(10,123 posts)40. Trump couldn't be in the Oval office unless the GOP supported him
He couldn't remain there without the votes of the GOP Senators against impeachment (for example).
The GOP party had the power to go to Trump and say "do this to stop the virus or we'll impeach you ourselves".
The GOP share plenty of the blame for where we find ourselves.
I intend to remind them of it every chance I get.
They hammered Hillary with Benghazi & emails.
I say we should hammer every GOP incumbent with Trump, the economy/jobs loss, the poor response to the virus, the racism, the lack of response to the climate change issues, EPA issues, LGBTQ issues, the deficit hypocrisy, giving tax cuts to the 1%, stimulus to the wealthy, etc, etc.

I agree. I had mine on. I even brought some extras and offered them to people not wearing them.
