Austin office, voice mail, Houston office, voice mail.
Senate majority leader, out.

(1,180 posts)Said the same thing, except not one of these Repug Senators and Representatives have publicly called out Trump by name. There are still chicken shits.

My tea party congressman is using voice mail. No one is brave enough to take the calls from angry constituents.

Then shitgibbon will say the opposite an hour later.

(15,258 posts)The repuglicans in congress may be dim-shuts but their puppeteers have the end-game planned.
Go back to your milling around, cluster-clucking.
When your destiny is finalized, you'll be the last to know.

(6,819 posts)The response from the Repugs is "crickets" --
the silence continues to be deafening.

(37,648 posts)They can only screw up. If they keep their mouths shut, they can later agree with the winning argument, whatever that is.
Congress isn't filled with leaders. They are politicians elected to represent smaller geographical areas. They don't "lead" anything. They vote in response to payola or for their districts.
Governors and Presidents are supposed to be the leaders. Former Governor Romney has spoken. The two former Bush Presidents have spoken. Obama has spoken.
I didn't see statements by the Clintons or Carter.
The governors aren't on a national stage, so unless they're asked, we probably won't see statements by them...except McAuliffe, because he's the Gov of VA.

(42,332 posts)He made a fairly emotional (for Wolf) statement about it last night.
Former CIA director Brennan sent him a note today completely disavowing the Nazi in the White House.

DeminPennswoods
(15,286 posts)never forget that. They want tax cuts, privatization of gov't functions, elimination of the social safety net. That's why if you're waiting for Republicans to grow a spine, you'll be disappointed.

(13,524 posts)to me. Shit happens - zzzzz. More shit - zzzzz. Now Charlottesville - nobody to be found anywhere.
And it always makes me wonder, jeeze, does this criminal outfit - in its entirety- know something I don't? Is there a master plan/endgame they're hip to, and we're not?
Obviously...I dunno.

(5,255 posts)They probably would have gotten a warm reception from Toad and a comfy environment for parroting talking points. At the very least they would almost certainly have evaded any difficult questioning.

(16,926 posts)perhaps a landslide could take place with the "underlings" if someone in leadership had the balls and stood up to take the first step.
But you're not gonna' see that from "Lying Ryan" and "McTurtle" for sure!

..... "In order for the G.O.P. to become even a marginally functional political party again, all memory of the 2016 campaign will have to be obliterated," Klugian said. "That means everyone who witnessed it will have to be dead, and probably those peoples children, and their children's children, too. I wouldn't bet on the Republican Party recovering any earlier than the year 2132." ........
