(10,498 posts)Republicans are ruthless.
They don't like Trump - just like we don't.
Yet they've proved they would hold their noses if he kept them in power ...
Make no mistake: the Republicans enabled Trump
Now? If Trump represents them losing power and seats on congress?
They'll throw him out with the evening garbage.
To save face, Trump can feign illness. Pence takes over and pardons him (after the election because Trump has dirt on the Republicans too)
The Republicans will have already run internal polling on who would be the most competitive against Joe Biden. And away they go.
Trump serves as a public pinata. Shinny new candidate gets a free pass from many.
MAGAts don't bolt because poor Trumpy got sick.
Nixon messed with the Vietnam peace talks before he was president.
Reagan: Iran contra
GHW Bush: Willie Horton ad
GW Bush Florida 2000. Kerry swiftboating 2004
Obama: Muslim & Kenyan smears along with death panels
Trump: Russia, Ukraine, etc
(many more transgressions not listed)
This is how the Republicans operate. They've operated this way my whole life.
If they want Trump to resign, he'll resign. They could still impeach him.
They're not going to let Trump take them entirely down the toilet.
