Adam Schiff: "GOP all want something from this president before the wheels come completely off."

[Amaryllis]

I posted this video discussion between Schiff and Mahar on Saturday. Schiff says a lot of great stuff, but I thought it worth focusing on this particular statement of his, given how there are constantly posts questioning what it will take for the GOP to have enough to do something:

"Republicans all want something from this president before the wheels come completely off the wagon. They want their tax cuts, etc. and then they'll find their spine."

Nothing we don't know, but as usual, Schiff makes it very clear what the game is. Seems like a dangerous game to play...counting on getting out before the wheels come completely off. That is a hard prediction to make.

Frantically stuffing their pockets with as much loot as they can before the cops show up.

4. With all the news that broke in the past 24 hours, they may just give up on that idea.

Hard to believe that interview was only on Friday. It seems like so long ago.

A couple of days ago? It's ancient history.

5. Luckily they haven't been able to get any major bills through

But, they still have done a s-it storm of damage.

6. Did you read the post about Warren saying they are holed up working on the health care bill and

Won't let any Dems in the room?

7. Can't they see how badly the wheels are already wobbling?

8. I don't get that argument.

They would get all they want from Pence.

11. Good point...so then what is their motivation? Just trying to escape being caught since so many are

complicit?

9. I just said something similar on another thread.

Repugs are dismantling government as fast as they can before the wheels come off completely. They've stepped up the pace lately.

12. Do they have an end game, do you think?
