Why Do The Repugs Continually Circle The Wagons Around Trump And....

[global1]

why aren't they reacting to this OpEd that paints Trump as unfit to serve as a president?

I've heard the theories:

1. They are using him now and when they get what they want out of him they will abandon him.

2. They are all in with the Russian collusion. They will be implicated if Trump goes down.

3. Putin gave Trump Kompromat on all of them and that is being held over their heads.

4. Their lives have been threatened.

5. Their families lives have been threatened.

6. Party first - Country second.

I've heard all these theories but I have to believe that there are some Repugs that will stand up and take on Trump. Some that have integrity. Some that are really patriots and take their jobs seriously. Some that value this Country and this Government.

It seems to me that there is power in numbers. If they all banded together and forced him to resign; or began impeachment proceedings; or even corroborated the stories we hear about Trump and his unfitness for serving as president - that Trump, Putin, or no body could possibly do something to take them all out at the same time.

I did, however, say that in the process of running in the Repug primaries and then becoming the Party's nominee - that Trump learned all the deep, deep secrets of the Party. Maybe Trump is holding that over them. Maybe he is saying - if you try and take me out - I will take down the whole Party and divulge your cheating and political tactics and take you down with me.

I don't know what it is - but the evidence is right out there in front of their faces. It is right out their for all the American People to see. It is right out there for all the world to see. Yet nothing is being done to remedy the situation.

Instead of the MSM making an issue of how unsuited Trump is to serve as president - they are out there speculating on who wrote this OpEd and making that person the bad guy. Saying that he/she is a coward for not signing this OpEd. They are chasing that story instead of the most serious issue that is facing this Nation - that we have a person that is considered the world leader that is a criminal and unsuited to serve.

I just don't get it.

1. Republicans Get in Line--It's Their Nature, Among Other Reasons

[Garrett78]

2. They don't want to piss off the base and get primaried.

4. This

Trump has over 90% support of his party. None of them are going to buck that.

3. Dotard's cultists are their base

They are afraid of losing their phony baloney jobs. Plus, tax cuts for rich people, screwing over the poor and middle class and women is what they live for.

[enough]

5. Because they are getting exactly what they have always wanted:

Right-wing judges and justices, huge tax cuts for corporations, regulations gutted.

It’s simple.

6. I think they have to reach some critical mass of opposition

before they finally bail.

But getting to that critical mass is going to be next to impossible.

7. Appointing conservative judges and cutting regulations are their goals.

Trump continues to do both.

8. Well,try this,

remember it was not only the Dems that got hacked by Putin/Trump actors,yes the Rethugs got the same treatment. If you followed yesterday's Baby Babble from Idot Donnie,well,you would have read the spew about turning on his Rethug friends with personal damaging spew.

Blackmail my friends,this is how the Mob and Putin operate.

[obliviously]

9. We are sitting here pissing in our diapers talking about Russia

Meanwhile, they are hopelessly stacking the fucking supreme court!
