It doesn't matter the TV station, never Trump Republicans, even Flake and Corker and other GOP House and Senate members, all blame Trump.
They complain the wacky policies come from Trump.
That the damage to our institutions come from Trump.
Yes Trump is an authoritarian figure. Yes he is Hitleresque. Yes he cozies up to brutal dictators like Putin and Un and others. Yes Trump is racist. He seems to hate Mexicans the most. Yes Trump disrespects women. Yes Trump gives tax cuts to billionaires and cuts healthcare to the poor and the middle class. Yes, yes, yes.
Even many of his followers give those as reasons they admire and support him. No one is really arguing these things. Notice when you point them out, Trump's followers on the USMB swarm your thread, but they don't disagree. How could they? There is nothing they can say to defend his actions. They just don't want you talking about them.
So where is all this coming from?
The never Trumpers are fond of saying they want their party back. What party? The 90% white party that put out political ads like Willie Horton and Welfare Queens? The Party that convinced an uneducated base that "Trickle Down" works? The party that blocked the last president's constitutional authority to nominate a Supreme Court Judge for a year before he left office pretty much telling us that a Democratic President only gets three years, not four. The party under Reagan, Bush and now Trump that cut taxes by trillions for corporations and billionaires at a time when we've had bridges falling down and US Citizens are being poisoned by the tens of thousands?
All that was before Trump. You can't blame that on Trump. Trump is simply picking up the baton laid down by the GOP and running with it. Republicans right here on the USMB boast they are so happy to win. What have they won? Ask them to define what they've won and they do one of two things. They start calling you names or they lie.
Steve Bannon said Republicans go for a head wound but Democrats are having a pillow fight. Steve Bannon said that and he's right.
Trump is a symptom of a sick and dangerous political party. Some are calling Paul the cowardly Ryan and saying Mitch is soft. But I see it a different way. Paul and Mitch like everything Trump is doing and support him 110%. To me, it looks like they are being strong.
So what is the cure?
I believe it's this new wave of elected officials we will see a record number of winning in November. Republicans aren't scared in the least of Nancy, or Chuck or Diane or any of the other Democrats over 75 who insist on playing by the Kingsbury Rules at a knife fight. They go low and we go high - proven to be a sure formula for losing.
So let's see what happens in November. Trying to take votes away from the GOP and from Trump is fools mission. They only thing Democrats can do is get those who haven't voted in the past to see the danger of this racist and divisive party and vote. You can't stop Republicans with rhetoric. The only way to defeat them is at the ballot box and if we want a democracy in the future, they must be defeated.
