Republican Senators turning down national TV interviews tells you how embarrassed they really are about all of this, but too cowardly to say it.

.@chucktodd: "We invited every single Republican senator to appear here on @MeetThePress this morning. They all declined.

I'd change embarrassed to complicit.

It won't happen but I completely agree.

(5,591 posts)and they will, in aces. Whats to stop their immaturity now? No accountability has become their agenda.
The whole world is watching them revert to troglodytes.
Breathe in breathe out...(with a mask on!) we can make it.
We must.
Kashkakat v.2.0
(1,752 posts)another obstructive maneuver and sign that they have all thrown in with the Cult and the cult leader's refusal to comply with the norms and .... quite possibly.... with the constitution and the law itself. Remains to be seen. IMHO, we are not out of the woods yet.
Dont we know by now they NEVER do anything out of their own individual motivations? Since that is a given, then you have to ask yourself, what are they up to, whats the strategy, what are they trying to accomplish? You will notice they are all too happy to talk to the propagandists, so obviously they are not THAT embarassed.

(15,671 posts)They're deploying the ostrich strategy knowing a week from now no-one that matters, i.e., average mis- or uninformed voters, will remember.
Frankly, they also see potential for having their cake and eating it too with the possibility that if they keep quiet about the election, tRump's alternative universe may actually prevail -- in which case they get everything they want and remain on good terms with the emperor to boot.
Don't underestimate these people or this situation. We were all totally and legitimately aghast about treasonous Russia collusion. Many of us were confident that it would be his and their undoing, especially early on. We are early on in the election denial.
So, yeah ... complicit whether their strategy succeeds or not.

(10,278 posts)Lou Dobbs was on the other night bitching about how no elected Republican will go on tv and say the election was rigged.
Lou is just pissed that he and his wrecking crew on fox arent the craziest fuckers in the Republican Party anymore.

(13,113 posts)They are EVIL and unpatriotic.
There is no point in interviewing them.
They are known liars and proud of it.
They are lower than pond scum.
They are my enemies.
They are enemies of my country.
The are radical fascists !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
