“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.
You still don't get it. Without Trump there would be no Republican party. Before Trump, the Republican party was dead on the floor. No? And you'd be listening to Hillary and her Democrat disciples of deceit making speeches from the Oval Office. After 8 years of Obama then 8 years of H. Clinton, this country would have been belly up done.
Yes there are a couple of good Republicans in the house and Senate. But for me, I trust Trump, not the Republcan party as the majority of them can not be trusted. And they've proved that over and over.
