In reply to the discussion: GOP plans to get rid of Trump [View all]yardwork
(61,599 posts)59. Your points seem to reinforce my point.
Trump was a useful tool to the Russians because they wanted him to get Congress to lift the sanctions. There's trillions of dollars at stake and the sanctions are blocking Putin and his business partners from making the deals.
Trump was forced on the GOP. He's not a politician, he's a lousy deal maker, and now he's coming unglued. Putin will drop him and install somebody more reliable.
The Republican Party and its leaders are deeply compromised with Russian money and they will do what they're told.

I am fine with the Repubs betraying 45 and invoking the wrath of the deplorables.

Trump had nothing to do with the few GOP holdouts who wanted slightly bigger slices of the pie.

I am also sure Putin has other assets in the US. He did not put all of his eggs in the Trump basket
