Maybe for a brief moment after Jan 6th there was a glimmer of hope. When we saw Mitch, and Graham, and McCarthy, all seem to criticize their Dear Leader and start to distance themselves from him.

But almost the next day, Graham goes golfing with the orange turd, McCarthy travels to Mara lago to visit him. And Mitch goes back from a firey speech on the floor of the Senate to admitting he'd vote for Trump again if given the chance.

Now they are trying to rewrite and smooth out history. Taking that route.

Instead they could have worked with Democrats and health experts at least to battle this virus. Dumped Trump to do it if they had to, and once the pandemic was all but over, they would have a lot of built up credibility and respect from moderate voters.

THEN they could go back to their good old talking points about tax n spend Democrats etc etc.....Actually propose their own health care plan. Or immigration plan. That route would have made them more viable sooner with moderates.

But they are going down the route that is way more risky.....It could cost them their party if it doesn't work out, but I suppose the payoff would be greater if they did succeed. Not just a guaranteed 4 years in the White House,......but a full Fascist State with them in charge! Maybe they see Trump as their best shot at it to come along in awhile and they don't want to waste the opportunity.

So relieved and grateful Biden is president now!!!! 50 Shades Of Blue Apr 2021 #1
