Republicans are beginning to realize their long bacchanal may be over

[dlk]

No doubt they’re scrambling to figure out damage control and a way forward. The Constitution and our republic are merely collateral damage for them.

1. Which way to the vomitorium?

[Iliyah]

2. Republican party is fracturing . . . .

no doubt about it. No matter how many say otherwise, the party is fracturing. Word from the below masses, sane Republican base is fed up.

[ScratchCat]

3. Every republican I know says the same thing

"Why can't he shut up? Why can't he stop Tweeting?"

Of course, I would love to reply, "Why can't you just move on with another candidate?", but I just leave it alone.

[ooky]

4. We are seeing their damage control.

Lie, obfuscate, and promote the nonsense idea to the stupid that Trump has done nothing wrong or impeachable. All while Trump carries out Putin's orders to deliver Ukraine and get sanctions lifted. They will continue to do so as long as they don't lose their voters.

6. I think a kind answer to that, one that may help them reframe and think:

"Of course every president is flawed, but this one is simply too flawed to hold the office."

Start popping those cogwheels into motion.

[Kid Berwyn]

5. They are starting to realize the public is on to their scam.

Too late to change their fate, fortunately.

7. Don't get ahead of ourselves.

The GOP is nowhere near close to standing against Trump. They’re waiting to see if the propaganda machine excuses these crimes. They have no soul our love of country left.

[VOX]

8. NEVER AGAIN can Republicans speak ONE WORD about morality, fiscal responsibility, law & order...

family values, the Constitution, faith, big government, running up debt, etc., etc. without being a complete laughingstock. They burned those purity cards thoroughly by finally dropping any pretense and going full-fascist.

In jettisoning their “greatest hits” playlist to throw in with Trump, Republicans now have nothing in their “portfolio” but demagoguery, hatred and chaos.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. you left out hypocrisy. GOPers love hypocrisy.

Beware of Dogma with a GOP collar.

[Garrett78]

13. We've been screaming that for how many decades now?

And yet there they are, claiming the moral high ground.

[bluestarone]

9. They will once again bring forth the words

tRUMP is the chosen one. GOD picked him and he can do No harm! That's what they will say!

[uponit7771]

11. K&R, Rubio literally said Trump didn't make a serious request !!!!

[Garrett78]

12. A tyranny of the minority system, gerrymandering, voter suppression and a lousy media...

...is plenty to sustain the Republican Party. In spite of overwhelming support for liberal positions, the Republican Party has far more power nationwide.
