(56,848 posts)because Democrats are in the minority, they can only do so much. We need to find Republicans that will put country over party and power. There was talk about removing Trump after the "grab 'em by the pussy" came out, but it never materialized. Nobody had the guts to step up and do it.
Back in the 70s with Nixon, Democrats had big majorities in both houses, but still need principled Republicans as well. However, back then, there were liberal and moderate Republicans (Republican Lowell Weicker of Connecticut was, and still is, a liberal, but made a name for himself with his tough questioning of Nixon's people during the Watergate hearings.) Nowadays, the Republicans in the House and Senate are just conservative, very conservative or extremely conservative. Will enough of them be able to step up to stop Team Trump in time?
