Republicans Need To Decide If Protecting Trump Is Worth The Price Of Destroying Their Party

[skews13]

In the next two election cycles, the Senate map will flip from favorable to Republicans to strongly unfavorable, and with Democrats sweeping to victories at the state level, they soon won't have gerrymandering to protect them in the House that they just lost despite it. And as investigations that they can't stop further expose the depth and breadth of the corruption that is the defining feature of the Trump era, Republicans will have choices to make. Do they really want to continue to protect Trump? Is it worth it? They can't be expected to do the right thing for the right reasons, but political self-preservation does tend to motivate them. Will it, or do they want their political careers and their political party to go down in metaphorical flames that they themselves lit? We'll soon find out.

There is also the evangelical cult problem which the republicans have and that is firmly embedded.

Depends on whom you're talking about.

No doubt GOP politicians have nightmares about this because Trump is a such a, uh, polarizing figure. More accurately, an un-serious embarrassment.

But listen to talk radio. The flock thinks he's the flawless savior of the party, the guy who is creating a permanent paradigm shift. So the politicians are stuck. Too bad.

The same question could be put to evangelicals the article put to Republicans. In the face of declining numbers supporting organized religion, they have as much or even more to lose.

The surest way to destroy the Republican party is for them to take advice from sleazy disingenuous liberals.

So you believe that the way to save their religion is for them to become atheists?

The way to save the GOP is to repudiate hateful lunatics like you

The GOP is finally beginning to notice that the emperor has no clothes, and are quietly peeling off. That will become a flood by next election. Trump has almost run out of people to insult. My best guess is that he will end up with only the evangelicals, whose hypocrisy has become rock solid, and Midwest farmers, who will cheerfully vote against their own best interest, just to oppose anyone who lives on the coast.

 

[BluesLegend]

Here we go again the left telling us we need to act like more like liberals. Instead we'll just let Trump continue kicking the crap out of you and your liberal media fake news pals.

 

[Anathema]

Trump is the only thing Republicans have going for them. Without him, the Democrats would likely hold the White House and both houses of Congress by significant majorities.

If the Republicans want to remain significant they need to move to the Right and actually govern/legislate from the Right. Anything else makes them nothing more than the lite version of the Democrat Party.

The way to save the Republican party is to bring Lincoln back from the grave. There is NO other way

I suppose that is true. Not one single Muslim Latino has tried to kill you in you sleep....

A dubious claim, since bending over backwards to protect the criminality of Boiking and Hildabeest haven't harmed your team too much.....Party man hacks usually stay with the team.
