Republicans with Presidential aspirations such as Rubio and Cruz are in a quandary. They’d have a better chance if Trump was impeached and couldn’t run again but if they vote to impeach they’d lose their support. <br />We have no choice but to maintain the vigil we’ve attained to keep those who believe Democrats are Socialists at bay. They will never learn. They don’t want to.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679840606511726447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-42127275549203111802021-02-12T12:59:11.246-06:002021-02-12T12:59:11.246-06:00I've wondered for some time how any Republican...I've wondered for some time how any Republicans voting to acquit could possibly do so after seeing all that evidence presented. I can think of only two reasons: either they want the support of Trump's idiot followers, or they're scared to death of them, in terms of being confronted by thugs whenever they're out in public, such as walking through an airport. <br /><br />I'm leaning towards the latter reason, though of course none of them would ever admit to that. I think the ones with the more contorted justifications are the ones for whom public office is no longer what they'd wished for.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875378656423252469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-41980173042268237622021-02-12T12:30:11.083-06:002021-02-12T12:30:11.083-06:00Nikki Haley has become the first Republican presid...Nikki Haley has become the first Republican presidential hopeful to try to appeal to (or appease) both the Trump and the anti-Trump elements in her party. From an interview today in Politico: "I think what we need to do is take the good that [Trump] built, leave the bad that he did, and get back to a place where we can be a good, valuable, effective party."<br /><br />Yeah, lotsa luck with that, lady.

Gerrymandering, voter suppression and acceptance of Trump's blatant and violent attempts at election cancellation prove that this is truth, not political hyperbole.
