Yet they don’t see it, or are too afraid to stand up to Donnie Two Scoops to stop it. Either way, voters are going to remember who shut down the government, no matter how the GOP and Trump try to spin the story.

They don’t stand up to Donny because they know the conditions of their party. It is now the Trump party and it is damaged. They let him take their party because it was good times.

They thought hey this jerk won, he is not what we wanted, but he isn’t very bright and we can control him to get what we want. That worked up until he got away from their control, not that he ever was, but they thought they could rein him in.

Now they don’t have the House, they are looking at a tough go for the Senate in 2020. If they piss off the Trumper base they are dead.

And they have a President that is looking worse day by day. And even in this state he is killing them and they can’t do shit about it.

What do they have to work with that is reasonable? It is all crazy all the time. I don’t think that is sustainable.

I think that is why you are seeing some of the older guys leaving the GOP. It’s gotten away from them and they don’t want to be around it. They did it to themselves.
