I wish the media stopped saying that GOP Congressmen are unhappy with Trump

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.

15. She knits her brows so often that her forehead has become a wool scarf

And she pulls that scarf over her eyes and blindly follows Trump over the precipice.

Susan Collins is the Senate's resident concern troll.

3. I agree

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.

(or don't plan to run for re-election the next go around) so it really doesn't matter how they "feel".

7. Media props up Repub party by fawning over any halfway reasonable sounding Repubs

without holding them accountable for the monster they knowingly put in power and have enabled by failing to stand up against his abusive actions.

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.

14. Exactly.

You mean Mitt “47% Takers” Romney?
Hang that fing millstone around Romney’s neck. He’s a plutocrat and a liar just like he rest of the GOP.

10. I waited for you to post, lol.

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.

9. About every 2nd day now, is a title on D.U.

about how G.O.P. is caving, Jr., his kids are toast, or the guys in the white suits just left the H.H.S. building with tranqs and a straight jacket to take Orange Shitbird away.

Its getting tiring.

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.

16. I agree for the most part

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 don’t think generally there is any love lost there for trump himself.

The radical Republican cult will stick together as long as Trump continues to attack the federal government and doesn't interfere with the cultists lining their pockets.
