This is one of those "gift" exit ramps for Republicans

[Laura PourMeADrink]

They didn't abandon trump through impeachment, insurrection, botched covid management and more.

But today's verdict is a gift. An unexpected exit ramp from trump.

Keeping count. I know, no surprise, but Mo Brooks, Asa Hutchinson, and Romney have spoken against him!

[RockRaven]

1. Many of them spoke against him at various times, with prior offramps, only to come crawling back.

So it doesn't mean anything if any of them speak against him now, by itself.

It only means something if they do so AND stick with it AND aren't ousted by MAGAt voters in their next primary.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. Good point.

[BigmanPigman]

14. I think they ALL did back in 2016.

Spineless, corrupt hypocrites. All of them!!! Their lip/kiss marks are all over his fat, flat, old ass to this day. They do not have an ounce of self respect among them.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. Yep

As Trump said, shoot someone on fifth avenue and all.

[Trenzalore]

2. ha ha ha ha

They won't take the exit ramp if he is on tv sexually assaulting a farm animal.

The base loves him unconditionally

[FakeNoose]

3. Don't forget Liz Cheney

... although she has kept quiet these last few months. I believe she'll be back sooner or later.

[LakeArenal]

6. She released an ad a day ago or so. I think it's anti-trump.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. She has an anti-trump ad she rolled out today!!!!

[2naSalit]

4. The usual suspects.

I don't expect any of them to take the off ramp. Not like they couldn't have all those times before. They really don't care.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. Ya or constituents don't care. Between a rock and hard place

Lose job or speak up for truth. Moral dilemma

[617Blue]

9. I agree and I think this civil case hurts him more than even the serious criminal cases

The J6 and documents cases will be dismissed by GOP as Dems weaponizing the Justice Dept yadda yadda etc...but this case hurts him with voters on a visceral level. Lotta yuck factor in this case.

10. Talked to my magat family member. Just

a bunch of brainwashed NY liberals on jury

[617Blue]

11. Yeah but I think "normal" people might have a

different reaction.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. 100% hope so. Advantageous for us to chip away

Although hard to believe any gettable people still out there. Although latest polls show differently.

Got to figure out how to chip away!!! Can't think of anything worse than him getting in again. Nothing.

[niyad]

18. "normal people" are not mango mussollini sycophants.

[Hortensis]

13. I always hope.

[louis-t]

16. I still say each guilty verdict will lose him

hundreds of thousands of worshipers. This is the least of his worries right now. The criminal stuff is coming.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Hmmm. Would love to see a graph. Saw how he lost

support after 1-6 and then gradually got them all back

[Upthevibe]

17. Kick. n/t
