So Darth does cast a bigger shadow over the GOP than even Putin. The WY egomaniac did march us into Iraq and destroy that country real good. He could turn his Death Star on those conservative cowards who won’t stick with the Let’s Take Back the Party To Insure Continued Support of Corporate America program?
Perhaps Trump isn’t so scary to the GOP when he’s facing so many criminal grand juries with just Rudy and the Bonnie and Clyde ambulance chaser lawyers…along with the Wrath of Darth?
Yet somehow it’s still not enough for most Senate Republicans to convict The Con Man of staging an insurrection which we all saw in real time on live TV. That, they are worried might be unconstitutional but lying about an affair would defile the patriotism of an entire nation?
Not really in this cycle. But he still only got 67% of the vote. He really hasn’t had a well funded primary opponent since he started running for Senate, but he still struggles to get out of the 50-60% percent range. I believe he has only run unopposed once in the primary.
I’ve despised him since his days in the House. And that feeling has only grown over the years since.
I loathe people like McConnell, too…but at least he has convictions. Deeply evil convictions, but you know where he stands. Graham has none, and never has. And is yet so needy to spout off his new talking point with such complete and utter partisan hatred.
I of course don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes but I imagine it’s becoming clear to a lot of GOP leaders that while major donors may have tolerated Trump’s antics in return for tax cuts, they’re not going to tolerate the GOP hitching its cart to clearly mentally disturbed kooks like MTG and Boehlert. You can’t deliver on lower taxes and regulations when you’re focused on batshit nonsense like space lasers, coups, and QAnon. Moreover, you’re going to lose elections. Badly.
