be.

No explaining required. What are we going to do about it anyway?

8. In the future

there might not be any Republicans.

I can dream.

9. Future Republicans plan to be worse than Trump

and thus make us look fondly back to the good days under Trump...
