Now they're frantically scrambling to figure out how to continue to defend the defenseless without destroying themselves.

Graham cancelling a news conference is like one of the Kardasians cancelling a photo shoot! Graham knew what tRump was even before he was elected. He even said "If Trump is elected, it will be the death of the republican party, and we will DESERVE it" Well, well, well. So here we are.

... because they planned acquit on false pretenses and then shout "nothing to see here!" as loud as they could, they are delusional.

If you want to be the party of barely hidden corruption, GOP, you'd better be ready to own that.

There will be a great deal of "concern" expressed, as well as one or two furrowed brows, but at the end of whatever this is, Senate Republicans will conclude that they have no choice but to bow to the will of the people as expressed in 2016 by negative 2.8 million votes, and retain Donald Trump as the undisputed, undefeated light heavyweight champion of the country.

I think the truth when its exposed will show all their election crimes, and bribes from foreign corrupt criminals , some leaders of other countries, and how they are selling this country out to them now for help corrupting our elections , and to sell out our foreign policy, and national security issues to them. What damming tapes and video's do they have on some of them? It will come out .

They're safe.

If my research is correct the only one up for re-election is Graham, and as someone who grew up in South Carolina, if you think they're electing a black man to the Senate you're dreaming. Sad to say.

that means they will take questions?

I know what the 1st question would have been, unless the reporter was from Fox.

I see Mike Lee fell asleep, they got to him.

and the whirlwind is coming next Nov, when the Rethugs lose the WH, Senate, and House, and a whole bunch of state house and governorships. People are sick of their evil folly and way beyond disgusted with all things Trump.

Moscow Mitch has instructed his fellow Russiapublicans to take a breath and just be quiet. The Dregs Defense has put on a long, boring show to get everyone to forget BOLTON and remember their daddy Putin.

Call and demand to hear Bolton as a witness.
