The most important issue confronting the Republicans today?

Do they slow down and look at the facts, or do they continue full-speed ahead, on the Old Partisan Highway?

Do they have a duty and a responsibility to take the time to look at all the evidence fairly and impartially?

Is it important to the spirit of the Constitution, also?

The least that people should expect from these Congressmen and Senators is to be serious about their vote.

They are so far down the russian repug hole that having helping Russia and hurting Ukraine, perceived to be the enemy because Russia is trying to take them over, is all they care about. They have turned their backs on the country for personal privilege, power & $$. I watched the hearings, there was not 1 sane repug who showed even a semblance of caring, because they don't care about anything except themselves. If a rich white repug does it, it's ok, if a Dem does it - throw them in jail. They can't think beyond that because that is the line that serves them personally the best.

I'm not saying on a personal level there aren't some thinking realizing Republicans, but they are not in power and don't think there's many of them.

Hoping that Russia/SA/Chinese vote hacking doesn't steal the office for him again. Americans didn't elect him last time and will rise up against him this time. Just hope it's sufficient.
