Let me make this pellucidly clear

[malaise]

No one has to swear fealty to the Slobfather.
They are so called citizens not feudal tenants. Many of them swore to defend the Constitution.
That is all

[LoisB]

1. Unfortunately, they (Repubs) all seem to think they do.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. they want to...it makes them feel secure, since they are largely cowards and haters.

[Mr. Ected]

3. Or maybe they're all being blackmailed/threatened by Vlad

And Trump is his merry little messenger.

Many of them are probably not only compromised but inherently evil, though.

[malaise]

5. More likely being blackmailed by Slobby himself

THings that ake me go Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

[Mr. Ected]

6. I don't know, Malaise, he's not that well-connected to get the goods on so many of them

But the RNC was hacked at the same time as the DNC before the 2016 elections. Lots of good kompromat collected no doubt.

[malaise]

8. I thought he was well connected to Pecker

Remember there was talk about who leaked the Morning JoeScum affair and the Amazon one as well

[Mr. Ected]

11. You're right, I forgot that he had Pecker in his back pocket

Then again, I don't know if the House GOP quakes in its boots that if they misbehave, they'll be outted as having had an illegitimate child with an alien.

[malaise]

16. LOL

I live for the day when we hear why CancunCruz suddenly changed his tune.

Another possibility is that he got them some Russian money

[Ferrets are Cool]

13. I am sure he has received ALL the dirt that Cheney collected during his reign.

Yes, he has blackmail material.

[Escurumbele]

14. My theory on this is that through Putin he has compromised them, let us not forget that as stupid as

trump is, he is good at being a mafioso, these people are craping in their pants because they have all been compromised.

Lindsey Graham is a good example where after only 18 holes of golf he did a 180, same with McCarthy, one trip to Mar-A-Lago and he was a changed puppet.

[madinmaryland]

4. Use of the word "pellucidly" definitely merits a REC from me! Thanks!

[malaise]

10. Ha

[FakeNoose]

7. They were free of him when he lost the ability to "mean tweet" anyone

They just don't realize it yet.

[Ford_Prefect]

12. BBBBBuuuuuuuttttt they told us we had to do it. We were only following orders...

[bucolic_frolic]

15. Are they more bound together by

fealty, money, crimes, or fear?

[paleotn]

17. The ghost of Eric Cantor lives!

Even if they're squeaky clean and not subject to blackmail, there's always....be nutty or get primaried by a nutter. I doubt many Rethugs fall into that category, but still.

[Skittles]

18. MOMENT OF TRUTH

ARE YOU LOYAL TO AMERICA OR ARE YOU LOYAL TO DONALD FUCKING TRUMP

[malaise]

19. That simple

[Skittles]

20. alas

I think we already know the answer.
