Every time Trump does something stupid, pundits say that the Republican Party is "showing cracks".
No. It's not. Lindsay Graham got mad for one day because of Syria and will be kissing Trump's ass again in no time.
Corker and Flake have been sort of uneasy but that's not new and they're the only ones.
Susan Collins doesn't seem to give a shit about anything and she isn't even mad.
The Republican Party is a radical right wing cult of Donald Trump.

Susan Collins is the Senate's resident concern troll.

(11,885 posts)The media repeats his propaganda over and over again daily, and the republicans phony outrage for him. I turn the channel and am watching less and less of it.

Romney will immediately join ranks of the "concerned" and fill void left by departed McCain, Corker and Flake to get undeserved credit by media pundits for standing up to Trump while voting with him 99% of the time.

Hang that fing millstone around Romneys neck. Hes a plutocrat and a liar just like he rest of the GOP.

(7,142 posts)I was about to post your narrative. We make a mistake if we separate Republicans from Trump, they are not a cult, not an offshoot of the Republican party, the Republican party is the Trump party. We should call it the Trump party when referring to Republicans, because it's the truth.

(1,702 posts)MOBster tRUMP. Don't report this "Republicans are privately saying" bullshit, either they say it out loud or media shouldn't report it. It puts too much emphasis on tRUMP and we need to win the Senate. Silence is complicity IMO.

(12,410 posts)But a lot of republicans in the media have completely and loudly done a reversal, and many in the general populace as well, some of them my family members who were rabid republicans and are now forwarding me anti trump cartoons, jokes, articles, and are truly angry at their party.
The reptilian congress baffled me because they keep propping him up, but I dont think generally there is any love lost there for trump himself.
