Bwahaha: Republican Senators Lose Hope That Trump Will Change [View all]

Not The Onion.

Astute Statesmen that they AREN'T. Morally bankrupt idiots that they ARE.




Donald Trump's response to the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history has Republican senators losing hope that their presumptive nominee will tame his blustery rhetoric and moderate his controversial policy positions ahead of the fall election.

"You'd think that he would have pivoted by now," lamented Arizona Senator Jeff Flake.

"A lot of us, we still hope—hope springs eternal—that between now and November he'll change some of his positions. Not just the tone and the tenor, but some of his positions need to change," Flake said. "But I'm not hopeful right now."


South Dakota Senator John Thune, the No. 3 Republican, said Trump's recent statements have been "concerning" and reflect his style throughout the campaign.

"Everything he's said in the last couple of weeks has been concerning," Thune said. "I think the message has been conveyed from our members. And we're, I guess, hoping that he'll take it to heart."

Then he rolled his eyes, admitting that strategy doesn't seem to be working "at the moment."
