Great Brian Williams quote on 'The 11th Hour'

[Stonepounder]

The Republican Party sold its soul to Donald Trump.
And the check bounced.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. You beat me to it.

Was it Williams who said that? I thought it was John Meacham? Anyhow it was a perfect description of what's happened to the GOP. Maybe they'll finally start figuring out that they got punked like everybody else.

[FreepFryer]

2. Yes, it was presidential historian Jon Meacham. Excellent quote indeed. (n/t)

[Boomerproud]

3. Honey Bri Bri said THAT?

[GP6971]

4. Kiting checks is so

past history. All the repukes accounts are bankrupt.

[Stonepounder]

5. Oh, well. Brian said it on the 11th hour about 5 min ago, so I thought he (or his writers)

came up with it. Its still a great quote!

[Saboburns]

6. It is a Great Line, I saw it too

Our side ought to repeat it ten times a day.

[Lyricalinklines]

7. Wonderful life lesson they've displayed.....

...greed never pays well for very long.

[democratisphere]

8. The redumbliCON party has no soul and never will.

[oasis]

9. "Check bounced"

[SergeStorms]

10. To be fair......

I think Trump was the LAST person Senate Republicans wanted to win the GOP primaries, but in typical Republican fashion they all started walking in lockstep behind Trump once he arrived. Through all of Trump's lies (and there are literally too many to count), through all the the embarrassment Trump caused, through all of the 'tweets', through the Russian scandal WITH his family members in tow, through every law Trump and his crime family have broken........the Republican Senators stayed in lockstep behind Trump, never wavering, never speaking out, always supporting the Failure in Chief.

Until three of them didn't. Three Republican Senators decided to help the PEOPLE of the United States, and not "protect the President". Trump has totally forgotten (if he ever DID know) who he works for. Three Republican Senators, and 48 Democrats haven't forgotten. They work for the PEOPLE of the United States of America.

Thank you Democrats, and thank the three quality Republican Senators from across the aisle.

11. But . . . I'm up early this morning and turned on CNN just in time to see a bunch of

dimwitted Ohio voters being interviewed. With the exception of one woman (who apparently doesn't want her lady parts grabbed), they still love the Donald. Head of the family gave him credit for his job because a jet is now being manufactured there. Never mind the plan was in the works during the Obama administration. It's all because of Don.

[DeminPennswoods]

12. They might still like Trump, but

someone on MSNBC pointed out that during the ACA repeal fight, unlike the opponents of repeal, these voters weren't out there pressuring their senators/reps demanding repeal.

[Skittles]

13. good point

absolutely, that is something we did not see
