I think its a smart move in the long run. Republicans supporting Trump are going down with the ship, even if its just because his term is up.

He's not blackmailing them. They just have the same voters, and most of those voters care a lot more about Trump than they do their local rep or Senator.

There's no benefit to sticking with Trump if he can't win the next general. Look at how the Republicans treated GWB during the 2008 election. They basically all told him to go fuck off.

The people in those districts / states aren't going to vote Democrat so there's no point in trying to court their favor by asskissing Trump. They already got their vote just by having an R next to the name. They have more to gain by courting centrists by rejecting Trump than the stand to lose by not asskissing him.

Never a fan of @justinamash, a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy. If he actually read the biased Mueller Report, composed by 18 Angry Dems who hated Trump,........he would see that it was nevertheless strong on NO COLLUSION and, ultimately, NO OBSTRUCTION...Anyway, how do you Obstruct when there is no crime and, in fact, the crimes were committed by the other side? Justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!

That's not the point. The candidates that were running rejected his endorsements, they were able to do so freely because it earned them centrist voters that hated Bush.

Im saying the point is irrelevant because the circumstances are different. Republicans didnt run as anti-Bush in 2004.

He had strong popularity in 2004 due to his running on "do you want to change presidents in the middle of a war" campaign and people were still pretty salty over how sore of a loser Gore was.

Trump has none of those advantages. Hillary didn't ask for a recount and Trump asked to investigate voter fraud for an election he won because he can't handle not winning the popular vote either.

His foreign war policy has been a complete Trainwreck.

"lmao own the sjws" only goes so far.

Clarify what?

Antifair has been saying Trump sucks is about to fail/fall since 2015 and then every time that doesn't happen he just moves on to the next thing that is going to get Trump.

In this case "Well Bush had a higher approval rating and fell so Trump will"

I'm just saying, what's the definition of insanity again?

That was the opposite of my point, which was that GOP legislators didn't distance themselves from Bush until his approval was considerably lower than Trump's, and they don't seem to have gained much for having done so. There's no real political calculus for the vast majority of GOP lawmakers to be making a point of opposing Trump, which is why most don't.

The suggestion earlier in this topic was that Amash's move was cynically aimed at re-election, but without knowing much about his district, my hunch is that it doesn't benefit him that much.

Let me clarify something. I'm not saying he did it to get re-elected. I am merely countering the earlier stated point that what he did was political suicide. He has more to gain than he has to lose by doing this. If his district is solid red then it is likely he will get re-elected anyway because the people there would still rather vote a republican who hates trump than a democrat.

Look at Mnuchin's seat, for example. Despite many's calls to the democrats to vote him out, they still voted him back in anyway.

That said it looks like he's not running for re-election because he's eyeballing a state governor position but he was basically in the same spot that Amash is in now.
