Republicans do not have to wake up each morning afraid of what the president has tweeted. They do not have to fret that the special counsel will find damning evidence of collusion with Russia, obstruction of justice or other criminal or impeachable behavior. They do not have to worry that they'll accomplish absolutely nothing before facing the voters in 2018. They do not have to dread that a presidential temper tantrum will get us into a war, or force a humiliating retreat. They need not fear that the president of their own party will attack them, or even back a primary challenge against them. They could have a normal president. They could have their party back.
In short, a significant portion of elected Republicans have clearly figured out that a President Mike Pence would be highly preferable to President Donald Trump. Whatever virtues they thought Trump had, those never materialized, and seven months of nerve-racking White House histrionics and dysfunction have left them mentally and emotionally exhausted.
Behind closed doors and in whispered cloakroom conversations, most elected Republicans acknowledge that Trump is a menace, a danger to the party and to the country. If they had any doubts, this week should have confirmed, as Rick Wilson put it, that "there are a lot of reasons that GOP Trumpism won't work, but the biggest one is this: Donald Trump hates you."
So, yes, most Republicans in Congress would prefer a stable, very conservative president who once served in the House and governed a red state. All they have to do is get Trump out of there and the Pence presidency can begin. Well, sure, but how is that going to happen?
We don't imagine that a quick divorce from Trump is possible.....

TDS, yep, it’s a thing. It’s real.
She’s psycho.
Has been a long time.
Before Trump every other article she wrote was about how horrible Ted Cruz was.
Now it’s Trump.
“Trump has governed as the most conservative President since Calvin Coolidge. It’s our worthless congress that’s not Conservative.”
Yes.
Their bluff was called big time.
They’ve failed.
But it’s still very early in the first 8 year program.
You have a very great tagline my FRiend.
And it is the absolute truth.
. . most elected Republicans acknowledge that Trump is a menace, a danger to the party and to the country.. . yet there's ample evidence that it's really most elected Republicans (and almost all Democrats) who are the greater danger to the country.
Is it any wonder that polls have Congress with lower positive ratings--by half--than the "unpopular" Trump?
I wasn’t expecting that! Threw up in my mouth just a little.
I’m going to find some bleach and post it now.
Quoting Rick Wilson, as if he is somebody.
Damn! She’s like an ugly version of Ruth Bader Ginsberg!
Yes, because she thinks she is smarter than “the people”.
ROTFL. I’m not surprised the Courier posted her article. She obviously never heard the term RINO or is blind to the fact that she is one herself (not unusual).
The author has no clue about how we react to the President. I don’t care how he does his job AS LONG AS he does what he set out to do. HE ALSO HAS 4 YEARS to do it. Not 100 days. If he can reverse the damage of the last 8 years, then I pray he makes billions more when he is a former President.
If the laws are changed to be financially transparent then all previous presidents must have their COLLEGE AND LIVING HISTORY MADE PUBLIC. Nothing is sacred in vetting for the security of our republic, eh?
I also know who the enemy is (ultimately satan, but I really don’t have to go there) and recognize the lies when I hear them. I have to put this ridiculous article behind me. Yikes.
Washington compost?
Bleh.
FUWP.
You’re kidding right??? That is Obama photoshopped in drag isn’t it?
