I was listening to Rubio on the radio the other night. I was straining, I mean I was straining to hear ONE CLEAR word or two that supported Trump.

NooOOOOOOOooooooo. No, this clown, chose his words very carefully. Making out the Syrian thing to be a very complex situation etc etc.

You get the idea, that these elected Senators are for the most part, buffoons. Do nothings, and no one is more a do nothing than Marco Rubio.

All of them.

And today, I’m seeing where Old Mithc is choosing his words very carefully also.

Mr. Hewitt, please tell me why you feel the need to compel Republicans to support Trump?

This is my beef. Why is “the base” constantly in this position of constantly having to cajole elected “Republicans” to stand up and fight after they have been elected?

It’s like every elected Republican is a useless and flaccid noodle constantly having to be warned about their predisposition to willingly allow Democrats to simply continue to rape them.

Yup. If they don’t defend Trump from all the attacks, the GOP may as well merge with the Rat party and honestly BE the Uniparty.

If Trump is chased from office, I am convinced a new middle/ right party will emerge

Maybe, since they only listen to the stupid failed political consultants and the Fake Demcorat Fascist directed News, this might finally penetrate the fog of invincible stupidity the DC GOP-E types keep themselves locked in.

I didn’t know that Hewitt was now pro-Trump. He obviously saw that it is not very profitable to be a never-trumper.

The dirty little secret here is that “the Republican base” isn’t very Republican at all. I suspect no more than 10% of the voters in this country actually support the fascist/globalist agenda of the D.C. Republican Party.

They may go to Washington with the best of intentions but then they have it explained to them that they’d better go along or they’re toast. DC is in the business of farming us.

He still is a never Trumper. Leopards cannot change their spots. Don’t trust him.

I'd say this is quite an understatement. You have to love how Trump pushes the truth even at his own personal peril... and it slowly exposes all the liars hidden in his own party.

You’re right. THEY are the reason being a ‘republican’ became an embarrassment so long ago.

Without corporate donors… and its being a great place to launder their money....the GOP wouldn’t even exist anymore

so.. the left would have us believe that the chief law enforcement officer in the US (the president) cant encourage a foreign ally to cooperate in an ongoing criminal investigation?

and

the left would have us believe that anyone running for president is completely shielded from prosecution for crimes they may have committed ?

the only ABUSE of power I see here is NANCY abusing the power of the house majority!

so FU Nancy!

WE stand with PRESIDENT TRUMP!

IMHO, there’s a couple of factions to the GOP.
There’s the GOPe made up of Bush-league types as well as the “get along and we’ll all get rich” country club types. Both of these kinda blend together to make up the “lifers’ within the party. Then, there are some good guys that love the country and want to make things right by sincerely representing the People.
The GOPe doesn’t even deserve spit...they’ve sold us out, and the country...over and over again to line their pockets with cash. They’re no better, and even worse, than the RATs.
GOPe = RAT = UniParty = Deep State = Communists.
I donate to specific candidates that try to represent us properly. I NEVER donate money to the general GOP party. And never will unless/until all the GOPe types are gone.
