(14,564 posts)they fear one thing more than anything else - their rabid base.
There is a reason 45 is poking the shit holes, it pits the "base" against them, he does that to highlight the repercussions if they were to act against him.
The greatest fear Rs have now are primaries - they can game the general election with gerrymandering, voter suppression, use of propoganda in general elections, but not in primaries because these things all target Ds and independents.
In primaries it is all about the sainted "base" and any move by any one of these scumbags to impeach 45 will very likely get them outsed in a primary.
You have never heard of our congressman, he is a typical asshole R and our district is hopelessly R. He will be our congressmen until he decides not be our congressman. BUT, if he were to vote to impeach 45 he would get pummeled in the primary.
Why on earth would Ryan or McConnell (who in their bones hate the evil liberal and that is all they know, anyways) try to make a move on 45 when they would have no one within their own party to back that play?
