The Nation: GOP Going Down with Trump. Oh Sure.
It may be common wisdom that congressional Republicans are loyal to the president, but we’re about to see that this is totally untrue. These spineless cowards are loyal to themselves, and when self-preservation conflicts with Trump’s downfall, they won’t be able to run away fast enough.
As with everything, it’s all about timing. Jump too soon and you look like a traitor to the people who elected Trump and still support him, whether you’re talking about the amoral rich people or hateful white morons. Jump too late and you drown in the ocean.
There isn’t a single Republican in either chamber of congress who isn’t carefully planning his exit route, carefully watching the crescendo of evidence against the president and the polls. When the time is right, listen for that chorus of 53 senators and 198 members of the house that goes: “Well, I’m loyal to the United States, and I put my duty to God and the needs of the American people before any party allegiance I may have.”
The cacophony of lies and hypocrisy will be deafening, but they will live to fight another day.
Craig,
Amazing, on the one hand you write applauding Pierre Trudeau’s plea for tolerance and not employing stereotypical images of hatred, on the other you refer to those you politically disagree with as, “amoral rich people or hateful white morons” !
Sadly, over the last three years your obsession with hating the President, has made you into a parody of yourself.
While it’s true President Trump isn’t really a traditional Republican, he’s more of a populist, he has captured the loyalty 80% of the rank and file of GOP party members.
No GOP legislator will abandon the President to the hysterical baying mob that currently dominates the democrats and leftist media.
President Trump will be re-elected by the American people, who understand the President’s achievements, while also understanding and forgiving his foibles and errors of protocol.
The attempts by leftist and Washington elite to remove a President they don’t like because the don’t trust the American people to be sufficiently intelligent to elect “the right” President, will be punished at the polling booth.
The story might be different if the Democrats adopted a moderate and more respectfully dignified campaign,. If the Democrat candidate adopted the policies of Trump, without his more obnoxious personality flaws. The Democrat candidate needs to convince voters he can related to the needs of America, and the American people, in terms that gave confidence to the average person their government understood their aspirations.
The candidate must give them what they want, not bee lectured about how stupid they are and only the Dem’s know whats good for them.
But, that would require a candidate of mush greater character and vision than the current pack of non-entities squabbling in the Democratic convention.
You can’t beat a populist like Donald Trump by copying all his worst aspects and replacing his best aspects with hysterical hypocrisy and cowardice.
