Gutless Republicans [View all]

Why on earth do we keep hearing that those poor little Republicans going along with Trump do so because they are scared? All forms of media stars continue to regurgitate this crap as a plausible explanation for Republican’s abject failure. We’re told many Republicans really don’t like this policy or that bill but they simply MUST go along with Trump because otherwise he might do something awful to them.

What a dreadful thing for these national leaders to contemplate. Imagine being in their expensive shoes. They’re so frightened of Trump that they feel compelled to give approval for “Alligator Alcatraz” or sending “illegals” to Sudan or taking SNAP benefits away from children or discontinuing benefits veterans have earned. Their inner terror forces them to ignore the Constitution and overlook their own rules. They’ll allow for the erasure of black history, stay silent as our national character is redefined and even watch from the sidelines as the Rose Garden is covered with concrete.

This BS explanation for Republicans’ failure at oversight is as empty as Trump’s soul. Democrats should kick the volume up a notch and call Dark Red Cowardice by it’s real name
