I believe they are going to throw Trump overboard because...

[kentuck]

...he is wounded too much to help them in the future. They are no longer fearful of the base deserting them after Trump betrayed the nation the way he did.

In my opinion, they have made their decision already.

He will be impeached and convicted.

[leftieNanner]

1. AND

They will pass the other little goodie that says he can never hold any federal office again! That's the important part. Josh and Ted might even vote for that one!

[PirateRo]

2. They will toss him because their 0ot to overthrow the government was found out and foiled

And now they want to go back into hiding as sheep in the herd.

[bullimiami]

3. Wounded yet still trying to bite them.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. Don't forget about the corporations pulling the money.

IMO, this is the largest reason.

[soothsayer]

17. Yep

[Raven123]

5. Help them? He tried to kill them.

[Laelth]

6. I agree.

Blatantly inciting insurrection was a bridge too far for most Republicans.

7. The base deserting them

isn't such a big deal/ It is their donors and bankers that got their attention.

[kentuck]

9. Nothing like losing your money to focus your mind.

Your money or your life ?

Uh, let me think about it...

[Doodley]

8. You overrate Republican lawmakers.

[uponit7771]

10. Nope, there are 30 out out 240 kGOP speaking up private or public against Putin's Whore that's not

... enough.

Trump will stay and Moscow Mitch (AKA 2020) doesn't have the votes to get Putin's Whore out of office.

[kentuck]

12. I heard that they had 10 Senators before Mitch made his statement?

He can pull a half-dozen more with him, I would think?

[uponit7771]

16. There have not even been 10 R senators come out against Putin's Whore publicly, if there was just

... that Moscow Mitch would be in a better position.

The statement from Moscow Mitch is sourced, we're smelling our own body odors ... there's no big push by the Rs to get Red Don out before the 20th.

They're going down with this ship

[kentuck]

18. You may be right?

They would be putting all their chips on the table.

That's a dangerous bet.

[uponit7771]

20. +1, Moscow Mitch is 2020 and Trump is Satan, wtf did Moscow Mitch think would happen 2020 is over

... and now Satan doesn't need her.

[Quixote1818]

11. I think they may be a bit worried that his crazy's are getting way out of control

and what it might lead to. If it got this bad in 4 years. Lets not let this be the beginning.

[hadEnuf]

19. The useful idiots have gotten very ugly. How's that deal working out for you now, GOP?

[spanone]

13. I smell blood....

[dchill]

14. New movie: "Friendless in America."

Starting Donald Trump and the usual cast of suspects.

[hadEnuf]

15. Good observation.

The only GOP base being seen right now is the wild-eyed extremists trashing the US Capitol looking to harm people and attempt a coup on Trump's orders. If they ever want to salvage a base that is not filled with treasonous scum they will jettison Trump and his SS boys & girls real quick.

It may take a long time for the GOP to shed the stench of Trump, as it should.

[wiggs]

21. It's clear to them he's the loser we always knew he was. He lost the election, lost all the

court cases, lost his mind, lost his VP and cabinet, lost his illusion of multi billionaire status, lost Liz Cheney and Dick, lost the capitol war, lost the bid for Ukraine complicity....just lost. He has downward momentum and it's not coming back.
