Either Trump has got something on them about how they were bought - or they're doing the Uniparty's dirty work for them by trying to throw control of the House to their Blue jersey pals.

The ranks of forgotten Republicans are growing.
Some were forced out, such as Tim Pawlenty, a former two-term Minnesota governor who lost this week's bid for a political comeback. Some, such as the retiring Republican Sen. Bob Corker, chose to leave on their own. Others still serve, but with a muted voice.
Whether members of Congress, governors or state party leaders, they are struggling to fit into President Donald Trump's Republican Party.
The expanding list of marginalized GOP leaders underscores how thoroughly Mr. Trump has dominated — and changed — the Republican Party in the nearly two years since he seized the presidency. The overwhelming majority of elected officials, candidates and rank-and-file voters now follow the president with extraordinary loyalty, even if he strays far from the values and traditions many know and love.
The Republicans left behind are warning their party with increasing urgency, though it's unclear whether anyone's listening.
"I hope this is a very temporary place for the Republican Party," said Corker. "I hope that very soon we will return to our roots as a party that's very different, especially in tone, from we've seen coming out of the White House."
The forgotten Republicans — people like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — have been unwilling to sit quietly as Mr. Trump steers the GOP away from free trade, fiscal responsibility, consistent foreign policy and civility.
Isolation and political exile have been their rewards.
Their diminished roles leave fewer Republican leaders willing to challenge Mr. Trump under any circumstances, even in his darkest moments.

It is clear that Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a chronic illness for a boatload of Republicans. As it was with Reagan, their strategy is to wait it out. Let’s hope that RINO corrupt cronyism never cons American Patriots again.
Another great one from Buchanan was titled The Sea Island Conspiracy. McConnell and other republicans where hanging out with the masters of the universe. One wonders why the likes of this bunch would be hanging out with the heads of Google, Apple, etc. One wonders how many of this bunch were there too. It seems the word conspiracy was very accurate.
I could understand if TRUMP nominated 2 Liberal Supreme Court Judges, if he did that, I will be there joining thier anti-TRUMP tirade! LOL
“since he seized the presidency”
Very fair characterization by cBS. Not the least bit hyberbolic or over the top.
No, I don’t really see an issue with that, especially as that seems to be exactly what is occurring naturally.
A whole heck of a lot of vagina men and incredibly stupid women need to be swept out of the Republican party though.
To be perfectly honest, I detest the GOP and just about everyone in it (elected members).
My sentiments exactly.
Look at so many of the swamp-dwelling losers profiled here. They talked a great game on social issues and then once in power squandered it, miring our country in pointless wars, rampant immigration, and economic misery.
Along comes Donald Trump (not my first choice. In fact, I thought he was a joke candidate in the beginning). He's not particularly Christian. Not particularly enthusiastic on right-to-life issues, traditional marriage, or the 2nd Amendment. Yet, slowly but surely he starts building a base with his simple message, "I'm a winner and we're going to make America great again!" And that confidence was everything!
I'm about wondering if it's time to ask for "proof of life" on McCain. For a guy with inoperable brain cancer, he sure seems to be hanging around a while. My dad was dead less than five months after his similar diagnosis.
I’ve always thought that the “illness” was to inoculate him against criticism or accusations regarding the Mueller investigation. He’s probably up to his eyeballs in it. If he’s “terminal” no one can say crap. Not saying he’s healthy, but doubt he had what they said.
Either Trump has got something on them about how they were bought - or they're doing the Uniparty's dirty work for them by trying to throw control of the House to their Blue jersey pals.

Geldings...quislings...capons...castratos...these are the always-losers repubs. They are so duplicitous, condescending, self-important and headed OUT!
If he was wrong on so many issues, why would you say that he was smart?
I could've had a V8.
have been unwilling to sit quietly as Mr. Trump steers the GOP away from free trade, fiscal responsibility..

Fiscal responsibility? Since when?
They can fit with ease when they understand that Trump is behaving like we have been begging Republicans to act since, at least, 1960.
Push back! Stop apologizing! Be like Trump!
When you do, there will be hope for this country!
This comes from a guy who pulled for Cruz so hard I could hardly breathe. Trump is behaving like I wanted Cruz to behave if he had won. It says right here that Cruz might have lost.
When Trump won this country dodged another bullet. We now need to get every 2016 Trump voter to get to the polls in 2018. It won't finish the job. It will make the job something we can finish.

The Republican Party needs to DIE. We need a True Populist/Nationalist Party, not a party of Traitors sucking on the ***** of the 00001%.
Your picture post captures it perfectly. :)
