Is it possible that lindsey et al are just afraid of donnie's base?

For graham, hawley, and others to still hang in there makes me wonder if they're doing so just to avoid repercussions from their followers.

These people would switch direction at the drop of a molecule, so, yeah, I'd be curious.

I think so. At least 50% of the republican base is still with Trump. Claustrum Jan 2021 #2

That's why I don't see 25th or conviction in the senate to happen. You pretty much only see retiring/retired republicans speak up against Trump. They are doing what they are doing because of political calculations.

Every year his base vastly grew and every year they said notta. It is much, much bigger now than it was.

Dogs and fleas and all that crappolla. They have a long, long, long way to go to get rid of those fleas.
