Republican Leaders Are Close To Telling the Truth About Trump

This bold and completely true statement comes from former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt.

No one knows what GOP leaders are planning, but we have to think it’s a mass disassociation from Trump, carefully timed and orchestrated so as to save face with traditional Republican voters.  All these congresspeople from blood red districts need to be able say, “Look, I was loyal to Trump until it was revealed that the voter fraud allegation was a lie, and that he had tried to overturn a free and fair election.  Now it’s time to let the justice process run its course, and for the party to begin a new era of serving the American people with 100% honesty.”

This may sound like a pipedream, but it’s hard to imagine this whole mess progressing in any other way.  There has to be a limit as to how much damage will be allowed to be inflicted on the party.

Suppose this plays out in the manner that appears all but certain from the recent exchange of text messages, and it becomes clear that Trump committed treason.  How much longer will he have support in Congress?

These people are all, every one of them, going to run for the hills.  All I’m suggesting is that it will be a coordinated event.
