What are Republicans waiting for?

[SHRED]

He's destroying their party and he's dangerously close to war.
What's it gonna take?

[ProudLib72]

1. Think about what it would mean to impeach him

Yes, we admit that the person you morons picked to lead our party is a raving lunatic. Sorry folks, but you asswipes have the combined IQ of a lump of green putty, so we are stepping in to correct your massive (and I do mean massive) mistake. Please vote for us again next year. Remember to vote early and often! Go GOP!

It's party over country any day with these schmucks. It's denial over facing reality any day, too.

10. Great post. Consider starting a thread with this. nt

[Skittles]

2. they are afraid of losing the STUPID FUCKING IDIOT vote

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Yes,it is all about getting reelected.

These Republican Congress People could care less about their idiot voters. Most are from Gerrymandered Districts.

[Skittles]

6. do you notice Trump ONLY talks to them

that's why he always sounds like a fucking moron to anyone with critical thinking skills

[Wellstone ruled]

13. That was his game plan from the get go.

Never followed Trump over the decades because I recognized him as a spoiled brat and after decades of Business Dealings with a few like characters,just figured he would fall flat on his face. And that is about to happen.

Trump has forged a alliance with the Koch Brothers in order to do his best to trash our Country. And yes,Trump only refers too or talks to the Freedom Caucus,which are aliened with Pence and the Freaked out Religo-Militia-whacko's. End of the day,you have a Whacko President talking to his Whack Job followers.

Someone who grew up in the forties,there were a few of these so called Charismatic Persons doing the same thing,they preyed on the ignorant impoverished for their day to day existence. BTW,they were tent Preachers traveling what was called the circuit.

14. excellent response

Wellstone ruled, may I request you put a space after every comma, for the benefit of us older folk with less than stellar peepers.....makes it much easier to read

[Wellstone ruled]

16. Okay.

[Skittles]

18. WOOO!

I really enjoy your posts - you come up with some EXCELLENT commentary

[Wellstone ruled]

20. To many decades on this Blue Rock.

Been a Civics junky since fifth grade and that was when text books were craved on sand stone tablets.

[Stonepounder]

29. The wife and I were bemoaning today's education at dinner the other night.

Wife (who has her ABD* degree in history) and I were talking about how they don't even teach Civics in school any more. Our 12 yo granddaughter (who, by the way, is in the Jr. National Honor Society) piped up and said: "What's Civics".

And people wonder why I often wander around sobbing.

*ABD = All But Dissertation.

To give you an idea of how far we have sunk, she made a conscious decision NOT to finish her PhD because she felt that actually getting it would make her pretty much unemployable.

[Wellstone ruled]

31. Understand,

heard similiar stories. Today's hires have to be 23 years old,Master's Degree,10 years experience and willing to work for minimum wage. What a F--n joke.

[tblue37]

23. The Mercers are his primary moneybags . nt

[kerry-is-my-prez]

30. It will take having his approval ratings go down further and further amongst his base.

[uponit7771]

21. That's about 85% of the party now

[LonePirate]

3. The party is dominated by the deplorables who love 45. The party does not love Congress.

If the Republican Congress goes after 45, the party will turn on them. The ones that don't lose primaries will be routed in the general election. So, the Republicans in Congress can either choose to stand with the country or stand with their party. At present, they have chosen their party over the country.

[hibbing]

5. They need to get their tax cuts for the ruling class in n/t

[Orsino]

7. Impeachment and 25th Amendment approaches will severely weaken the party...

...which is all about power these days. Most of the GOP "leaders" not only don't want to begin dismantling their machine, their paymasters won't allow it.

[VOX]

8. Classic "Riding the Tiger" bind: worse when you're on it, or worse if you dismount?

And for all its bluster and all the bodies it gerrymanders into congress, the GOP isn't doing so well at seeing eye-to-eye with most of the U.S. population.

The opportunities are getting richer for Democrats. The problem: surviving until then. Next problem: stop Democratic infighting!

[kentuck]

9. Luke the Drifter

[lindysalsagal]

11. Nope. Most of the gop leadership took the dirty russian oligarch money: So they go down if he does.

Including Ryan and McConnell.

Mueller has to do it and that takes time.

[raccoon]

12. "Not that I loved the US less, but that I loved the Republican party more."

To paraphrase the Bard.

[Kathy M]

15. not going to happen ............

I think you and others may want to start accepting Trump is President Trump .... just my opinion of course .

[Cosmocat]

17. Yep

Until such time as the country punishes, SEVERELY, the GOP in the ballot box.

But, as long as Ryan and McConnell are in charge, nothing is happening to 45.

[Kathy M]

24. does not have anything to do with Ryan or McConnell..... just not going to happen

If you think about it Ryan and McConnell probably would rather work with Pence ........ but not going to happen

[kairos12]

19. They would not impeach him even if the country is in flames.

[Initech]

22. I don't even think a nuke dropping would get them to do it.

[Grammy23]

25. Oh, I don't know. A few more days like we had this week ---

and they might start giving thought to ousting him any way they can. Every day of this sh*t show gets nuttier as we go. Who would have thought by the end of this week, Dear Leader would be threatening military action in Venezuela? 👀

Is it just me or is the job starting to go to his already inflated ego? He seemed especially pleased with himself standing there with Tillerson, Haley and McMaster, bloviating about how the Little Pipsqueak in North Korea better not even hint at doing or saying anything or really bad things will fall out of the sky and part his hair down the middle. 😱

[Wounded Bear]

26. They're still holding out for their tax cuts...

[spanone]

27. republicans see a boost in ratings and megabucks for their donors....

i haven't heard many voices opposing him

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Tax cuts
