The irony is that all of them: Trump, Flynn, Manafort would have been quite happier

[question everything]

without that "White House Thing." Keep making millions with the Russians and no one would care.

But then, of course, no one, including these clowns, thought that Trump would actually win. They thought it was going to be a fun thing to try.

That we are a nations of idiots, gullible with assholes Republicans who just want someone at the White House, anyone - just turned everything upside down.

The Republicans can still get "their agenda" with Pence, so what are they waiting for?

1. Oh no. They *knew* they would win. They were colluding with Russia from jump. nt

[unblock]

3. they didn't know they would win. they just knew they had to cheat to have even a chance.

9. They knew they would win when they refused to confirm Garland. The fix was *in*. Moscow Mitch had

his Russian treasure trove, and the machines, just enough of them, were hackable.

They will continue to do it too.

2. probably because it hurts their party

So many of them endorsed him or didn't speak out against him so they are tainted. Pence is tainted, and Ryan, and most of them. They would be admitting that they made a BIG mistake getting behind Donnie.

The taint and stink will last through the midterms and through to the next Presidential election which they would undoubtedly lose to a Dem.

5. Pence was already damaged goods, wasn't he? I thought

it was no better than a toss-up whether he would get another term in his nearly blood-red state.

Ryan is really damaged. He should have kept his head down and never agreed to be Speaker.

[world wide wally]

4. It definitely helped the Russians that Trump won.

They are the ONLY winners in all this

[ecstatic]

6. Yep. I think trump & bannon were planning a cable news network

Whatever happened to Trump's "feud" with fox news? Remember that?

7. They just must be so heavy in debt to the Russians

It was the only way to make it go away, and live. It's the only thing I can think of why they did this. I thought trumps kids might be smarter and tell dad no. This could wipe out the full families funds, which isn't as much as he wants us to believe.

Next , let's grab the Russian oligarchs properties. That's gonna hurt.

8. I was thinking the same thing. 45 liked his old life, and he wouldn't

have been so exposed. Now he's compounded whatever his Russian financial dealings are with Obstruction of Justice and leaking classified information to the Russians.

He (and we) would've all been better off if he'd stayed home.
