I would respect any Republican

[mac56]

who will step up and say, "We wanted to win, but not like this."

* crickets *

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Hoping that John McCain and Lindsay Graham are the first on their feet to do so.

[lark]

3. McCain - No, LIndsey - Yes

McCain proving once again he's mostly just a party hack. Lindsey, surprisingly, seems to be interested in the real truth. I know I'm shocked.

7. UPDATE: Washington Post just stated that BOTH Graham and McCain are going after the

Russian interference.

[PatSeg]

10. Lindsay Graham

has surprised me numerous times this past year. He seems to be one of the few remaining republicans who actually has some integrity and a mind of his own.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Yep. For once, I am actually happy to have him as my Senator. n/t

[barbtries]

16. so am I.

(see what i commented below)

truly shocked. and whether it's an act to appear as if they care about something besides republican politics, i'll withhold judgement on that. as i recall McCain came out strong against torture then totally caved. which i do believe probably caused him a fair amount of personal grief, but at the end of the day, if you're a republican, the ends always justify the means.

2. Indeed

4. I don't respect Rethuglicans, period.

...I wouldn't urinate on them if they were on fire.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Neither would tRump if they crossed him in any way.

[Bear Creek]

5. Maybe Kasich

He has not caved. I do not agree with him totally but my respect for him has gone up.

[HughBeaumont]

6. Or say "Mmmmmaybe we AREN'T 'The Party of Lincoln'."

*crickets all around*

[jovibennett]

8. I bought stock in chap stick

because there is a lot of ass kissing going on right now in DC and NY. I would respect any of them if they would hold true to their values and what they really believe in - and not cave to the orange baboon who is going to run this country ( no disrespect to baboon's ).

[barbtries]

15. i don't think they really believe in anything

except the power and the greed and being republican. it encompasses and overpowers any egalitarian or empathetic sense they may have ever had.

[LaydeeBug]

9. Thank you for this. THANK YOU!!! nt

[SticksnStones]

11. So can we finally put the phrase "the party of Reagan" to bed?

It truly no longer applies.

No fan of Reagan but he would be appalled, he'd roll up his coattails ~

[KittyWampus]

12. It may very well be that Putin has intelligence on ALL Republicans

and knowing what hypocrites they are and how often they end up having some kink in their closet...

[barbtries]

14. yeah, it'll be a cold day in hell before you hear that.

for republicans the ends do justify the means. however it happened, all that matters is they won.

[Jacob Boehme]

17. Ahhh, but there they are

... The Republican Congressional version of Thelma & Louise; sitting side-by-side, hair blowing freely in the breeze and enjoying the lovely view over the cliff. Their party is totally unconcerned with the impending chaos wrought by their intransigence.

Because, why should they? Heck, they’ve got theirs.
