"It's too divided," Boehner said of the Trump administration, explaining why he did not want to return to Congress._______________________________________________________________________________________
He is the 2nd republican who publically stated the reason for leaving was Mr Trump vs the other republicans... I wish I could recall the person's name, but another one said the reason he was not staying in congress is that is all he was asked about was ..."What do you think of what Trump did?" He was very tired of having to defend Trump, explain Trump, or try to calm the crowd down, because what "Mr Trump was doing, was going to do or what he did".. Or what Mr. Trump said about this or that.
....There was no other focus for discussion said that politician. I am guessing, (don't know..so it is a guess) that this is..the major reason why so many of them are leaving congress. They can't take it. Trump is one hard act to defend...and that is it. The republicans cannot take it. Trump is their leader, and they can't take it any more.
We have a great opportunity to take back both houses of congress this fall. I sure hope we take advantage of this very special opportunity..

As we get closer to November, I expect a few republicans will stand up against Trump. A few. It will get much uglier..Also, very mean and vicious, because that is what they are...
Anyway... I sure hope that Republicans lose both houses in the fall.

it is my opinion that they know they'll lose in November. also getting out while the getting is good since most if not all are corrupt and many by Russia.
