The Republicans have bet the farm on Trump

[Foamfollower]

Regardless of anything else, after the abhorrent behavior of Republicans in the hearings yesterday, there is no other conclusion to be made other than the Republicans have bet the farm on Trump.

They now own EVERYTHING he has ever done or ever will do.

"Republican" and "Trump" are now synonymous terms.

The next time I hear any Republican say anything about "Family Values", my only response will be "Trump".

The next time any Republican says anything about "National Security", my only response will be "Trump".

THEY OWN IT!

[tanyev]

1. Trumplicans.

[Foamfollower]

5. We have to MAKE them own it!

[tiptonic]

23. Luv it

U beat me too it. Well said..

[Vinca]

2. Forever and ever the GOP will be associated with the traitor presidency.

[gordianot]

3. There is no walk away.

Civil War without muskets, cannons and horses.

[Orsino]

4. Congressional Republicans don't own anything.

They are owned by forces that demand they behave exactly as they are: wasting our time with circuses to distract us while their owners steal the Treasury.

[Mr. Ected]

6. IF it becomes politically expedient for the GOP to roll on Trump

They will do so with impunity, because their media will spin it the way they wish and their constituents will lap it up like a thirsty puppy.

[Sunlei]

7. Republicans who let Manafort, change the Republican party platform to favor Russian invasion of

Crimea.

[mindfulNJ]

8. I think they were blindsided

by Comey's declaration about the ongoing investigation. I think they were prepared for him not to comment on it, not declare unequivocally that there was one, AND that the Trump campaign was part of it. They were NOT prepared for that.

9. The GOP and Trump are one and the same

Heck, they nominated him to represent them

[cornball 24]

10. They bet the farm and the only thing left will be the manure they have spread.

[vlyons]

14. They aren't even as good as manure

Manure is good and useful and enriches the soil to grow bountiful crops to feed people. No they are more like disease-loaded sewer sludge.

[randome]

11. More like they've been sitting in a lethargic stupor until Trump walked in.

Then they said, "Hey, close the door will you?" That's about how they chose Trump as their leader.

There IS no leader. No one is in charge. No one placed bets. They just looked around like stupid goats until one of them by happenstance wandered to the head of the pack.

12. Exactly!!!

Bunch of chicken-shit cowardly criminals. The republican party turning a blind eye to Traitor Trump's criminal kleptocracy, because they're too busy stuffing their own pockets with tax payer money and writing self-dealing legislation.

I shall respond with "Traitor Trump"

[Demsrule86]

17. I agree with everything you say.

I despise the GOP...but consider they did not have to have a hearing at all. They will throw Trump under the bus as soon as they can and still win their district/state.

[NewRedDawn]

13. Putin Publicans.

15. Very astute observation

all those sappy Christian Fundy billboards ---- TRUMP!!


It's a one word satire. Total meltdown of everything Republicans stand for.

[Demsrule86]

16. No they have not.

There was little defense of Trump...none on Wiretapping. And the fact that the hearing happened at all and the ranking Democrat was allowed to speak at the beginning is very meaningful.

[bronxiteforever]

18. They own entire federal government. GOP power is at strongest since 1920s!

And we know what happened at the end of the 1920s.

[nolabels]

26. Parallels and large differences

History, waves of light, social patterns, clouds in the sky all ebb and flow, never to be the same but always similar just as when a mother gives birth. The attachment we have found for any of them is the only thing we must decern. What will be different in them, and are we just watching waves crashing on the beach or is there something to learn?

[bronxiteforever]

34. GOP economics on steroids- better lube up!

[BSdetect]

19. If he is arrested then they may well try to insulate themselves but ...

they are very implicated too.

Guiliani was not informed alone and he and others talked to Moscow Mitch

That's why they blocked the Senate appointment

They knew what was on the cards.

They knew it all.

[IronLionZion]

20. And that's fine with many idiots who voted for him

because they thought he was an insurgent candidate who would smash the Republican establishment and radically alter the status quo. They got what they wanted. And they are also going to get it in ways they don't want.

As shitty as his poll numbers are, Americans still favor him more than the Republican Congress.

[Orrex]

28. And THAT is the bottom line

If Trump's chumps haven't seen the light by now, then they never will, and we should stop wasting effort in trying to open their eyes.

As Trump himself noted (in one of the few honest statements he's made in the past seven decades), he could shoot someone in the street and they'd still vote for him.

He is their irreproachable father figure, their beloved leader, and if he does something that conflicts with fact or laws or morals, then obviously your facts, laws and morals are false.

[world wide wally]

22. Republicans are every it as guilty as Trump. He went into the bank and they are driving the

getaway car. They will impeach him when the evidence is insurmountable and then sell the idea of what fair minded patriots they are in time for the 2018 elections.
Trump is everyone's useful idiot.

[L. Coyote]

24. They were all put into office by the same deep pocketed, far-right, fund-$$-amentalist establishment

Puppets one and all. But, watch them turn on Trump like a herd of wild beasts when the inevitable happens, when they approach the cliff and have to save their own asses.

[pangaia]

25. They do NOT own it yet, I believe.

"We" have to be sure they DO OWN IT !!

Dems should tie everything he says or does to republicans - every hour of every day everywhere...

[RainAndMoreRain]

27. Actually Satan Is The Head Of Their Party

Just watch what they do.

You can't disagree.

[LongTomH]

29. Banzai!! Die for the Emperor!!!

[JHB]

32. With an "a". "Banzai" is the exhortation. "Bonsai" with an "o" and "s"...

...are the little trees.

"Bonzai" is, I dunno , yelling at trees?

[LongTomH]

33. Oooops! Corrected!

[Loubee]

30. Fox "News" also

going down with the SS Trump. We'll see how long their brainwashed viewers stay mesmerized before they notice something's horribly wrong.
