How can that be a crisis? Your party hasn’t done much for eight years.
What a disgrace to the name John Kennedy…
Kennedy: This is fine.
gop can’t govern.
I have never seen so many people so eager to dive head first into a running woodchipper in my whole life.
CNN’s framing is precious. 1/3 support it, almost all Republicans. Democrats and independents are split by roughly the same proportions. So of course, that means the split is along partisan lines, not that Republicans are losing independents on this.
On the other hand, if Republicans somehow manage to pass this gobbler, I fully expect Democrats to fail to capitalize on it effectively because there are high school homecoming queen campaigns that have better marketing strategies than the Democrats do on anything.
Flake’s remarks are about Trump and where the party is going. Dodging the central question is weak sauce.
These are the words of a guy who got elected this very year, and who realizes it’s only going to get harder to will himself out of bed for the next five.
He is doing performance art - acting out what Corker had been doing until he could no longer keep the facade up - pretending their is no problem, not saying a word sidewise, walking on eggshells due to abuser in chief.
“I’m not going to say Jeff’s right or wrong. You know, those are his feelings. And he’s entitled to express them. But I don’t think there’s some crisis in the Republican party”
“In summary, my career at the US Senate just started and I want to stay for years to come.”
“Americans want results”
Americans want GOOD results, not just “results”.
It’s just like Huckabee’s comment to a question about lack of “results”:
“America is WINNING”.
Winning? Is that all we’re about? Winning what?
[facepalm]
And speaking of things I had never seen that were so . . . this is peripheral more than OT. Danziger draws some brutal damn cartoons, but this may well be the most brutal savaging of a beloved Villager I’ve ever seen from him.
No crisis, just incompetence. Oh, and a good deal of fraud.
Crisis? What crisis?? Alternatively…
There is no crisis in the GOP
Yet another broken record of a morally bankrupt congressman without a hint of integrity to own up to the years of GOP obstruction aimed squarely at making life better for the rich 1%'rs and corporations and fucking the lowly people.
“The things that kids do in a junior high cafeteria, it makes for interesting television, but I don’t think that’s what Americans are focused on.”
Yeah, not all of them. But the orange-colored, anus-mouthed one currently occupying the White House certainly is.
Well then they better get on with it because whether they know it or not they are in crisis.
It’s increasingly obvious to the majority of Americans that their President is mentally ill. They’re in thrall to a base that demands they take ever more extreme positions and enact policies most Americans violently oppose. I’d call that a crisis. Just because they’re in power doesn’t make that untrue. They gradually became a permanent opposition party entirely unready to have power. Having power is exactly what the crisis is.
Alfred E. Neuman would run as a reform Republican today.
The late, not-so-great Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX), once stated (in so many words), “Congress thinks all Americans’ income belongs to the US Treasury, and Congress just decides how much it will allow Americans to keep”. That’s actually exactly how the GOP views our private income and wealth. They want to steal it and give it to the 1%, because truly, they want it all.
