Ex-GOP Rep: Not Many GOPers Would Be ‘In The Search Party’ If Trump Went Missing | Talking Points Memo

He is not going away because they didn’t and won’t do the hard work to get rid of him.

Until some of Trump’s ass-kissers turn on him, these stories mean nothing. Let me know when the mouth-breathers abandon him. All the Charlie Dents and Barbara Comstocks don’t move the needle one bit.

“I mean, if Donald Trump disappeared tomorrow, I don’t think you’d have many Republicans in the search party. Maybe a few prosecutors, but not Republicans."

It would be great if we could test this hypothesis …

On a permanent basis. Extremely permanent.

Disappear or be convicted. Both would be fine.

True dat. Ironically, the 2nd impeachment made it as easy as it could have been and they still whiffed it.

If Donald Trump disappears tomorrow his cult will believe he has gone to heaven to rule from there.

And his enablers in Congress will keep on playing along.

Quite true…this has always been a numbers game, and Biden’s light-hearted jab (when he, when asked about running against Trump, quipped that “there may not be a Republican Party in 2024”) hints at it.

Trump does have support, but this is not a static situation.

I’d like to say if the commission was just about Chump, they would have agreed to it. But since it will be investigating multiple aspects, they know they themselves will have plenty of implication in the whole thing. They had their chance to cut Chump out of the herd with the 2nd impeachment and as @trnc said…whiffed. What fugging idiots and cowards.

In the days of slavery here and in Latin America, people in bondage developed ways to communicate with–and about–their oppressors.

“people in bondage”=GOP
“oppressor”=Trump

Bennett is not even remotely an improvement over Bibi.

He is also for the total annexation of the West Bank and Gaza.

We need to stop giving our tax dollars to the murderers in the ME.
