Wow-GOP Rep Rooney: Pelosi "has a point" when she said that with Trump, all roads leads to Russia

Wow. GOP @RepRooney says he thinks Pelosi "has a point" when she said that with Trump, all roads lead to Russia.

"I was skeptical of it like most Republicans were, but I gotta say this business about the Ukraine server ... tells me, what, are we trying to exculpate Russia?"

I posted a thread here somewhere this morning about it but he was hitting Trump on everything from quid pro quo to failure in Turkey to Pelosi being right, it was great to see.

Romney is running for president, even when he isn't. He's hoping to swoop in and save the party in the event that Trump can't run for whatever reason in 2020.

He isn't representative of the GOP as a whole or really anyone other than himself. Ditto Sasse.

It seems like a Republican like him could win in a purple district if he or she had the demonstrable moral courage to take a risk and stand up against Trump.

Anyone and everyone who does not see Trump as their gawd and king is subject to his ugly attacks. If there are enough Trumpsters in the district, no Repuke is safe iMO.

Lindsay turncoat Graham, I suspect, will fail miserably in his attempt to get unanimous R consent for his innocent-verdict-before-the-trial signing paper.
