You guys get all high and mighty and moralistic over a piddly stock transaction the likes of which have been done by Senators for years and years, to the detriment of our Party

Our party? Ya mean the one that was corrupt to the core and was a disaster prior to Trump? If not for Trump, the Republican party was all but dead on the floor and would have lost their azzes to the likes of Hillary Clinton. Prior to Trump the differences between the two parties were inconsequential.

I trust Trump, not the Republcan party.

“I trust Trump, not the Republcan party.”

Without a Pub Party majority in the Senate, Trump will get nothing through Congress. If we don’t win back the House, more impeachment hearings are a sure bet. Without the Senate Pub majority (and Mitch McConnell’s deep desire to have conservative judges appointed) we would be out of luck on who sits on the SCOTUS, the Ninth Circus court, and courts throughout the fruited plain.

You paint with a very broad brush. We have some wonderful House and Senate conservatives doing battle on Trump’s behalf day after day. I agree Burr is a weak link RINO type, but he is too integral to our Senate majority to be gotten rid of over a piddly issue. We have to live with him. Maybe his attitude will change now that the Dems are after him, and won’t be quite as friendly with Warner. But a majority is a majority, and we can’t for one minute lose control over the Senate. We all know that there are a variety of weak link Pubs in both houses, but for now we have to live with it, and get rid of the lemons during Pub primaries. We don’t have to worry about Burr as he is not running for office again. But we need his votes in the Senate now in order to get judge appointments completed, and for other votes that will come up where our slim margin is all important, especially as Romney’s votes can’t be trusted. I have no great love for Burr, but I am exceedingly practical in my politics, enough to know this is not the time to be going after Burr tooth and tong.
