The Republican Party sold its soul to Donald Trump.
And the check bounced.

(19,204 posts)I think Trump was the LAST person Senate Republicans wanted to win the GOP primaries, but in typical Republican fashion they all started walking in lockstep behind Trump once he arrived. Through all of Trump's lies (and there are literally too many to count), through all the the embarrassment Trump caused, through all of the 'tweets', through the Russian scandal WITH his family members in tow, through every law Trump and his crime family have broken........the Republican Senators stayed in lockstep behind Trump, never wavering, never speaking out, always supporting the Failure in Chief.
Until three of them didn't. Three Republican Senators decided to help the PEOPLE of the United States, and not "protect the President". Trump has totally forgotten (if he ever DID know) who he works for. Three Republican Senators, and 48 Democrats haven't forgotten. They work for the PEOPLE of the United States of America.
Thank you Democrats, and thank the three quality Republican Senators from across the aisle.

(50,279 posts)dimwitted Ohio voters being interviewed. With the exception of one woman (who apparently doesn't want her lady parts grabbed), they still love the Donald. Head of the family gave him credit for his job because a jet is now being manufactured there. Never mind the plan was in the works during the Obama administration. It's all because of Don.
