They are too cowardly to stand up to Trump because the monster (Trump's base) will turn on them. For all the complaints about Trump being persecuted, that is all just posturing to keep his base in their corner. They WANT one of these prosecutions to send him to prison so they don't have to take the blow back of taking out Trump themselves.

I think the same with a lot of the Democratic members also. Probably the same in every government in every nation.

Probably a little guy in an office somewhere that tells them what to think and say

Someone ( a Democrat) this weekend called for an investigation of Biden handling of classified documents. I remember the lock step march to Iraq war. The march to get Al Franken out of the senate.

I feel though that since a lot of the older ones retiring that a lot of this will change in the Democratic Party. The Republicans are conservative and as long as they are conservative they will never change. Conservatives have always be very status quo. If their ship is sinking they won't put a patch on the leak as that would not be keeping with the status quo.

And protecting their careers.

Moral cowards, they are terrified of losing votes.

And they too are guilty of assisting with the insurrection and taking money from Putin, etc.

Someone brought up the point that Trump went to Waco because he owed so much money to other cities and he had to pay in advance for this rally visit.

Yet he stayed with the party.

Where did he think it would all end?

That said I like Steve and respect him for trying to clean up the mess he helped create.

But he found his voice now and is doing well.
Don't know if he is making any money...
