Lost in all of this was the 40 to 45 Republican congressional retirements. Forty sitting Republicans retired. I started asking Republicans why. And what I was told, “Well, you know, many of them are committee chairmen and they’re term limited out and they don’t want to hang around going back as regular members.” Well, maybe.

But I don’t think that was solely it. I think that the Republican Party in the House of Representatives had a whole bunch of people in there that didn’t like Trump. And I think they had a whole lot of people who thought that Trump was gonna bring massive landslide defeat to the party and they wanted to get out before it happened. They didn’t want to be a part of it; so they announced their resignations.

My opinion is they all had dirt on them - recent, current, way back in their past, whatever - and they were told that the guns are out to nuke Trump, and if they didn't go along they'd be outed.

Who gives up a workless job like a congress member - all those benefits, retirement, cachet, etc.? Who voluntarily leaves that?

They were told to step down and like good little toadies they did.

By far the most cogent comment yet.
