The dumbest part is that those congressmen still voted along the trump line the vast majority of the time (iirc, corker is in the mid 80s). They could do so much more than make statements. That risks upsetting Trump's cult though. Basically they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They have two choices at this moment: A. Impeach Trump, put Pence in office--and then get more done. (And probably fuck the country over WAY more) but at the cost of making Trump supporters rabid and wanting their blood. OR B. Suck it up, make a few statements that vaguely criticize the president without going so far as to upset his base, and hope their voters replace the older generation who's numbers are starting to dwindle. Seeing as doing B won't upset the evangelical base, or their old rich people base... they'll easily choose B. At least until Trump does something even they can't defend. (which isn't much, honestly. It's a very short list) --- This isn't funny Dean, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes! ~Alexandra ... Copied to Clipboard! |
