"Devastating": Privately, Republicans are saying this testimony from diplomats Bill Taylor and George Kent was painful for Trump's case, linking him more directly to a quid pro quo. In public, they are saying it's a bore. @eliseviebeck

6. I don't believe there a more than

a handful of Republicans in the House or Senate who believe a word they say in public or a word that Trump says. I think they pretty much all despise him. They are simply terrified of Trump’s base, terrified of getting primaried and scared shitess of being on the wrong end of Trump’s tweets.

8. Agree 100%

12. But wait, there's more, as the saying goes...weeks of public testimony coming up!

If the Rethugs had ever thought of acting with decency, they wouldn't have to worry about future primaries.

Profiles in Cowardice

He's gonna try the scream and spit method he used to save Brett Kavanaugh.
