A former Republican Congressman claims House GOP members are 'absolutely disgusted and exhausted' by President Donald Trump's behavior, but are reluctant to speak out for fear of angering the party's base.
Dent, who served as Pennsylvania's 15th congressional district from 2005 until 2018, has now registered as a lobbyist and works as a political commentator for CNN, where he made the sensational claims on Friday.
'They can be more concerned about their election, or their legacies. And I would argue to many of them: your legacy is more important than the next election.'
Dent claims he would likely vote in favor of impeaching the president given what he has heard so far.

CNN, where RINOs go to die.
Fake news.
Just another GOPutz.
Well, that’s bound to happen when someone upsets their gravy train.
“but are reluctant to speak out for fear of angering the party’s base.”
Good. They fear us.
Where do these traitors crawl out from?>>>>>>>>>>>>>
PDJT has guaranteed a national landslide for the GOP and this is how they thank him?
These GOP RINO idiots need an attitude adjustment.
We want names.
CNN whore/useful idiot is not a legacy to be proud of.
These country club type GOP congress critters are very happy making tons of money in DC, and don’t want anyone rocking the boat.
And they are NOT used to any republican leader actually fighting back each and every attack by media and other politicians. They have not seen anything like this before and are shocked someone in politics can be so fearless.
First step in becoming a whore is betrayal.
Confused here...
Aren’t they supposed to work for “the base”?
That’s who put them there in the first place.
More importantly, is that why these quislings are walking off the line (retiring) in the midst of the battle leaving us to the enemy of all we hold dear: the DNC?
Not enough to stop thinking getting along with Democrats is their job.
They are shocked any REPUBLICAN in Congress can be so fearless. Dems are fearless all the time. Dems have the propaganda media on their side.
... which is the way it should be.
Replace “Trump” with taxpayers.

BOURGEOIS, SOCIALISTS
A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.
To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of Socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete CNN systems.
We may site Proudhon’s Philosophie de la Misere as an example of this form.
The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements.
Communist Manifesto pg 49.
OK, ok I put CNN in there. Sorry, Karl. Just joking.
“FORMER” says it all. What a wimp.
Not even a decent establishment republican. Dent has a Dent in his head.
Name names so we can primary them.
Or shut up.
