Never Underestimate Republicans. They Will Do Anything to Win...ANYTHING

They will steal, cheat, kill, demonize, hurt, lie, and whatever you can think of. Look at Trump and how he acts. There are no rules for them. The rules are for us. They want to win at all costs. We think we have seen it all, and there is more. As said by others, most Republicans will support Trump no matter what. Most would destroy whatever they can to win. Did McConnell bring Garland (Obama's appointment) up for a vote? What else would McConnell do to win? What would Trump do? We must win the next election for President of the United States. Trump must loose if he runs again, and that goes for any other Republican. The United States of America needs us more than it has ever needed a change in party leadership. It needs all of us to do the best we can to elect a different president from our political party.

Republicans look at politics as a life or death struggle—it's no game to them.

of Trump. The future could be much worse than what we have seen. I hope that is not what happens, but I never expected Trump to be President.

Most Republicans want to push their conservative agenda, and they'll do anything to obtain and maintain power. Trump's main motivation is to punish his perceived enemies and make himself look better. He wants to be seen as a "winner" with everyone else being losers. Of course now he wants to stay in office just to stay out of prison.
