The thing I don't understand about Congressional Republicans [View all]

Last edited Thu Apr 25, 2019, 10:13 PM - Edit history (2)

trump is bad JuJu, plain and simple. He's toxic to the party and their "brand". A number of them privately despise him, a number of them fear him, but there isn't one of them who wouldn't admit that their jobs would've been a lot easier if he hadn't gotten the nomination.

So it begs the question; Given the breadth of trump's scandalous affairs, his dubious character, his corruption, his recklessness, and his unwillingness to shut up, why don't they cut their losses, help impeach, and just go with Pence? Of course, WE all know that Pence is bad news, but he is indeed more "Their kind" of president. They'd still get their Supreme Court and their vile conservative legislation, and I'm sure he'd be malleable when they need him to be. Why does it not occur to them? Why does that ignorant hairdo have such control over them?
